about me

I was born and raised in San Diego, California. After graduating from La Jolla Country Day, I moved to ​North Carolina to attend High Point University with a plan to become a teacher. I graduated in 2017 with ​my B.A. in Special Education with a focus on students with mild to moderate disabilities.

But teaching wasn't my calling. I wanted to use my skills to help people in a different way. My dad, a ​plaintiff's lawyer who has represented injured people for over 40 years, suggested I come work for him as ​a law clerk and go to night law school.

I spent the next four years working with my dad during the day while attending law school at night. This ​gave me the opportunity to work with clients from intake to litigation and learn the practical matters of ​injury and insurance law. After taking the California bar, I continued to work with my dad as a lawyer.

After my first year practicing as a lawyer, I attended and graduated from a three-week program called ​the Gerry Spence Method on a ranch in Dubois, Wyoming. While there I learned powerful tools for ​persuasive advocacy that I now use to help my clients tell their stories in a way that will resonate with ​juries and judges. After returning from the program, I found myself wanting to take more cases to trial ​and to be brought onto cases going into trial at the last minute. I am happy to still work with my dad on ​some matters, but I went out on my own to have more freedom with trial work and the cases I handle.

While at High Point University, I had the privilege of delving into Special Education law throughout my ​courses. This experience, along with graduating from the Special Education Law Advocacy program at the ​University of San Diego, has given me the knowledge to assist families and children that receive Special ​Education services.

I am a member of Consumer Attorneys of San Diego, Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles, Consumer ​Attorneys of California, American Association of Justice, National Crime Victim Bar Association, and the ​San Diego County Bar Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time at the beach, practicing yoga, ​reading, and performing improv. I am also an active member of the Junior League and enjoy volunteering ​with different organizations in our community.

HOW I WORK

I'm selective about the cases I take because I want to make sure I ​can give each of my clients the time and attention they deserve. ​This means I don't take every case that walks in the door.

If I represent you, you'll have my full attention. I'll keep you ​updated on your case regularly and I'm always available to answer ​your questions. I understand that life is hectic, so I'm happy to ​schedule meetings and calls outside of traditional business hours.

You're my only priority when we're working together and I'm here ​to take care of you and get you the justice you deserve. I'll answer ​all of your questions, keep you updated on your case, and make ​sure you're comfortable with every decision we make.

I'm a passionate advocate for my clients. I believe that everyone ​deserves to be treated fairly, and I will fight for your rights until ​the very end.

I've worked on a wide range of cases, from car crashes involving ​traumatic brain injuries to trip and falls requiring surgeries to ​cases involving sexual assault. I also handle cases involving ​assault, injuries, and deaths that occur at sea; such as on cruise ​ships or private yachts. I know the law inside and out, and I'm not ​afraid to take on the big insurance companies. But most ​importantly, I care about my clients. I understand that you're ​going through a difficult time, and I'm here to help you every step ​of the way.
