When possible, the client should always be encouraged to assist in the process and / or self-help. It keeps clients educated and keeps costs to the client down.

This arrangement is often used on small civil matters at a minimal cost.

To whatever extent possible, I encourage clients to represent themselves, particularly through the small claims process. This is not a recommendation for criminal defense clients.

I decided to be a lawyer because I always wanted to be an advocate for the less fortunate.

I have been heavily involved in community affairs and am thus acutely aware of the pulse of the community, which helps litigation and advocacy skills.

I started clerking in a criminal defense firm in San Francisco and discovered an affinity for this area of practice. As to civil and personal injury litigation, I spent most of my elective course at Hastings in this area. I kept following the area after passing the bar.

What I like best about my career are jury trials.

All of my staff members are experienced and totally dedicated to the community and our clientele.

I have a tendency to want to know everything about my case and thus am dedicated to the details prior to and during trial.

I believe myself to be considered an aggressive advocate. I am willing to zealously pursue the interests of my client.

My ideal client is one that cooperates and shares in the workload.

I like to travel with my wife. I also like to hunt, fish and attend sporting events.
