Family Law

As a California lawyer, I provide legal services in the areas of:

 

  • business law and all business litigation;
  • HOA and real estate law and litigation;
  • family law.

 
My approach to client matters is more practical than theoretical. For example, in HOA matters, I have been an on-site property manager, president of a small association and a director of two other HOAs. As opposed to most lawyers, I am an experienced business executive who has been CEO of a public company with thousands of employees. Thus, I understand business operations in addition to the legal issues which commonly arise. I know, first-hand, the effects of a client's legal matters on the client's business and on the client personally. I think that helps me better serve my client's total needs, not simply their legal needs.
