Bio

From approximately 1989 through 2006, I was a prosecutor with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office. During those 17 years, I tried some of the most challenging and severe cases in the criminal justice system. I was the lead prosecutor in nearly a hundred trials during that period.

During my career as a prosecutor, I tried several gang cases, homicide trials, and domestic violence matters. I was the first person in Santa Clara County to try a “Three Strikes” case.

In 1998, I was given the “Trial Attorney of the Year” award by the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s office. I was given that award after a year-long trial I conducted. The trial involved prison gang members ordering a “hit” from Pelican Bay State Prison and then killing a fellow gang member. All the defendants in that case, were convicted.

Something I was particularly passionate about was the years I spent with the District Attorney’s “Family Violence” Unit. I tried numerous domestic violence cases and advocated for hundreds of victims. I received special training in these cases from State Wide Experts.

In 2006 I left the District Attorney’s office to pursue my dream of opening my own criminal defense practice. I worked with the Independent Defender’s office for several years to gain valuable defense-related experience. I then worked as a Founding Partner at one of the biggest criminal defense firms in Northern California.

Because of this unique background, I am one of the few attorneys who has experience in every aspect of the criminal justice system. I have advocated for victims, prosecuted cases for the District Attorney's office and tried and defended the most serious criminal charges a defendant can face. Now I can put these years of experience and expertise on YOUR side!
