My main focus is to bring the knowledge and know-how when it comes to Personal Injury and Probate Law.

Before attending law school, I attended the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and completed a bachelor's degree in History.

This experience gives Oliver the ability to empathize and understand his clients in a way that allows him to obtain maximum results.
