As long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be an attorney. Some people find that odd since typically the word attorney does not convey positive thoughts. Attorneys are often portrayed as aggressive, deceitful, opportunistic, and focused only on money. That’s not who I am, and that’s not my motivation to practice law. I was fortunate to grow up in a family that taught me strong values and the benefits of hard work. My motivation to practice law is to help others overcome challenges in their lives and to protect their hard-earned property and assets. Sometimes these challenges require legal advice and direction, and that’s where I can help.. I am a life-long resident of Placer County. I graduated from Whitney High School and earned my undergraduate degree at UC Davis. I received my Juris Doctorate from the University of Pacific McGeorge School of Law and passed the California State Bar Exam. My law firm is located in Placer County and my goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of the members of my community. I bring a unique perspective as a person with empathy who will listen to you and endeavor to understand your situation. As a female attorney, I also offer the opportunity to provide legal help to clients who are more comfortable working with a woman. You will not feel intimidated by me, nor pressured or ignored. I want you to be comfortable – yet assured that your legal needs will be addressed and professionally administered. I began Your Property Law Firm with the goal of providing a unique personal experience for my clients. I hope you agree that I have accomplished that.
