Practice Areas: Family

I grew up in Beverly Hills where I attended El Rodeo elementary school and Beverly Hills High School. I received my undergraduate degree from George Washington University before earning my Juris Doctorate from Southwestern Law School. Today, I reside in West Hollywood where I am proud to have established deep roots within the local community.. It was during my first year of law school in 2005 when I developed a keen interest in family law. While working at the American University Civil Practice Clinic as a student attorney, I was responsible for assisting low-income clients with a wide variety of family law issues, including divorce, custody litigation, and child support. I continued to work solely in the family law field throughout the duration of my time in law school, assisting with the day-to-day operations of a small Los Angeles family law firm where I was also responsible for meeting with clients and drafting motions.. Upon graduating law school and being admitted to the California Bar in 2009, I continued to work at this same Los Angeles firm, practicing family law as an associate attorney. In spite of my associate status, I was given my own caseload, and managed each of my cases from Petition to Judgment. This included both preparing for and attending trials as well as drafting Judgments. In 2013, I joined the preeminent Los Angeles female-owned family law firm, Meyer, Olson, Lowy & Meyers (MOLM) as an associate attorney where I continued to manage my own complex family law caseload as well as provide assistance to the partners in family law litigation involving international disputes, jurisdictional issues, high-asset property division, complex custody litigation, and division of community estates.. It is through this experience that I have gained a very deep understanding of the complexity of family matters, often working closely with forensic accountants on complex financial issues including business valuations; support calculations, and various other financial matters. Working closely with mental health professionals, I’ve gained firsthand experience with issues related to custody; including custody evaluations, drafting parenting plans, determining a child's developmental needs, and advanced co-parenting strategies.
