Former Prosecutor

As a former prosecutor myself (I was a deputy district attorney in multiple California counties), I have first-hand knowledge of what it's like to be in the DA's shoes, to prepare cases with law enforcement and to negotiate with defense counsel. Understanding the behind-the-scene challenges prosecutors face I believe provides me now, as a defense attorney, with an advantage when negotiating with DAs and preparing clients' cases for trial.

Jury Trial Success

Clients who have hired an attorney with a reputation for going to trial, and ideally winning a lot, gain an edge in negotiations with prosecutors and judges based upon their attorney's credibility. With me, I've done dozens of jury trials—and won the vast majority of them, too. Remember, it is risky to hire an attorney who lacks years of real-life jury trial experience and success. That's similar to going into a surgery with a doctor who lacks surgery experience.

Explainer Videos

Personally, when I talk to professionals (like an accountant or doctor), I often wish I had the conversation recorded so I can re-listen to what said to understand better. Based on that, I now offer something very unique—the option to record me or have me record an explainer video that goes over points related to your case. That way, if you don't fully understand something, you can watch it as many times as you like, take notes, get back to me with follow-up questions, and ultimately feel as informed as possible.
