About Our Legal Team
Integrity,
Experience, Commitment!
Over 20 years, I have had
the privilege to experience all types and size of cases.
From large media cases such as the Swiss Air Crash where
I served as a Member of the Plaintiffs' Committee, to assisting
hard working individuals in my local Burlingame-San Mateo
community and the larger San Francisco Bay Area. I provide
clients with skill and experience in a profession where
knowledge often translates into winning or losing a case.
As my practice has grown over the years, I am proud to have
assisted thousands of satisfied clients who continue to
refer their friends and families to me.
I
thrive on complicated cases. What often looks like a complicated
legal issue at first is really not so complicated if the
attorney takes the time to listen closely to the client.
I take the time to listen.
However, if the
necessity arises, I know how to stop civil litigation in
its tracks by use of superior strategy, tactics, and exhaustive
legal research. Our philosophy is to treat each client as
a close friend, and to work hard with integrity and commitment.
Why us? We are friendly.
We are knowledgeable. We have experience, proven legal record,
reasonable rates, and patience. Above all, we explain the
law to allow the clients to make informed decisions.
Multilingual
Communication is one if not the most important factor when
it comes to legal services. With the law being confusing
& constantly changing it is important that our clients
understand each step of the process. With many clients having
English as a second language it can be even more difficult
to grasp what is happening. At our office, one of us is
likely to speak your language.
