I know how it feels when an injury takes away more than physical strength. I have seen how it can strip someone of independence, routine, and peace of mind. That reality became personal when my grandmother suffered a serious fall at a restaurant and shattered her shoulder. What stood out most was not just the injury itself, but how quickly responsibility was denied. The restaurant refused accountability, and the insurance company focused only on medical costs while overlooking the emotional toll and long-term loss of independence she endured.
If we had not fought for her, she would have been left with nothing. Witnessing that experience made it clear how often injured people are minimized and how critical strong advocacy truly is. That experience continues to shape the way I approach personal injury law as a Los Angeles personal injury lawyer and the way I fight for my clients.
Experience That Gives Clients an Advantage
I spent most of my legal career practicing insurance defense at a boutique firm in Los Angeles. That role gave me direct insight into how insurance companies evaluate personal injury claims, assess liability, and attempt to limit compensation.
Today, I apply that knowledge on behalf of injured individuals. I understand how insurance carriers think, what arguments they rely on, and where claims are often undervalued. This perspective allows me to anticipate challenges and advocate strategically for accident victims seeking fair compensation.
Practice Focus
My practice is dedicated to representing individuals who have been harmed by negligence. I handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including:
- Auto accidents
- Premises liability
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractic
- Elder abuse
- Nursing Home Abuse
Every case represents a person whose life has been disrupted, and I treat it with the care and seriousness it deserves.
My Legal Foundation
I built my legal career on a strong academic foundation and early, hands-on experience in personal injury law.
I earned my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Southern California, where I was recognized on the Dean’s List, and later obtained my Juris Doctor from the University of West Los Angeles School of Law. During law school, I worked full-time at several civil litigation law firms, which allowed me to work directly with civil litigation attorneys and gain practical experience with a primary focus on personal injury law.
Where Partnership Meets Purpose
As a husband-and-wife legal team, Alan and I work together every day with a shared sense of responsibility for the people who place their trust in us. Our commitment to our clients continues beyond the workday, and we work together to make sure nothing is missed.
By working side by side, we bring continuity, accountability, and careful attention to every case we handle. Clients benefit from two attorneys fully aligned in strategy and purpose, focused on protecting their interests and guiding them through a difficult time. This partnership allows us to remain responsive, thorough, and deeply invested, ensuring nothing is overlooked and every client feels supported from start to finish.
What Motivates Me
I am motivated by the complexity of personal injury cases and the responsibility that comes with guiding someone through one of the most difficult periods of their life. These cases often involve disputed liability, extensive medical evidence, aggressive insurance tactics, and strict legal deadlines. Each challenge requires careful investigation, preparation, and strategy.
What drives me is seeing injured individuals regain a sense of control and stability after feeling overwhelmed by the legal process. Knowing that my work can help someone move forward physically, emotionally, and financially continues to fuel my commitment at every stage of a case.
What It’s Like to Work with Me
Suffering a personal injury can be overwhelming and stressful. When clients work with me, they gain a sense of security knowing they have an advocate who is committed to protecting their interests.
I take the time to listen, explain each step of the process, and guide clients with clarity and compassion. My approach is hands-on and thoughtful, allowing clients to feel informed, supported, and confident that their case is being handled with care while they focus on recovery.
Looking Beyond the Paperwork
Personal injuries cannot be fully understood through medical records alone. I focus on how an injury affects daily life, independence, and future challenges, not just immediate treatment.
My goal is to pursue outcomes that reflect the full scope of harm, including pain and suffering and the long-term impact an injury may have. Recovery should address both present needs and future realities.
