It is my goal is to provide my clients with outstanding legal representation. To accomplish that, I seek to: (1) take the time necessary to understand your personal circumstances, needs, goals, and concerns; (2) be well-informed of new developments in the law and how those developments affect you; (3) utilize the most suitable, efficient, and cost-effective strategies to accomplish your objectives; and (4) provide you the peace of mind that you have hired an attentive, responsive and caring attorney to help you through difficult times.

In August 2010, I opened the doors of my own firm.  Prior to this, I was a senior associate at Quinlivan Wexler LLP where I had been a member of the Estate Planning and Probate department since joining the firm in 2001.  I am dedicated to personalized service for each and every client. My approach is educational and proactive – I first determine each client’s individual needs, desires and values, and then tailor their plan to best fulfill their wishes.

I went to law school at one of our nation's finest schools at the University of California at Irvine, where I took advanced courses in criminal law and procedure. I believe everyone deserves a complete defense. I believe in helping my clients address not only their legal problems, but all the complications they can cause. Since 2011 I have worked on cases ranging from petty theft to murder. I interned with the Orange County Public Defender's office, assisting with a range of matters at various stages of a case. This included helping indigent clients file for expungements at no cost as part of their "New Leaf" program. In 2016 I began working for one of California's top DUI defense firms. For two years I worked tirelessly on the most serious DUI cases, ranging from first offense DUI's to vehicular manslaughter and DUI murder. Since January of 2018 I have opened my own practice so that I can better cater to my clients on their terms. I am trial tested across a range of cases. As parft of my commitment to clients I don't believe in screening calls, or making clients speak to assistants and receptionists. I believe every client deserves to have an attentive and aggressive attorney. I understand being charged with a crime is scary. I personally handle each and every case that comes across my desk. I never have another attorney handle my cases.. I do not charge for a consultation. Call me and let's start planning your defense.

I truly care about my clients, taking the time to get to know them and making sure that their needs are addressed.  By utilizing technology, and immense work,  I have been able to achieve amazing results for some of my clients, turning cases that others believed had no value into life altering monetary settlements.. Being part of the Sweet Law team brings significant resources. We at Sweet Law provide an intensely personal service. We represent our clients.

I have exclusively practiced family law in Southern California since the time I was licensed as an attorney nearly a decade ago. I graduated magna cum laude from UCLA with a double major in political science and international relations and recieved my Juris Doctorate from Chapman University School of Law. I have advocated for clients ranging from high-net-worth individuals, business owners, blue collar workers, stay-at-home parents and pro per litigants (self-represented parties). In each scenario, no matter the client, I have always prided myself in providing the same level of expertise, respect, and attention to each case I work on.. Litigation is not always the only option, although it may be in some scenarios. Whether it be limited finances or resources, poor health, preservation of your family unit or lack of time that prohibit litigation in court, I have been able to work with clients in resolving disputes and negotiating while outside of court as well. When appropriate, I have been able to guide clients through a collaborative approach that addresses all aspects of divorce by minimizing conflict, reducing unnecessary costs, and promoting a more positive outcome for you and your family.. I founded my firm out of a desire to meet my client’s legal needs. I pay attention to detail and know how to properly move your case to resolution so that you are not stuck in limbo or frustration. I deliver “big firm” advocacy and proficiency but more efficiently and affordably.. I have successfully represented clients in all aspects of their family law matter including but not limited to: dissolutions, paternity actions, breach of fiduciary duty, litigation of premarital agreements, fraudulent transfers, modifications of child and spousal support, termination of support, establishing and modifying custody and visitation orders, request for and defending move aways, child custody and Evidence Code Section 730 Evaluations etc. I am also fluent in Farsi.. When I am not working, I enjoy spending quality time and traveling with my husband and children.

I have been practicing law for almost a decade now with extensive experience within the criminal defense, DUI/DWI and family law arenas.  I carefully analyze each case to determine the best strategies and avenues we should explore and utilize in working on your case.  My goal is to make you feel as you are being heard, your concerns and worries are my worries, and to help alleviate the uncertainity and stress that comes with a case.  During my time in law school, I clerked for two well-established and top judges, and learned a tremendous amount under their tutelage.  My team and I work diligently on every case we take on, and devote our entire team to ensuring the best possible results and outcomes are achieved.

I have been nominated by Superlawyers.com as 'Top Rated Criminal Defense Attorney in Costa Mesa, CA' every year since 2014.  When I'm not working to secure my client's freedom, I enjoy reading, yoga, and the beach.
