Located in Ventura, California. My practice focuses on civil and criminal appeals and writs in California state courts and criminal and civil federal appeals to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which hears appeals from federal district courts in Alaska, Arizona, California, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon and Washington. The remainder of my practice consists of civil litigation in state and federal courts in California. (This website is currently in “minimalist” mode .
