Professional Experience

I've been practicing law for over twenty years, and I’m proud to have assisted dozens of businesses, entrepreneurs, professionals, and all other good folks working hard to make a living. I truly respect their commitment to their work and to their families. And I am pleased to be part of their business and personal success.

My areas of practice include business law, corporations and LLC’s, real estate, internet law, trademarks and copyrights, probate, collections, and trial litigation. My philosophy: Be happy, work hard, and be proud of the work you do.

My hourly rate is perhaps a bit higher than some other attorneys in the area, but I truly believe I am worth it. In other words, “I know my stuff.” Through my background (UC Berkeley undergraduate, UCLA School of Law, and an MBA from PSU) and my experience (over 20 years), I am able to craft effective solutions to your legal issues. I do take flat fees on certain work, such as setting up corporations, limited liability companies, and simple wills and trusts.

For those clients that have a wealth of experience in the business world, I can understand your business issues pretty quickly. I know how to read a balance sheet, know about cash flow issues, understand marketing channels, and I am able to help you negotiate your way around challenging situations.

And for those clients with less experience in working with lawyers, I do one thing very well. I listen to you.

I try to be accessible to all my clients, colleagues, and friends, whether it be through face-to-face office meetings, by telephone, or through email. The best way to initiate contact with me, or to drop me a line, is through my email address.

I would be pleased to serve as your attorney.
