Attorney’s philosophy:

In my 37 years of practicing law, the legal system is still the only way to help our country to establish a safe and fair environment in dealing with people’s lives. As in my own life I represented clients in the early 70’s to defend the civil rights; in the 80’s I dealt with fraud cases where numerous corporations were selling domestic oil which was certified as Saudi Arabia Crude, and the 90’s major population addictions to narcotics such as Crystal Meth amphetamine with its destruction of the user and their families.

As time goes on and with increased populations in Southern California, there are many more divorces. Marital dissolutions in the 70’s usually cost under $5,000.00 with children lawyers, counselors, mediators, financial advisors, doctors, psychologists, accountants and visitation monitors all necessary to serve the best interest of the litigants and their children.

To conclude, be thankful for our judicial legal system. Remember the reason we need lawyers is the fact that someone needs to fight for our rights and hold us together when we make a mess of our lives.

This is one attorney’s opinion…
