About

I understand that family law situations can be emotionally overwhelming. Nothing is more frustrating than entrusting legal counsel to ensure that your story is heard, but your attorney never seems to be available. 

From day one, your case will receive my personal attention. I’m here to support you every step of the way, not just in court.

When considering counsel, consider the experience and credentials of the person who will represent you.

I have been a Certified Family Law Specialist (CFLS) since 2004. My practice has been based in El Dorado County since 1996, and I also handle matters in Sacramento, Amador, and Placer Counties. 

I provide litigation, mediation, and collaborative law services to clients. My practice consists of all areas of family law, including divorce, property division, custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and domestic violence restraining orders. More information here.

As a retired CPA, I am able to apply my financial skills and experience to assist my clients. I am a member and former officer of the El Dorado County Bar Association. I completed my Juris Doctor (J.D.) at U.C. Davis School of Law (King Hall), and was admitted to the State Bar of California in 1996. I graduated with a B.S. in Business Administration from Pacific Union College in 1983, obtained a California Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license in 1986, and am an alumnus of Price Waterhouse.
