I was educated since High School here in the LA area, attending Cleveland High, CSUN and Southwestern University School of Law.  I have been in private practice in the San Fernando Valley since 1985, involved primarily in the litigation of personal injury and related insurance matters.. I have successfully tried to Jury Verdict a number of cases on both sides of a case.  I have settled substantial cases early, through effective use of mediation, saving expense and getting clients compensated, fairly, much more quickly than if litigated for years.. I enjoy working in probate litigation as well.

I have more than 15 years of experience in legal practice, 12 years of which is within the discipline of family law only.

I have been practicinng law for for more than 34 years now.  It is my goal to provide excellent legal services at competitive rates to businesses of all sizes.  In doing so I strive to provide a personal approach in helping businesses deal with legal issues that affect their business such: entity formation (i.e. corporations, LLCs, limited partnerships), contracts, leases, commercial disputes, real property, corporate law, partnerships, employment law and trademarks.  My experience covers not only transactional matters (i.e. drafting of contracts, documents, etc.) but litigation in these areas as well.  I believe that by handling both litigation and transactional matters my experience has provided me with valuable insight into any type of a situation that a business may encounter.  My usual procedure with existing clients is to emphasize means to avoid disputes and/or litigation by taking precautionary procedures, as I have found them to be more cost effective.  However, when litigation cannot be avoided, my office is prepared and experienced enough to assist my clients in bringing about a speedy and successful result.. Clients are regularly advised of the status of their matters by our office as they are always provided with copies of documents.  Itemized billing statements are also provided..

I have always felt that it is MY job to worry the claim or lawsuit from start to finish.  My clients can be concerned about, and interested in their claim or lawsuit, but the worry is MY job.  This makes for the best partnership between lawyer and client, and is one of the most important things a lawyer can give to a client.. Over the course of almost 30 years as a lawyer, I have become not just an advocate, but also a counselor and friend to many of my clients.  Our firm not only gives our clients the best, experienced representation, but also,a chance to recover what "the system" has taken away.
