I love living and practicing law in Sonoma County! I have been practicing law since 2002. I grew up in Novato, CA and attended Santa Rosa J.C. then transferred to Arizona State University studying English and Political Science for upper division and then staying for law school, but I always knew I would return to the Bay Area after law school. I enjoy all aspects of litigation, but my favorite part of practicing law is the research and writing. I enjoy exploring Sonoma County and Northern California with my husband Steve. I love traveling near and far when I can (trying to get at least a few days of Snowboarding in each season), but also enjoy weekends at home with movies or a good book.

I knew my passion was criminal law from my first day of law school. I was able to intern with the Sonoma County Public Defenders Office for three years during school which only cemented my desire to continue helping those in need. I understand the stress and concern that comes with facing criminal charges. I know the courtrooms, I know the process and I know that I can help you. Don't waste time, contact me today so that I can begin protecting your rights.

I have spent my entire legal career as a criminal defense attorney.  I have tried a multitude of murder cases, including two death penalty trials.  My practice is mostly in felony defense, with a special emphasis on drug and marijuana cases.  We also have a proven record in successfully defending misdemeanor charges, including D.U.I. cases.

I have been practicing bankruptcy law and social security law since 2008.  I have helped hundreds of families, individuals, and businesses by representing them in bankruptcy proceedings.  Bankruptcy law is one of the most challenging and at the same time rewarding areas law an attorney can practice.. When I am not working I am usualy enjoyning all that Sonoma and Marin have to offer.  I enjoy golfing at the local courses, going to the coast, or trying new restuarants.  I am an active member of Santa Rosa West Rotary Club, and I am on the board of directors for the Sonoma County Bar Association.

I have been helping entrepreneurs realize their dreams for over 30 years.  I enjoy working with business owners, whether it is to start up a new business or to improve a long existing business.  I can help you to plan your new business entity, and provide personal legal advice concerning the best way to structure your business.  I can also advise you regarding how to protect yourself from liability as a business owner by creating a Limited Liability Company or Corporate entity for your business.   I work with business owners to settle disputes that may arise between them.  I regularly nandle all legal issues as general outside counsel for many of my business clients.  I enjoy working regularly with the same clients, and helping you grow your business!

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.
