Practice Summary
Prior to joining Davidovich Stein Law Group LLC, I worked at Lewis & Llewellyn LLP, a boutique litigation firm where I represented clients in matters including trade secret protection, breach of contract, unfair business practices, employment disputes, and real estate construction. Previous to that position, I practiced as an associate at Loeb & Loeb LLP where I represented corporations and high net-worth entities in aerospace, bankruptcy, securities, environmental, and entertainment matters. My experience also includes representing Fortune 100 companies and governmental entities in high-stakes and high-profile legal matters. I am an alumnus of the United States Air Force Academy, where I majored in Legal Studies with a Computer Science minor. Prior to attending law school, I obtained my M.B.A. from Trident University International, graduating summa cum laude while serving as a member of the armed forces. I received my Juris Doctor from the UCLA School of Law, where I specialized in business law and served as a member of the Dean’s Student Advisory Council, President of the Veterans Law Society, and Executive Board Member of the Jewish Law Students Association. While in law school, I externed with the Honorable Ronald S.W. Lew in the Central District of California, NuMedia Studios, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Enforcement Division and Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations. Before becoming an attorney, I served in the U.S. Air Force as an F-15 fighter pilot. I flew over 1,500 hours in the F-15, some of which was combat time in Operation Enduring Freedom over Afghanistan eventually earning the title of instructor pilot. Since leaving active duty in 2016, I have served in the U.S. Air Force Reserve, currently holding the title of Senior Air Defense Officer for the 701st Combat Operations Squadron at March Air Reserve Base in California. My pro bono work also focuses on helping veterans obtain compensation and work through the process of starting up a company.
