I am a Bay Area native and enjoy working in the community in which I grew up. I recognize that although a case may not be my first, it's often my client's first interaction with the legal system and it can be daunting. The whole process looks intimidating from the outside and my goal is to make my clients feel comfortable with the process and know that they have an advocate with them through the whole process. When I am not working I spend most of my time with my family, participating in a long standing book club and working out to clear my mind.
