I was admitted to the California State Bar in December of 1988, and worked as a legal secretary 13 years prior to that time. I maintain my office in Santa Clarita, California, and am a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Santa Clarita Valley Bar Association and the San Fernando Valley Bar Association. I am admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court.

Prior to establishing private practice, I was the Managing Attorney for the UAW Legal Service Plan in Van Nuys, California. Legal service plans are somewhat like legal "HMO's" with similar employer-payroll deductions. I am a member of the Hyatt Legal Service Plan and render estate planning services for them.

I pride myself on being a "family lawyer," somewhat like the "family doctor," and work hard to establish a long-term relationship with clients built on trust, availability, and honesty.

I'm a California native, and have been a resident of the Santa Clarita Valley for 31 years. I am a member of the American Association of University Women, the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce, The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys, and Future Business Leaders of America. I am a former Regional Occupational Teacher on the subject of careers in law and have taught an introductory course regarding careers in law for high school and adult students through the William S. Hart Union High School District Regional Occupational Program. I have been a volunteer mediator for the Superior Court seeking to allow litigants to resolve their disputes without the cost of a lengthy trial.
