I have had my own civil litigation practice since 1980, with emphasis in:
- Employment Law
- Employment Discrimination
- Sexual
Harassment
- Disability Discrimination
- FMLA
- Pregnancy Discrimination
- Wage & Hour
- Whistleblowing
- Wrongful Termination
- Personal Injury
- Contracts
My experience includes
jury and non jury trials, arbitrations and mediations. I have also
served as an arbitrator in 20 cases.
The law is a good deal more than a source of livelihood. I was
trained to regard the law as a profession, requiring uncompromised
dedication to the needs of the client. You have to work hard. You have to
be aggressive. But that does not mean it all has to be cloaked in mystery.
I strive to help my clients understand the workings, as well as the spirit, of
the law. My experience has taught me that an informed client is the real
key to positive results. My goals are to be able to serve the needs of the
client.
I earned my Juris Doctorate at Loyola School of Law and have been
a member of the California State Bar since 1979.
I also received a Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics at the University
of Minnesota. Following my graduation from college, I worked as a
programmer, systems analyst and senior engineer for a variety of
aerospace companies.
