I’ve been practicing law in Florida for over 35 years, always staying true to my own approach. I didn’t build my firm around flashy billboards or high-volume cases. Instead, I built it on results, meaningful relationships, and being there when it truly matters.
I started my journey at Tulane, where I played rugby and contributed to the campus newspaper. Later, at Whittier Law School, I worked in an immigration clinic that opened my eyes to how the law impacts people’s lives beyond just policies. That experience shaped the way I handle every case—with clarity, empathy, and a determination to overcome bureaucratic hurdles.
My practice today focuses on personal injury, premises liability, auto accidents, and serious claims that require dedicated advocacy. I also take on select immigration cases for clients who need someone they trust to guide them through a complicated system.
I’ve intentionally kept my practice lean. This allows me to give every case my full attention, provide every client with honest answers, and deliver outcomes that reflect the level of advocacy I’d want for my own family.

- Q. Is a voice recording enough evidence to sue for sexual assault that occurred as a minor?
- A: Yes, the evidence you’ve described may be sufficient to support a sexual assault claim. Under Florida law, anyone under the age of 18 is legally incapable of consenting to sexual activity. Depending on the specific facts, you may have grounds for a lawsuit.
You should speak with an attorney in Florida who handles these cases on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing unless you win. Some of us, myself included, may be willing to take on a case even without insurance coverage, depending on the circumstances.
Keep in mind that most insurance policies include a blanket exclusion for sexual misconduct. That exclusion would likely apply if the assault occurred on property the defendant ... Read More
- Q. Can my grandmother qualify as a joint sponsor for my K-1 visa with her income?
- A: This case is in the gray area. USCIS doesn’t look favorably on a joint sponsor who doesn’t file tax returns and some U.S. Consulates do not accept joint sponsors for K visas. This case can still be approved with a well documented case filing. Finally, once the case is approved, you will still need to have a joint sponsor for the adjustment phase of the case. Work with an attorney to maximize the chances of success.
- Q. Victim of assault seeking pro bono legal representation options.
- A: California offers a Victim Compensation Program through the California Victim Compensation Board (CalVCB), which provides financial assistance to victims of violent crimes such as assault, domestic violence, sexual abuse, and homicide. Eligible individuals may receive help with medical bills, mental health counseling, funeral expenses, income loss, and relocation costs. Applications can be submitted online or through local victim advocates.
