I started my career in the legal field at 20, after having worked both with children at private schools and with the elderly as the director of human resources at assisted living facilities. I have dedicated my life to be of service to others and I feel strongly about advocating for my family law clients. I began in Valencia and moved down to the high end LA offices at about the age of 24.
