Known in the Bay Area and beyond as the leading expert in the complex and high-stakes arena of distressed real estate, I break down complicated legal issues in accessible and clear language so you have total clarity.

Depth of Knowledge

My depth and breadth of knowledge in this specialty is virtually unmatched by any other lawyer in the region, an achievement recognized by the regional real estate industry and legal profession.

With compassion and patience, I help both clients and professionals evaluate specific situations and develop customized action plans that immediately begin the process of moving people out of the problem and into the solution.

Experience

I’ve been an attorney for 3o years. Since 2007, I’ve developed my expertise in the highly specialized area of distressed properties. During this time, I’ve advised over two thousand clients from every walk of professional and personal life, from teachers to architects, professionals to retirees, couples to individuals.  Whether that advice involves trying to keep your home, or developing an effective exit strategy, the bottom line is the help you reach a decision that puts you back on a path of long-term financial stability.

In that same time period, I’ve conducted dozens of in-demand workshops and seminars for real estate agents and brokers in “best practices” related to short sales and similar transactions.

For the Community

In addition to my legal work, I give back to the community through teaching, mentoring and volunteering; participate on the leadership team of Business Networking International; and have successfully launched a Mexican folk art business.
