In 2003, I started my own estate planning law firm after just three years in practice. People said I was crazy, that I needed more time under my belt, and that I should wait until my kids were older (I had a 4 year old and a 6 month old).. My husband was a stay-at-home dad taking care of them and we didn't have much in the bank in the way of savings. But I made the leap anyway.Within three years, I had tossed out the old, broken model of law practice and implemented a radically new business model and legal marketing methodology that allowed me to bring in a million dollars a year of revenue. The only problem was I was still working like crazy.But in my fourth year, after I streamlined and built legal marketing and practice management systems into my office that all changed. I was still bringing in a million dollars a year of revenue but I was only working in my office a few days a week.That's when I began teaching this New Law Business Model law firm management and legal marketing model to other lawyers.. It's called the PFL Way and over the past several years, I've taught it to hundreds of lawyers who are now living the dream of loving their law practice, making great money, having clients who love them and loving being lawyers again.. You can check it out for yourself at . We'd love to support you to put a new law business model in place in your law practice.

I've been licensed in Arizona since 2002, and in California since 2012. During that time I have represented clients before the IRS and numerous state revenuers in all stages of civil controversy: audit, collection, and Tax Court. I have represented dozens of clients in court-appointed criminal appeals before the U.S Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. While in law school I clerked for the City Attorney of Anaheim (California) in the misdemeanor prosecution office, and for the City Attorney of Huntington Beach (Calfiornia) in the constitutional-issues office. In my pre-law days I taught myself programming languages and worked as a software engineer and developer a combined seven years for defense contractor Northrop Grumman (formerly TRW). I've also written a couple non-law books; they're available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. On the side I practice martial arts (particular fondness for aikido, jujitsu, and escrima) and skateboarding (goofy foot longboarder!).

I'm admitted in California and New York and have over 14 years’ experience representing corporate and individual clients. For the past few years I've worked with a number of cannabis companies in California and other states, along with representing businesses in more traditional industries. I have experience with corporate governance, commercial transactions, regulations, licensing, and intellectual property, among other areas, and I often provide services as an outside general counsel to startup and established businesses. When not working, I enjoy spending time with my partner Marianne, step-daughter Audrey, and puppy Delilah.

I have practiced law for 42 years and done a variety of practices with my wife including criminal defense, personal injury defense, unlawful detainers etc.  I have conducted over 500 trials including criminal, and civil maters and jury trials.  We have focused our practice on doing serious personal. injury cases including fractures, death, surgery etc.  We have the lowest fees in the industry starting at 25% contingency fees.  We also have a partnership with with one of the larges personal injury firms in the State of California where our daughter Aimee works tha enables us to handle the largest kind of cases in our practice areas.

I have been practicing law for approximately 25 years.  I founded my own family law firm in 1995.   I have devoted my practice exclusively to family law for the past 15 years.  I am currently a Settlement Officer/Mediator for the Los Angeles Superior Court, Central and Southwest Districts.  I am also a fee arbitratoar for the Santa Monica Bar Association.  I was formerly the chair of the Family Law Section for the Santa Monica Bar Association.  I am a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association's and South Bay Bar Association's family law sections.. My practice ranges from uncontested dissolutions to complex dissolutions, including valuation and division of businesses, real estate investments, stock options, child custody, child support, spousal support, domestic violence and restraining orders, prenuptial agreements and mediation.  I have a background in finance and real estate which assists me in my practice.  I am a also a licensed California Real Estate Broker.. I graduated from USC Law School in 1989 in the top ten of my class, as a member of Order of the Coif.   I received my Bachelor of  Science degree from California State University of Northridge in 1985, with a 3.9 grade point average, graduating Summa Cum Laude..

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.

I deliver outstanding legal service to add value for you and your family.  I went to Loyola Law School's evening division, graduated in the Top 30% in 2008, and passed the California Bar the same year.  I retired from the United States Air Force on June 1st, 2015, after serving 20 years.  When I started my law practice, I had one purpose in mind:  help Californians solve their legal issues.

I am an experienced Family Law Attorney.  I have many clients who are Aerospace Professionals, Self-Employed and/or Business Owners.  My focus is on custody issues (including move away issues) and asset valuation and division.

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!
