Major Cases
I deal in transactional work, so no trial stories. However, my clients are public figures so dealing with some of those issues, particularly with social media, copyright law, and licensing are consistently issues I handle. The businesses I represent, thankfully, are not seen in court too often, but are nonetheless exciting ventures.

Personal Background
I am one of nine children, the baby in the family. I have 40 nephews and nieces, and love them all. I grew up in Moorpark, Calif., and Palmdale, Calif., before working and going to school in Los Angeles. Then I moved to San Diego for law in 2008 and I have never looked back. San Diego is paradise.
