One must love what they do to truly excel at it! Passion is key. As a divorce lawyer, I love what I do because I get the incredible opportunity to work alongside people to help them (and their families) through tough emotional times, while resolving their financial and/or custody issues. Seeing people get a fresh start at the end of a case is rewarding. This makes me passionate about my clients and their lives. The faster and more efficient I am, the faster my clients get that fresh start. I am even more dedicated and passionate in Court, (if that is what is necessary), because it means someone or something has blocked a resolution.  These are the motivations that make me tick, not to mention I am also an active dad who is passionate about his kids, and active in his community, plus a fan of outdoor sports.. My credentials and experience match my passion. Board-certified as a specialist in family law by The State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization, I have more than 17 years of legal experience, and I provide outstanding representation, advice and support to my clients throughout Orange County who are going through a divorce or other family law issues.. I am uniquely situated to handle divorce litigation with both business litigation and transactional experience in the first decade of my legal career.  I have achieved considerable success helping my clients make the best-informed financial and custody decisions that will affect their families for years to come, while also aggressively representing them in Court (when the circumstances of their case warrant it).. My early practice was in the banking finance industry in matters of regulatory compliance and securities offerings. Subsequently, before joining Minyard Morris, I practiced state and federal litigation in matters of bad faith insurance, employment and contract disputes, real property litigation, and personal injury actions on both the plaintiff and the defense side. My high-stakes civil-litigation experience, combined with complex securities and financial transaction experience, add unique insight to my advice and recommendations.. I now limits my practice to family law matters in Orange County. My success in family law is measured not only in terms of the number of trials and contested hearings on nearly every focus area in Family Law, but also in the number of successful resolutions leading to stipulated Judgments or Orders. These earned me the designation of a certified specialist in the minimum time permitted by The State Bar (i.e. 5 years), and I has continued to build upon that foundation since.. I have also received several commendations for my pro bono and volunteer work for the poor and disadvantaged, including serving as a Board Member for Community Legal Aid SoCal, volunteering with pro bono legal clinics, and a perennial volunteer for the Constitutional Rights Foundation mock trial competition. On the weekends, I also find time to volunteer with my community in youth sports, including coaching and refereeing.. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree at Point Loma Nazarene University (summa cum laude) and my Juris Doctorate at American University, Washington College of Law in Washington, D.C. While in D.C., I interned for the U.S. Agency for International Development in the Litigation and Enforcement Division, and also participated in a fellowship in the Office of The Curator of the Supreme Court of the United States. During my undergraduate studies, I studied abroad at the Nizhni-Novgorod State University in Russia, after previously serving as a full-time English teacher for a public school in Moscow. I am admitted to practice before all Superior Courts in the State of California as well as the U.S. District Court for the Southern and Central Districts of California as well as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.
