I grew up in the South Bay and went to El Camino College.  This is my home, and these are my people.  When I was a young man, I spent two years as a missionary in South America where I became fluent in Spanish.  I also learned to focus on people and not results.  The justice system can be imposing and clients need a counsellor at law, not just someone who goes to court with them.  That's why my practice is focused on getting the best results for the indivdual and in helping people have reasonable expectations about potential outcomes.  I always had an interest in government and the law, and so I pursued a career in police work where I worked in patrol, traffic enforcement, and plain clothes/undercover narcotics and vice enforcement.  I know how police investigations are conducted, and know how cops think.  This gives me some distinct advantages that other lawyers simply don't have.  I finished my bachelor's degree while I was working as a police officer and headed off to law school.  For two years in law school, I was the teaching assistant for the crminal law and criminal procedure courses.  I know this stuff like the back of my hand.  Having now worked as a prosecutor trying criminal cases, and working exclusively on death penalty litigation for a decade at the federal court, my focus on what are the most important aspects of criminal defense work is finely tuned.  I know I can be of assistance to you.

Grace is a sole practitioner, which allows her to have direct and personal involvement with her clients. She started her career at the most prestigious “Big Firm” in the United States, gaining valuable and rewarding experience on one-of-a-kind transactions. But during her busy career, her grandmother passed away leaving her father, an only child, to handle the estate. It was a small estate; a house and a checking account–not that much different from most folks. For two years, Grace watched her dad spend his time traveling back and forth from the county courthouse, hiring experts, trying to transfer the title of his his mother’s house into his own name, as next of kin. Why was this so difficult? Grace’s grandparents had invested in a Living Trust, but the Trust was not recognized as valid by the State of California. Apparently, the assets in the estate were not “delivered” correctly to the Trust, and the Trust paperwork could not be located. Therefore, Grace’s father had to Probate this “small” estate, just as if his mother had left no plans in place at all, as if she had left only a Will. Two years later, and after $26,000 in expenses, the State transferred the house into Grace’s father’s name. In this instance, everyone was in agreement over what was legally appropriate, and the probate went through relatively smoothly. Imagine how much it would have cost and how long it might have taken, if some of the parties were not in agreement!. Grace wants to make a difference! She decided to specialize in Estate Planning in order to save others from her father’s predicament.
