Am I the Right Attorney for You?

I offer clients a unique perspective. At the start of my law career, I worked at BARBRI as an Academic Staff Attorney and helped law students and lawyers admitted in other jurisdictions prepare for and pass the California Bar exam. My career then zigged and zagged over the years. I’ve practiced law both in-house and in law firms. I’ve lived abroad and I’ve moved from one side of the country to the other and back again.

Along the way, an opportunity came along to help lawyers under investigation or charged with misconduct by the State Bar. At the beginning, the discipline process was a complete mystery to me and the work was fascinating. The more I learned about the discipline process, however, the more I realized that no lawyer should face it alone or, at least, not without the right information to defend oneself.

It turns out that all of my zigging and zagging over the years has led me full circle (funny how that works sometimes, isn’t it?). I know the work you put in to get your license. I understand that, in law practice, sometimes things go sideways despite your best efforts and I know the State Bar’s discipline process. The investigation stage is the best opportunity to tell your side of the story and resolve a matter before it becomes public. My job isn’t to judge what happened. It’s to tell your story in a way that’s favorable to you but also truthful. My goal is to help you keep that hard earned bar license.
