Personal
I was born and raised in Fresno, California, and attended school locally, including Fresno City College, California State University, Fresno, and San Joaquin College of Law.
My wife is a nurse practitioner, and we are very fortunate to have a two-year old son.
Experience
While attending Fresno State, I became interested in the law and started working at a law office. During law school, I worked for a prominent criminal attorney assisting with all types of legal matters, including personal injury.
In 2009, I began working for a law firm who primarily represented insurance companies. While representing these companies, it was clear that the goal was to get injured people to accept the least amount possible to resolve their claims. After four and a half years, I became frustrated with insurance companies and their lack of compassion. When the opportunity to represent injured parties came along, I jumped at the chance. This opportunity allowed me to realize how much I truly enjoy helping people.
From 2014 to 2022, I have worked at a firm exclusively practicing personal injury litigation representing injured parties. I have tried multiple cases to verdict and have second-chaired my mentor Daniel R. Baradat in a half dozen others.
In 2022, after the retirement of my mentor, I decided that it was time to open my own office where I could focus on providing a client-centered experience in order to provide the highest level of personal service while obtaining the maximum amount of compensation for my clients.
Mission
My goal is always to put my clients in a better position than they were before they walked into my office; clients come first. I am guided by two principles that my mentor Daniel R. Baradat taught me:
- Do the right thing; and
- Make sure your clients are happy.
I know that the most important case to my clients is their own, and I strive to treat each case with the same compassion and commitment regardless of the value.
While most attorneys will tell you that they handle personal injury claims, this is what I do exclusively.
