I have been practicing law for over 21 years. I am licensed and on active status in the states of California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. I also represent clients on a national basis by affiliating with attorneys licensed in any given state where I have a client or project located. When I am not working on client matters I give presentations and publish law review articles on subjects of interest to land trusts and attorneys.
