To better meet the needs of his practice, he moved his office to a new, larger commercial space in Geyserville in 2015.. In addition to his private practice, since 2003, Mr. Villa has served as a Judge Pro Tem for the Sonoma County Superior Court conducting Mandatory Settlement Conferences for cases set for trial.
