Biography

I have lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my entire life, except for the period of time I attended UC Davis to pursue my undergraduate education.  I come from a mixed family, with older half siblings, and have been a witness to the interactions amongst parents, step parents, step children and the rest of their families.  I hope to assist individuals from all walks of life with their legal issues, because I believe everyone deserves to have access to an attorney regardless of their economic situation.
