Biography:
I have been a practicing attorney since May of 2011. Prior to attending law school, I was a family law paralegal for approximately 20 years. For several years before becoming an attorney, I assisted couples through uncontested divorces as a paralegal and document preparation assistance. After establishing my own practice, I used all my skills and knowledge to develop my family law practice.
The focus of my practice is to assist families in their life transitions and growth. I have had extensive work in Divorce and Child Custody Litigation in addition to mediation and collaborative divorce. My office focuses solely on family law matters ranging from paternity actions, divorces, child custody & visitation, child and spousal support and property division. My office also focuses on guardianships and conservatorship. I am also trained as minor’s counsel and is on the court approved list of minor’s counsel in Orange County and Los Angeles County.
My office handles collaborative family law, divorce mediation and uncontested divorces, mediation of paternity, child custody, guardianship, conservatorship matters.
