I have been practicing in Nevada County since 1982. I feel that everyone needs a strong defense and should not face the system alone.

Before taking the plunge into law school and the practice of law, I worked in the Kern County District Attorney’s Office, Bureau of Investigation, Kern County Employees’ Retirement Association (KCERA) and ran a successful termite...
