Practice Areas: Education

When I embarked upon my legal career, being a special education attorney was not initially on the radar. I did not have one clue that special education law was even a thing! I quickly learned! I specialized in criminal defense for almost a decade, including juvenile defense, and looking back, I realized how many kids unidentified with disabilities were improperly prosecuted and blamed for acts rooted in disability, rather than criminal or mischievous intent, when suddenly I was taken on an involuntary journey that changed the trajectory of my life and ultimately my career.. At six weeks old, my eldest son, Brandon, was diagnosed with a congenital brain disorder, Focal Cortical Dysplasia, a malformation causing catastrophic seizures, Infantile Spasms, detrimentally impacting his physical and intellectual development. Initially, I was paralyzed with fear and unsure as to which direction to take, but after grieving what was essentially the death of the child I had dreamed of, I then began the process of reorienting the course of our lives, with the goal of meeting my son's every need taking center stage.. As I am sure all parents of special needs children do, I spent countless sleepless nights staring at the ceiling at 2:00 a.m. in search for answers. Paving the way to effectively help my child in every way I could permeated my every thought. I immersed myself in learning everything I could about the brain, special education advocacy, and whatever services existed to help my son conquer his disability to the maximum extent possible. I effectively fought the school district, ultimately winning the battle to fully include him, and later applied my personal experience and learned valuable lessons with the same commitment and vigor to the re-shifting of my career. The representation of children with disabilities and the assurance of their meaningful inclusion is more than my job, it is my mission.. In my journey with my son, the change of my professional course suddenly became inevitable when I came across so many helpless and desperate parents that were unsure how to access the proper services for their children. They were unaware and uneducated about the special education system and its very complicated and entangled inner workings. The reality was, and continues to be, that parents are not often given all of the correct information or informed about the available and proper tools by their school districts. Districts are too often not candid about the various types of support and services that can and should be offered. Unfortunately, often the services offered your child are based on a cost/benefit analysis, and one that does not first and foremost consider your child's best interest.. I crossed paths with parents eager to help their children but were given misinformation time after time. When I learned how easily special education children can fall through the cracks because they are not treated as the law so clearly mandates, I inevitably and almost organically realized my calling, and although I had embarked on the road to special education law long before on a personal level, I decided to do so officially, and I started my own law practice in 2009. So I became a special education attorney, in the most important and rewarding path of my life. I knew that what I did and continue to do for my son to ensure his utmost success and best life, I could do for the children of no shortage of families in need, and I knew these families could relate to my experience and draw benefit and comfort from it. So I set out to help as many parents as I encountered whose desire to help their children was, and is, as insatiable as mine.. Sometimes the barriers we face seem unconquerable, but the deep love for our extra special children and the desire to see them succeed is our primary motivating force for anything that we do. It is not easy, but it is a fight worth fighting, and one you should not continue to fight alone when your efforts appear fruitless with the continued neglect of Districts to take proper measures to help your boy or girl. Know that with the proper support and tools, the right education for children with disabilities is possible, with the ultimate goal of a fulfilling and independent life to the maximum extent possible.. Allow me to share with you the wealth of knowledge and information that I have acquired along the way of this life-transforming, beautiful, and heart-wrenching journey. Below I share with you some very helpful pointers that I believe are imperative elements for parents to apply in special education advocacy.. The biggest and most important piece of advice I can offer you is to BELIEVE IN YOUR CHILD, no matter what the diagnosis, disability, or challenge he or she is facing. You must set a high standard and believe that your child can accomplish more than anyone thinks possible. If you give up on your child and start the process with low expectations, then everyone gives up on your child. As difficult as it sometimes is, your mindset must be one of eternal optimism. Believe that your child is going to be very capable of achievements, despite what therapists, doctors, and especially school officials tell you. Set that accomplishment bar very high and keep it steady!. The school administrators, mediators, and Administrative Law Judges must first see your child, not his or her diagnosis or disability, and that is up to you to show them. When the school district is telling you that there is no funding, specific classrooms, or personnel services available to help your child, and when you hear, which I promise you will, "We don't do that," do not believe it and do not accept it. It is not a matter of "we don't," it is a matter of "you must" if it meets the individual needs of your child. Your strong belief that your child can be successful as long as these services are provided is what will keep you determined to fight for them.. It is the resilient and relentless will of parents that yields success in meeting their children’s unique academic needs. We are here to help you navigate that daunting and complex maze. Remember, there is no greater inequality than the equal treatment of non-equals.

Practice Areas: Workers Compensation

Making a difference in the lives of people who need help has always been what I have sought to do, both as a lawyer and in the community.  Being able to calm the fears of clients who are feeling especially vulnerable after a serious work injury, and offer them solutions and hope, is something that I take pride in being able to do.  I take the time to listen to my clients and make sure I understand their situations.  I do my best to explain the strange and complicated world of California workers' compensation law in ways that they can understand. I have been certified as a specialist in workers' compensation law by the State Bar of California from 2004 through 2023.. I feel truly blessed to be able to do the kind of work I love and can get real satisfaction from doing.  I feel an obligation to give back to the community, and have therefore given my time to serve as an officer and president of a parent teacher organization, coach youth soccer, and sit as a workers' compensation judge pro tem.  I also spend quite a bit of time answering questions from injured workers here on AVVO, and offering advice to colleagues on professional websites.. I have always believed that lawyers should not take cases unless they honestly believe that they can make a positive difference in the outcome of the case for the client.  There is no reason for someone to pay an attorney a fee if they would end up with the same result without having a lawyer.  If you come see me for a free consultation, and I do not think I can make things better for you, I will always tell you so.

Practice Areas: Patent Application

We are a group of patent professionals who have previously worked as engineers, scientists, and software developers. Our scientific and engineering background is key to understanding cutting edge technologies and creates distinctive benefits not found with a traditional law firm. From the beginning, our goal was to improve efficiency of the day-to-day operations of the firm by separating the creative process from the mundane. This efficiency enables lower overhead costs and greater value to our clients. Our highly customizable docketing system streamlines patent drafting and prosecution by automating routine docketing and reporting processes. This allows a smaller team of professionals to develop and manage large patent portfolios while maintaining low overhead. In fact, when some of the companies we have worked with have been acquired by big tech companies such as Google and Snap, they asked us to stay on and keep developing the patent portfolios they acquired.
