Biography

I am an experienced and skilled California Labor and Employment attorney. I protect the rights and interests of employers worldwide, in industries such as banking, health care, hospitality, retail, and transportation.

With 35 years of experience, I represent clients with responsiveness, determination and focus. I am dedicated to providing exceptional service and legal representation.
