I went to law school for one reason – to become a criminal defense attorney. It’s just a natural fit for me. I come from a family of legal minds who engrained in me the thought that it’s “better to free 100 guilty men than to let 1 innocent man lose his freedom.” With that in mind, I always fight as hard as I can for every one of my clients. It’s what we all deserve.
I began my legal career as a solo-practicing attorney, handling cases in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Throughout my years of practice, I’ve represented clients in cases ranging from various types of misdemeanors to serious felonies. What I’ve learned to value most is the opportunity to guide clients through challenging times.
