I came to California to study law at the University of Santa Clara, not realizing I would stay.  After law school, I practiced in San Jose at a medium sized, commercial litigation firm for 3 years, and then moved to Santa Rosa, where I have lived and practiced law since 1990.  I love the wine country, with all of its beauty and culture.  The food and wine are unbeatable.  I feel privileged to practice law and raise a family in an area that is so beautiful.. When I went to law school, I thought I would become a prosecutor of crimes, a District Attorney.  Instead, I fell in love with personal injury work while working as a law clerk for Joe Carcione on the Peninsula.  So now I prosecute personal injury claims.  I love my work!. I have taken many cases to trial, when I've had no choice; but of course more than 95% of my cases do settle without trial.   I believe strongly that potential clients should hire only personal injury attorneys who are willing to try cases, and who have tried cases, preferably to verdict.  My two cents, as they say.

I began working at small, longstanding Sonoma County criminal defense office in 2002 when I was only sixteen.  Since I can remember, I had dreamed of becoming a criminal defense attorney and wanted to protect individual’s rights while making a stand for justice.  I eventually finished my undergraduate schooling and while continuing to work closely with several established attorneys, I started law school.  Growing up in a criminal defense law office allowed me to learn the ins and outs of criminal law, both in theory and in practical application.. I was certified as a law clerk with the California State Bar in 2008, which enabled me to start practicing law under supervision.  I graduated law school in 2010 and was awarded the Witkin Award for Academic Excellence.  I passed my bar on my first attempt and was then  I was admitted to the State Bar of California in early 2011.. I advanced to a successful practicing attorney while working for that same law office, and then following several years of experience, education, and training in that setting, I opened my own law office in Santa Rosa dedicated to intelligent and zealous criminal defense advocacy, and focused on providing excellent legal services to clients.. Since being admitted to the bar, I have successfully handled hundreds of felony and misdemeanor cases of all sorts, and for all sorts of clients.  I am particularly versed in the realm of DUIs and medical marijuana laws.  I have worked on cases ranging from simple offenses to attempted homicides, sex offenses, complex drug cases, and environmental law cases.

I am an experienced criminal defense attorney at your service to handle the most difficult criminal matters.  It is my belief that the best defense is through early, aggressive action and my record of results more than supports this concept.  If we cannot get the deal we want from the state, I am more than happy to let the jury decide and fight every step of the way.
