Biography

Having spent over 20 years working in the legal field, I’ve learned the operational and client side of practicing law. That is why I choose to break away from cookie-cutter legal answers. Utilizing my in-depth understanding of business and real estate transactional needs, I guide clients to unique, practical and customized legal solutions. Drawing from a range of personal and professional experiences, I put clients first and give them individualized attention. Acting as their general counsel, I assist clients in their real estate, business, and contract needs.

My professional practice has given me a broad scope of experience to be able to assist clients in a variety of real estate and business transactional matters, ensuring the end result meets their business and personal goals. Working with clients on matters ranging from buying and selling real estate, to lease negotiation and preparation, to operational and entitlement issues, to business formation and operational procedures, to financing and dispute resolution. Having run a small business myself, I tie that personal experience with my legal knowledge to work with clients through their business and personal needs.

A native of San Diego, I spend time with my daughter and cats and enjoying the outdoor activities San Diego has to offer.
