My family moved to this country from El Salvador
when I was eight years old. I eventually graduated
from California State University Los Angeles, and
later earned a law degree from Santa Clara University
School of Law.

I began working in 1994 as the only legal aid
attorney in Kings County, 50 miles south of Fresno,
California. While there I worked on a great variety of
cases, including employment rights of farm workers
in a successful appeal to California's first appellate
district. Following this I worked as a staff attorney
for Legal Assistance for Seniors (LAS) for three
years, focusing on elder abuse cases.  I also worked
on cases involving housing and landlord/tenant
disputes, and government benefits.

Since 1998 I have worked principally on family law
disputes: divorce, custody and visitation issues,
guardianship, and adoption. Currently my law
practice is located in Berkeley. I handle immigration
cases as well as family law, and mediation. I speak
Spanish fluently and participate in many community
efforts towards peaceful conflict resolution.

I hope this information helps you for your selection
of the appropriate person to work with you on
solving the problems you are facing.
