General Civil Litigation – Agricultural Law – Insurance Disputes – Special Education Law

I have also advocated on behalf of special needs students. Prior to earning my Doctorate of Jurisprudence from Monterey College of Law in 2003, I worked in the commercial insurance and agricultural industries for 15 years. For 5 years, I served as Dole Fresh Vegetables’ Manager of Casualty, Property and Product Liabilities where I supervised Dole’s national self-insurance retention exposure and negotiated settlements of coverage disputes.
