About
I was born in Long Beach, raised in Inglewood, and am a proud 2nd generation UCLA graduate. When I decided to pursue a career in the legal profession, it was with the sole intention of becoming a criminal defense attorney. Over fifteen years (and hundreds of clients) later, I am just as passionate about what I do.
In addition to my work-life, I am most proud to be a "Mommy" to two outstanding little boys, wife, daughter, and President of a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that focuses on stroke prevention.

What’s My Process
A clear, step-by-step approach to handling your case with confidence.
01
Consultation
I review the notes that were provided at intake before contacting the client so that I am somewhat familiar with the facts of their case
02
Case Review
I contact the client to discuss the facts in greater detail. I answer any additional questions or concerns that they may have, and I ask additional questions based on our conversation
03
Strategy
Once I obtain reports, I review the report and provide a copy to the client for review. I typically subpoena video almost immediately after receiving the report, unless it is in client's best interest not to do so. After obtaining the video I review the video with client to see if it is helpful to the case.
04
Resolution
Ultimately, once I have the necessary evidence, I evaluate the case to file any relevant motions, negotiate the best resolution, and if necessary, set the case for trial.

Top Questions Clients Ask Me
Providing legal representation across the following California counties.
Will I lose my license?
Depending on the type of case, you may lose your driving privileges for a period of time. However, I will do all that I can to help you preserve your driving privileges through both the DMV hearing and the court proceedings. In the event that we cannot do both, it is best that you are aware of your options regarding obtaining a Restricted License.
I was told to Refuse all tests. What will happen to my license?
The law requires that you submit to a chemical test of blood or breath (or urine) when requested to do so by a peace officer once you a placed under arrest for suspicion of DUI. If you refuse to do so, the DMV will suspend your license for 1, 2, or 3 years and you will not be eligible to obtain a restricted license during that suspension period. That is why, especially for Refusal hearings, it is incredibly important that you hire experienced legal counsel to review all of the evidence prior to your DMV hearing. The attorneys in my office have an impressive track record when it comes to Refusal hearings.
Am I going to jail?
Of course, I am going to do everything in my power to resolve your case in a manner that does not involve you spending time in custody. However, the reality is that you hired me because you are facing either misdemeanor or felony charges, which by definition carry the possibility of jail time.
My case was not filed on the Notice to Appear date. Is my case dismissed?
No. It is not unusual for cases to be filed later than the date written on your citation. Prosecutors typically have up to one year to file misdemeanor charges and up to three years on most felonies. There are specific charges (i.e. sex assaults, murder) that carry longer or even indefinite statutes of limitations. If a case is filed against you within the statutory time period, you may be notified via letter.
Do I have to come to court?
On misdemeanor cases, you will only need to come to court when I ask you to come to court or if I inform you that the judge has specifically ordered you to come to court. On felony cases, you must always appear in court anytime your case is in court.
