No two cases are alike, but our goal is always the same: keep fighting until we get the best possible result for you.

Mistakes in your past shouldn’t hinder your potential to become the lawyer you aspire to be.

• Receive an Inquiry Letter from a State Bar Investigator related to your Moral Character Application

While no lawyer can guarantee a result, her approach focuses on demonstrating a compelling, compassionate view of the Moral Character applicant.
