About Jana

After graduating from college, I worked as a jack-of-all-trades for an engineering program at UC Irvine.  I served as a financial analyst, coordinator and helped manage a fleet of hydrogen vehicles.  Prior to going into law school I had the opportunity to work with a number of different people in the community, from athletes and students, to engineers, parents, and other working professionals.


I attained my law degree from Whittier Law School and was hired on as a Deputy District Attorney in Orange County. As a former prosecutor, I always considered myself a public servant and was able to acquire knowledge of the court system, including the prosecutors and judges.  I chose to become a criminal defense attorney because I wanted to have a relationship with a client and help people get a fair and just outcome on their pending criminal matter.  Having had the opportunity to work on both sides of the criminal law I understand that some people are simply innocent, and that good people can find themselves in bad situations.   


I recognize the legal process can appear complex and being accused of a crime can be very frightening and stressful.  My pledge to you is that “we’ll get through it together.”
