I’ve practiced law 41 years. I’m old school. Law is not just a job, or even just a career, it’s about being of service to individuals and to society. That said, I’m also an outlier, in that I see both sides of things, and use my “EQ” (people skill set snd knowledge of what makes people tick) also. I've conducted legal education and founded a collaborative law group. My publications are read daily on Academia.

Since 2011, I have been dedicated to practicing in the areas of Family Law, Estate Planning, and Probate. I am a fervent advocate for my clients, always striving to achieve the most favorable outcomes for them. I am actively involved in the legal community as a member of the Pasadena Bar Association, Los Angeles County Bar Association, and the Beverly Hills Bar Association.
