I have 13 years of criminal law experience.  The first 2.5 years of my career, I was a City Prosecutor.  Subsequently, in December 2007, I joined the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.  There I served as a Deputy District Attorney for 10 years.  Having been on one side of the law for the majority of my legal career, I have the benefit of having knowledge on what it takes to build and prove a case.  I know what to look for, how to identify and overcome challenges.  I love what I do, because I feel that people deserve to be heard and given a fair chance.
