Attorney Information
Overview
As a first-generation American, I know firsthand that the legal system in this country is not always fair — especially to people of color, and especially to people whose first language is not English.
My parents immigrated from Mexico and Argentina, and growing up, I saw countless friends and family members not pursue cases because they were afraid and didn’t know their rights. The ones who did try to file a lawsuit were unable to find a lawyer who actually communicated with them in a way they could understand.
I went to law school wanting to help underprivileged individuals navigate the legal system in this country.
Along the way I had the opportunity to work for a boutique defense firm and gain invaluable insight and knowledge in evaluating cases from the insurance company viewpoint — an experience that equipped me with the unique perspective on how to maximize recovery for my clients.
However, I knew I didn’t want to defend insurance companies long-term.
So I learned everything I could about their tactics, and then I set off to start my own firm: a firm that would defend people against them. Especially the people who need help the most.
I aim to break down the barriers to the U.S. justice system so that everyone, especially immigrants, knows that they have rights and deserve justice.
I want my clients to have a lawyer they can trust — without using legal jargon or speaking over their head — and keeping them informed every step of the way.
I do this by listening and understanding each of my clients and their problems, communicating with my clients clearly and openly, and always fighting for what’s right.
I share my life with my husband, Jeff, my ride or die since 2010. We have two young daughters and two big Siberian cats. In my free time, I spend as much time as I can outdoors, working out on my Peloton, and watching true crime documentaries.

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.
