In times of need you want somebody who has been "mellowed by years and seasoned by experiences" on your side. Someone who can emphatize and relate with you (not just talk) and after they get your fees, you can't have access to them anymore.. I can relate with my clients because I started my law practice after a a number of real-life experiences. I worked as Security Guard, Fireman, Sworn Police Officer, Military Officer (2nd Lieutenant), Car Salesman, Insurance Salesman, Nurse's Aide, Mailman, Mail Handler, Notary Public, Real Estate Agent and Broker, Investor, Landlord, Tenant, Franchisor, Teacher and Trainer, and now Licensed California Attorney. I've traded "punches and real bullets" in my past careers-I'll be sure to "return the shot" on your behalf.. Medals, Citations, Awards, and Diplomas I have a lot of those but my accomplishment is nothing if I CAN'T HELP YOU.. My practice is guided by the principle that we will "HELP YOU TIP THE BALANCE OF JUSTICE IN YOUR FAVOR". Although we DO NOT guarantee result, we will assure you that the service we provide is "SECOND TO NONE-ALWAYS NUMBER ONE". In short, the most valuable service for the money you invested in your case (such as; FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION or even as simple as answering most and/or returning your calls promptly).

I have been practicing family law in the South Bay for over 20 years and have a vast amount of experience in litigation, negotiations, counseling and mediation.  There are many approaches that can be pursued in family law cases and the manner in which a client and his/her lawyer decide to litigate the case is critical to the outcome.  I take the time to provide my clients with all of the information they need to make informed decisions in all aspects of their case, including setting goals and formulating a strategy to achieve the best results.

After going through my own divorce in my early-20s at the Torrance courthouse, I went to law school, became an attorney, and I immediately established a family law office in Torrance to guide other families in their familial breakups. After 10 years of grueling court battles, and after I became a parent to young children, I made a conscientious decision to step away from the courtroom and work with families using mediation and collaborative divorce principles of conflict resolution. I counsel clients about the benefits of mediation and collaborative approaches so they may understand the legal framework and begin to start making cohesive and informed decisions about their children, property, and lives.. In situations in which the family intentionally stays out of court, the end result of the case is typically less stressful, more cost-effective, more quickly resolved, and the family’s privacy can be maintained. I whole-heartedly endorse principles of collaborative divorce and mediation for families whose shared goal is to stay out of court, keep attorney’s fees low, manage the trauma of the breakup in a healthy ways, and preserve and strengthen the family bonds.. I am a member of A Better Divorce, Los Angeles Collaborative Family Law Association, Collaborative Practice California (CP Cal), International Association of Collaborative Professionals (IACP), and Bruin Professionals. I volunteer as the Family Law Chair of the Board of Directors for the South Bay Bar Association.
