Workers' compensation attorney · Orange County · California Bar 1995
I’m a veteran attorney with over 30 years of legal experience, and I fight for my clients. I care deeply about every case I take, and as a boutique firm we deliver first-class service from the first call to final resolution.
I was admitted to the California Bar in 1995, and since 2011 I’ve focused exclusively on workers’ compensation. I’m an active CAAA member and a fluent-Spanish-speaking advocate based here in Orange County.
