I was born in San Rafael where I have lived all my life except when I was away at school. I graduated from Golden Gate University School of Law and upon graduating worked in the area of family law. Prior to law school, I attended the University of California at Santa Barbara, where I received a degree in Law and Society. I began working with Peter Pelavin in 1996. My practice emphasizes estate planning, estate administration, and related areas of law. I am an active volunteer for my local school district and take great joy and pride in being a native and resident of Marin County.
