Biography

I have more than 30 years' experience in zealously representing clients and for more than two decades, my practice has focused on estate planning, trust, and probate law. I am a Certified Specialist in this field by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

Over the past twenty years, I have assisted many families prepare and update their estate plans to achieve their goals of transferring their wealth and taking care of their families. I also assist clients in the post-death administration process, including private trust administrations as well as probate administration through the court system, and I am well-versed on the strategies for obtaining modifications to trusts, even when the trusts have become irrevocable. Finally, I also assist clients in trust and estate litigation matters, advocating for their interests, defending against or prosecuting claims, and successfully seeking to resolve disputes whether through trial, settlement, or mediation.

Clients come to me because I am a well-respected and highly regarded attorney in this field, and am responsive to their inquiries.

I am an honors graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center, an honors graduate of the University of California - Davis. Academic honors include Phi Beta Kappa and Order of the Coif, and I served as Associate Editor of The Georgetown Law Journal. I also served as law clerk to several federal judges in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California.
