A Ventura County resident since 1969 and a former probation officer, I obtained a law degree in 1982 and began practicing law in 1983. I have confined my practice to Family Law and related matters. When it comes to family law, I understand that there is a lot at stake. Essentially, the outcome of this case will dictate what is to come for you and your family. I am committed to making your transition from married person to single person as smooth as it can be. This means whether you are concerned about child custody, child support, property division for a high net worth divorce or sensitive domestic violence issues, I will work with resolve for the best possible outcome. I am an experienced Divorce Mediator and a member of the Ventura County Collaborative Divorce Professionals. I have been named "Problem Solver of the Year" by the Ventura County Family Law Bar. I am married with two daughters, a stepson and five grandchildren, so I understand what family means.
