BIOGRAPHY

 

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California Los Angeles in 1972. Thereafter, I attended Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles earning my Juris Doctorate in 1976.

I have practiced law in both Southern and Central California in excess of 30 years in the area of civil litigation. In 2006, I opened my own law and alternative dispute resolution practice (ADR) in Newport Beach, California. I received my preliminary and advanced ADR training at the Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution located at Pepperdine University School of Law.

I am a member of the pro bono and per pay ADR panels of the Los Angeles Superior Court as well as the ADR panel of the Orange County Superior Court.
