I am a criminal defense attorney recognized for my comprehensive understanding and application of the law. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from California State University of Northridge and earned my Juris Doctorate with a concentration in Criminal Law from Whittier Law School in 2018.
My journey in criminal law began early in my career, working at some of the most prestigious criminal defense firms in Los Angeles. These experiences provided me with a deep understanding of courtroom dynamics, law enforcement testimonies, and the complexities of criminal investigations. I am licensed to practice criminal defense in all federal jurisdictions and all California Superior Courts. Additionally, I am a member of the California State Bar in good standing and actively involved in numerous state and national criminal defense organizations.
Throughout my career in Southern California, I have been part of teams handling high-stakes criminal defense cases. My responsibilities have included conducting thorough investigations, preparing witnesses for trial, and drafting critical legal documents such as trial briefs and sentencing mitigations. I have also had the opportunity to be the second chair in trials involving serious offenses, including homicide, burglary, domestic violence, fraud, and kidnapping.
As a practicing attorney, I pride myself on my integrity, meticulous preparation, and unwavering commitment to each case. I am dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of fiduciary duty and attorney-client privilege, ensuring that I am a reliable advocate for my clients.

- Q. Can I file a police report for jewelry not returned after repairs in California?
- A: Based on the detqails you prived:

Although there was no written contract, you may still have a valid claim under a verbal agreement and the legal principle of bailment, which applies when property is given to someone for safekeeping or repair.
If the individual continues to retain the jewelry without lawful justification, despite your written demand (especially if sent via Certified Mail), it may rise to the level of theft by embezzlement under California Penal Code § 503.

- Q. Arrested for disturbing peace after a protest despite complying with police; how to request charge dismissal before arraignment?
- A: Based on the details you shared: To request the dismissal of charges before your arraignment, your attorney can file a motion arguing that there was no probable cause for your arrest under Penal Code 415. Since you complied with the police by stopping noise and were simply standing peacefully with a sign, there was no actual disturbance of the peace. Witness statements and any available video evidence supporting your compliance could strengthen this motion, showing that the arrest was unlawful. This could provide a basis for dismissal prior to the arraignment.
