Attorney Information
Overview
I operate an independent law firm in Los Angeles that serves clients in all of Southern California. While I specialize in all types of proceedings, I can still guarantee the best representation for the lowest cost for any kind of case. Saying I offer the best representation might leave you wondering, but there are several aspects to my practice that highlight this statement:
Access: When you call me, I answer the phone. I do not rely on proxies as a buffer between my clients and I. When I represent you, expect the access you deserve.
Experience: With two decades of experience under my belt, I have handled all kinds of cases, from criminal to civil proceedings. I know what success means.
Involvement: Despite my tenure, I never farm out my cases to junior attorneys or other law firms. I handle each aspect of my cases personally.
Advocacy: It is my mission as an advocate to zealously represent your interests to the fullest extent allowed by law. Expect no less from me.
Outcomes: Many law firms advertise their results. With others, their prices. I guarantee the best outcome possible for the lowest cost to you.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
