Civil Litigation

1801 Century Park E 25th fl, Century City, CA 90067, USA

I graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2003 with a Bachelor’s Degree in History. At UCSB, I was active in student government, serving as an elected representative on the Associated Students Senate for two years. I studied abroad for a semester in Cordoba, Spain, and was active in outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, swimming and snow sports. Following my undergraduate degree, I attended Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, California, where I graduated with a J.D. in May of 2007. I was granted a full academic scholarship to attend Thomas Jefferson after scoring in the top 3% of LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) takers in 2002. While in law school, I was a member of the Admiralty Law Society, and team captain of the Duberstein Bankruptcy Moot Court competition team, competing in a national competition held at St. John’s University in New York. I took and passed the California Bar Exam in July of 2007. I am currently admitted to practice law in the State of California, and the United States District Courts (Federal Court) in the Southern, Eastern and Central Districts of California. After passing the bar exam, I worked as an associate attorney at two large national law firms before going out on my own.
