Personal Injury (Transactional/Litigation)
Irvine, California
Personal Introduction
I was admitted to the California Bar in 2008, and before becoming an accident attorney, I began my career as a defense lawyer representing large corporations. Although I was very successful in the corporate law arena, I grew to feel that the human element was missing from my work, so I made a drastic change to plaintiff’s personal injury law. Since then, I have devoted my heart and soul to representing seriously injured victims of car crashes, truck wrecks, dog bites, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other accident victims who truly need my help, rather than deep-pocketed companies that are simply looking to protect their reputations and wallets. Of course, my background on the defense side is now my secret weapon, and more often than not in a mediation or settlement discussion, I leverage my vast knowledge of the defense’s motivations and weaknesses to get my clients the high-value personal injury settlements they deserve. I am renowned for my compassionate and friendly approach towards my clients, and my goal is always to answer every question a client poses in a helpful and respectful manner – it is never to end a call or a meeting as fast as possible. My human approach to client relations has earned me many glowing testimonials, and I have also been awarded the prestigious Avvo Clients’ Choice Award for my consistently high ratings among clients. My undergraduate education was at UC Riverside, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. Following this, I earned my Juris Doctor at the Whittier College School of Law in Orange County, where I participated in numerous regional mock trial competitions with great success. Since obtaining my law degree, I have made it my mission to serve the local community through charity work, including contributions to the International Society for Children with Cancer. I currently reside in Irvine, and I am an avid car buff and motorcycle rider. These pursuits help me to connect with victims of auto and motorcycle accidents, which I passionately represent in my practice.

Practice Summary
In my legal practice, I specialize in a range of personal injury cases that primarily include car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall incidents, dog bites, and wrongful death cases. Each of these areas requires a deep understanding of the specific laws and nuances involved: Car and Motorcycle Accidents: I represent clients who have been severely injured in vehicular accidents. This involves thorough investigations to establish liability, negotiating with insurance companies, and advocating for just compensation for damages and injuries sustained. Slip and Fall Accidents: These cases often occur on property that has not been properly maintained. My role is to prove negligence by the property owner and secure settlements that cover medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering for my clients. Dog Bites: I handle cases involving injuries from dog attacks, which can often be traumatic and severe. These cases require a clear understanding of local and state laws regarding pet owner responsibilities and liability. Wrongful Death: I provide compassionate legal services to families who have lost loved ones due to the negligence or misconduct of others. My focus is on ensuring that families receive compensation for their immense losses, including funeral costs, lost future earnings, and loss of companionship. In each of these areas, my goal is to ensure that my clients receive the maximum compensation possible, while also providing them with the understanding and support they need during challenging times. My background in defense gives me unique insights into the strategies employed by opposing counsel, which I leverage to the advantage of my clients.

Personal Interests & Charitable Work
Outside of the courtroom, I indulge in my passion for cars, immersing myself in the vibrant culture of automotive enthusiasts. My love for the arts also plays a significant role in my life, as I frequently attend theater productions, movie screenings, and concerts, cherishing the creativity and expression found in these venues. Complementing these interests, I am deeply committed to giving back to the community. I devote time to volunteering at homeless shelters and mentoring young individuals, striving to make a positive impact through guidance and support in mentorship programs. These pursuits not only enrich my personal life but also enhance my ability to connect and empathize with the diverse needs of the people I serve professionally.
