Bio
I am a practicing criminal defense attorney, who has spent my career fighting for equity in the legal system. After earning my law degree with a focus on social justice, I served as a Stanislaus County Deputy Public Defender and eventually opened my own practice in San Francisco. I have completed over 50 jury trials and three bench trials.
Beyond the courtroom, I am deeply committed to public service and social justice, working with organizations such as the Northern California Innocence Project, Equal Rights Advocates, and the Katharine & George Alexander Community Law Center. I am especially passionate about mentorship and find great joy in helping the next generation of attorneys, especially criminal defense attorneys, discover their passion for advocacy.
My hobbies include my dog, horror movies, and anything utterly ridiculous.
