I was born and raised in the San Fernando Valley (and some years in Simi Valley) in sunny Southern California.  I graduated high school valedictorian and attended the University of Redlands on an academic scholarship.  After getting a double major in philosophy and psychology, I moved back to the San Fernando Valley and worked as an escrow officer for a few years while saving money for law school.  I then attended King Hall School of Law at U.C. Davis (named after Martin Luther King, Jr.).  I graduated in 1997 with the highest academic honor, Order of the Coif (top 10% of class).. While in law school, I was a judicial extern for the Hon. Garland E. Burrell, Jr., federal district judge in Sacramento, who was at the time presiding over the infamous "Unabomber" case.  I also spent three months as a law clerk for the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing at its office in downtown Los Angeles.. After law school, I accepted a position in the litigation department of the largest law firm in Nevada, and relocated to Las Vegas.  After six years, I left that firm to return to Southern California, working as a litigator at firms in Sherman Oaks, Woodland Hills, and Oxnard.. For years, my practice has been limited to representing employees in employment disputes which include claims for discrimination, harassment (including, but not limited to, sexual harassment), retaliation, whistleblower retaliation, wage/hour violations and other labor law claims.  Basically, if an employee's rights have been violated, and the employee has a legal claim, I probably handle that type of claim.  I provide free consultations and take cases on contingency (no fee unless you get a recovery).
