About
Fighting for the indigent and those criminally charged by government prosecutors diligently and aggressively for over 10 years. As a legal aid attorney, deputy public defender, and private criminal defense attorney, I have always been on your side. With my experience, knowledge, and tenacity I push to get results.
I have defended almost every type of criminal case, including driving under the influence, theft, fraud, three strikes, sex crimes, domestic violence, gang cases, and homicides. I have handled thousands of criminal cases in all stages of proceedings including arraignment, preliminary hearings, and trials. I published articles relating to the ethics of law clerks and private right of action against law enforcement.
I have obtained jury acquittals on cases carrying life sentences and have reduced cases from prison time to probation sentences and felony cases to misdemeanors.
I have received commendations from peers and clients alike. In 2014 and 2013 I was chosen as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers, in 2011 I was voted as best attorney for the city of Glendale by Glendale News-Press readers, and in 2008, I was awarded Misdemeanor Attorney of the Year for a County Public Defender’s office.
