Over 28 Years of Legal Experience

I have been practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1977. I act as Judge Pro Tem in Santa Clara County's Family Court. My legal memberships include the California Bar Association and the Association of Trial Lawyers of America. I am licensed to practice in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California, the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals and the United States Tax Court.

Skilled California Mediation Services

Mediation is a process through which the terms of your divorce are settled out of court. If you and your spouse believe you can work together to arrive at a resolution, I can mediate your disagreements. I represent neither you nor your spouse-I simply advise you of the possibilities should you leave your disputes to be decided by a judge. In mediation, you and your spouse make the decisions, and I prepare all of the paperwork on your behalf. Contact me for more information.
