One of the area's top criminal defense and DUI attorneys who won the landmark breathalyzer case upheld by the CA Supreme Court Team includes Harvard Attorney, Former DA and Certified Criminal Law Specialist. Immigration law expert to help non-citizen clients charged with a crime. 2019 Super Lawyer, A+ BBB and 10/10 Superb rating on Avvo.. I care about my clients.  Gerry Spence, the greatest living trial lawyer, teaches that we have to love our clients just to stand a fighting chance in a justice system that offers little justice.  If we don't care about our clients, why would a judge or jurors care about them.  Fortunately, you can always find something to love in everyone.. I have to thank Gerry and all of the faculty of the Trial Lawyers College for establishing and growing the only institution that really trains you to be as good as you can be; it is their training that has made me as effective as I am, and I strive to get better and better.. I have often described defending a person against the vast machine we call "The People" is like beating your head against a wall until something breaks.  More often than you'd think, it turns out to be the wall.

I love my work as an attorney.  I meet courageous people who have suffered tragic losses and want to stand up to the big companies who are responsible for their losses.  I am fortunate to help them seek the compensation they deserve.  Together we try to make our community a safer place.    A safe community is important to me as a mother.   When I'm not working I am scurrying to get to my daughters' various sporting and dance activities.  As a family, we enjoy bike rides, hiking, and movie nights at home.

I am a true believer and knew since I was fourteen years old that I wanted to be a criminal defense attorney.  I believe that the American Justice system is the best in the world - mainly because it allows defense attorneys such lattitude to establish reasonable doubt.  I have handled thousands of criminal cases over the past 10 years and have conducted hundreds of preliminary hearings as well as countless motions and other sorts of litigation.  I belive that the only way to practice criminal defense is to be "in the trenches" with my client.

I am a California State Bar Certified Specialist in Workers' Compensation Law, the only one in Redwood City as of 6/24/14.  I have been practicing this law for 30 years.  I am also on the Labor Commitee of the California Applicant's Attorney's Association, the organization for California Workers' Compensation Atttornies.  I have published articles in CAAMents, the CAAA house magazine, getMedlegal Magazine and many other publications over time.. Before becoming a lawyer, I worked for the AFL-CIO for 10 years in a variety of capacities organizing the Frontlash voter registration project from the San Francisco Labor Council, union and political organizer, a stint on the Hubert Humphrey campaign for President and running a project to promote traning programs and job placement for the disadvantaged.. I started my law practice in San Francisco in 1984 and moved it to Redwood City in 1996.. For relaxation, I perform on the guitar and vocals at the San Gregorio Store and other venues and I surf.

Ever since I was a kid I always rooted for the underdog. Just because one side has the power, money and influence doesn’t mean they should get their way. The law is supposed to treat all people equally, however, it often doesn’t unless you have a strong advocate on your side. I represent regular people in cases against insurance companies and thier employers. These are entities with nearly unlimited resources, power and influence. Injured workers often do not know how to navigate a complex insurance bureaucracy that is designed to limit care, costs and compensation so the employer saves money and insurance companies make a profit. People in these scenarios should never go it alone. I fight for regular people who find themselves in difficult if not impossible situations. I have devoted my career to helping the little guy succeed. At my office I tailor a legal strategy for each individual client--there is no one size fits all approach. I fight tirelessly so that my clients receive every benefit and protection available by law. Let ME work for YOU.

After spending 6 years representing insurance companies, I decided that I wanted to start making a real difference in the lives of injured workers. The Workers Compensation system is unfortunately very complicated and has become nearly unmanagable for an injured worker to naviagate on their own. This leads to people missing out on benefits owed to them and unnecessary stress added to an already stressful situation.. I want to relieve your burden so you can concentration on what is important, getting as healthy as possible. By allowing me to deal with the headaches of the system, it frees your time and energy to recovery. Once you can do that you can rest easy knowing your case will maximize your recovery and the money owed to you for your injury.
