Thereafter, the goal is to work to obtain adequate compensation for the clients' pain and suffering so that they can once again get their life together and move forward and live as much of a normal life as possible.

I am the Managing Partner of Mission Legal Center in San Diego, Chula Vista, Carlsbad and El Paso. I have the privilege of advocating on behalf of San Diegans who have been injured in an accident. I love that my job is to fight for those who need help the most while recovering from serious injuries. As an experienced and top-reviewed San Diego personal injury attorney, I’m devoted to raising the bar of excellence in service and advocacy for my clients, and I’m committed to serving the San Diego legal community as a whole. As a result, I am active in the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego and have served as a speaker/seminar presenter. Prior to law school, I studied pre-medicine, which armed me with extensive knowledge of human physiology, which has been immeasurably valuable to my work with injured victims in San Diego. I understand that sometimes very severe injuries may not be visible to the naked eye. For example, brain injuries can wreak havoc on a victim’s cognitive abilities and quality of life, even if they appear to be outwardly “fine” following an accident. Each victim or family member of an injured victim who selects Mission Personal Injury Lawyers will be treated as a member of our family. We return your calls promptly, we make sure you understand every step of the process, and we take the time to explain every step of the personal injury litigation process thoroughly. We also refuse to settle for lowball offers from insurance companies.
