Legal Services & Advocacy
Proudly serving the Monterey County community
& our neighbors in San Benito & Santa Cruz Counties.
Legal Services cover the full range of what people expect from a lawyer: court representation and the legal work required to protect your rights when needed. Advocacy goes further. It recognizes that not every challenge is resolved in a courtroom and provides guidance, strategy, and support where legal action cannot deliver a solution. Advocacy is for the moments when you need to work through a problem with someone you trust. Someone ready to step in directly, stand beside you, or connect you with the right resources. Together, legal services and advocacy create a complete model of representation: aggressive, thorough legal representation when it is required, and comprehensive support when life demands more. I use every tool and resource at my disposal to move you forward.
