I switched sides! For me more than 20 years, I practiced employment law on the defense side, representing employers. I worked at prestigious law firms with amazing lawyers and learned from the best. Yet I felt like I was living the movie Groundhog Day. I was doing the same thing over and over again, raising the same defenses for the same employers that either couldn’t (or wouldn’t) fix the problems that caused their employees to take legal action.. California employment laws can be complicated, and they change regularly. But that does not excuse non-compliance.. Here’s what employers need do, but often fail to spend the time, energy, or money to achieve:. • Pay women and people of color the same as white men for performing substantially similar work.. • Pay workers their full wages in a timely manner and with accurate itemized paystubs.. • Stop classifying workers as exempt (not overtime-eligible) when they spend most of their time performing the same duties as the employees they supervise, and/or earn less than $1,240 per week ($64,480 per year).. • Hold supervisors and employees accountable for discrimination and harassment, and create a safe environment for employees.. • Conduct effective investigations when employees raise issues of discrimination, harassment, and unfair pay, and don’t retaliate against employees who complain.. • Advise employees of their rights to take leaves of absence, and don’t retaliate against employees who seek or take leave.. • Look for effective accommodations for disabled employees, rather than just placing them on indefinite unpaid leave or firing them.. I’m done defending employers. I know the law; I know what makes employers tick; and I know what buttons to push to drive results. Now I want to use that for the employees’ advantage against employers that violate the law.. And my firm, Advantage Advocates, was born! If you need help with employer-related issues, please contact me, or pass this on to a friend in need.

I strive to be our clients' trusted legal advisor, a member of their team committed to the task of helping them grow their business, protecting their assets and giving them peace of mind to enjoy what they do.  We are not focused on our bottom line.  Rather, we are focused on getting the best result for our clients that they want and need.  If it's a contract review that takes 1 hour or a complex business transaction that takes 3 months, we are committed to working on both (and everything in between) diligently, professionally and efficiently.  When a client reaches a goal or milestone because of our involvement, strategic counsel and advice, we are buoyed by that success as if it were our own.. Outside of the office, I love spending quality time with family and friends, building Legos, watching movies, floating in the pool, playing video and board games, going hiking, and enjoying great California wines.

I help families plan and protect their legacy with my 3 step estate planning system.. Ever since my father passed away unexpectedly and especially since I became a parent, I realized that having a complete estate plan is one of the most important things a parent can do for their family.

I handle matters for clients as though I am representing myself.  Whether it is advising/counseling a client or handling a matter that is being litigated, I take pride in understanding my client's business and needs in order to formalize a strategy in handling whatever issue and/or matter that may present itself.  I have experience handling matters in Superior Court and Federal Court, as well as handling matters before administrative agencies such as DLSE/Labor Commissioner and DFEH.  I have resolved numerous matters via mediation, settlement conference, and self-initiated/handled settlement discussions.  I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your business.
