Biography

Joe is admitted to practice before the following courts: The Supreme Court of the United States (#318544), The Supreme Court of the State of California (#317368), The United States Tax Court (#CJ23244), The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, The United States District Court for the Southern District of California, The United States District Court for the Central District of California, The United States District Court for the Northern District of California, The United States Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals, The United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (#37879), and The United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims.

Mediation: Mediation is not "one size fits all" and Joe works with the parties to develop effective solutions for their unique situation.
Joe will mediate disputes in the areas of: family law, landlord/tenant, business disputes, disputes with an emphasis on real estate or insurance issues, and interpersonal disputes.

Real Estate: Having been in the real estate sales/mortgage industry since 2006, Joe brings a dynamic to real estate transactions that most attorneys can't & that no real estate agent can.
Give Joe a call about any real estate transaction including FSBOs for a free consultation. Get better results with a real estate attorney on your side.

Personal Injury Law: You were injured & it's not your fault. Now you are entitled to whatever compensation is necessary to put you back in the position you would have been in had you not been injured.

Family Law - Minor's Counsel: Family Law can be challenging at times, but doesn't need to be. Attitude, the ability to stay rational with the facts, & common sense can easily help this often volatile area of the law into a seamless transition of the next phase of your life.

Joe is also a Judge Pro Tem, mediator, and mandatory settlement conference facilitator at the Superior Court in Sonoma County.

Cancellation/Postponement Policy: When the mediation has been scheduled and a cancellation/continuance occurs the deposit will be refunded except for time incurred if I can re-reschedule the time with another matter or if notice is given fifteen (15) or more days in advance. Otherwise, if the cancellation or postponement occurs within fifteen (15) days of the mediation date, the parties will be responsible for the deposit. The cancellation policy exists because time reserved and later cancelled generally cannot be replaced.
