24/7 Emergency Consults for Criminal Matters; (714) 321-9999.

I offer free consultations for personal injury and criminal cases.

As an attorney, I offer strong yet affordable representation to the people of Orange County, Inland Empire and the surrounding areas with criminal defense and personal injury matters. Most of my clients have immigration issues when they are arrested and it takes a special attorney who understands the consequences of criminal charges for immigrants.

I’m a product of our community. I’m an immigrant. I was poor as a child. I had to start working at age 14 so I could help my family. I’ve had friends who made mistakes and I saw how the authorities violated their rights because they knew they could get away with it. I’ve seen war and medical procedures. I’ve had all kinds of battles in life. Yet I’ve never given up on myself nor others. As a kid, I vowed to become a champion of my community. I dreamt of becoming an attorney and coming back to help as many people as possible. Now I do exactly that, daily.

As a passionate and persuasive speaker, I can aggressively advocate for you. I attended law school specifically to become a defense attorney. I strongly believe that every person is innocent until proven otherwise. Even if someone is not innocent, it does not mean the police or government can violate their Constitutional rights. Two wrongs do not make a right. This is what makes us Americans–we have rights! It’s my duty to insure that never changes.

Further yet, if you’re injured due to someone else’s fault, it’s important that you recover for your damages and pain and suffering.

You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to at least meet the most understanding and aggressive attorney for a free consultation.

Speaking Engagements

Criminal Justice Instructor, Garden Grove Unified School District
July 2024
Career Tecnical Education
This was a 6-week class where I presented the field of criminal justice to high school interns interested in learning more about careers within the legal justice system. We visited courthouses, police stations, probation offices, victim/witness offices and spoke to personnel within each. I also taught them about our Constitutional rights and the sequence of events as it pertains to the criminal justice system from the creation of laws to arrests and final adjudication of the case.
