Over the course of 20 years as a marketing professional and entrepreneur/small business owner, I had successes and I had failures; I learned a lot along the way. Those experiences made me a more tenacious negotiator & litigator, and a more compassionate Estate Planning, Elder Law, Wills & Trusts, and Bankruptcy Lawyer.
When you're my client, you can call, text, and email me whenever you need me. I get back to you as quickly as possible, and I promise to answer all of your questions in simple, everyday language — not legal jargon.
The situation you’re facing probably has you feeling stuck - that’s why I’m here. People come to me with what appear to be impossible problems, and I use every tool at my disposal to get your matter moving to the best possible outcome for you.
I don't have a large fancy office or a battalion of clerks and paralegals - If you want to be impressed by mahogany paneling, law books, and leather chairs, let me know. I’ll refer you to a law firm that has a beautiful office. I don’t keep an office. Instead, I'm a creature of the internet (that's what it's there for), and I work around your busy schedule, and travel to you if needed.
It may feel like the end of the world right now, but I promise you, it’s not. Let’s start things off by talking about where you currently stand and where you’d like to be.
I’ll address your concerns and explain what will and won’t happen as your case proceeds. I will do this patiently and respectfully. No rush, no pressure.
Each legal plan I design reflects your individual needs and goals. Once that plan is established, I get straight to work on making it happen for you.
You are the essence of a really great lawyer. Thank you so much!
Thank you Eric for everything you did..You were wonderful guiding me thru everything.

When you are buried under a mountain of stress, you can’t be the best version of yourself. That doesn’t sit well with me. I choose to practice the areas of law that I do (especially Long-Term Care Planning, Medi-Cal Planning, Estate Planning, Asset Protection Planning, & Bankruptcy) so that I can help real people overcome their everyday problems and get you back to focusing on what’s truly important — your work, your family and your loved ones.
Your situation will inevitably be stressful, but that doesn’t mean I can’t shoulder some of that burden for you. Here are three unique ways I work to make things easier for my clients.
I keep my schedule flexible so that I’m available when you need me. We can schedule calls and online meetings after work or whenever makes the most sense for you. And whenever I can’t come to the phone, I will return your call, text, or email as soon as I possibly can.
Although we can usually accomplish almost everything through phone, skype, texts, and emails (yes, my clients can text me for quick questions), the occasional concern does arise that requires my client and me to sit down together, in person. No worries — I make this process simple. Rather than asking you to gather up all your paperwork and come to me, I will hop in my car and come to you. I'm always happy to meet my clients when and where it's most convenient for them.
I am able to resolve the vast majority of the cases I handle before the word “trial” ever comes up. Still, I always prepare for the possibility of trial just in case. And whether we have to negotiate in or out of the courtroom, you can rest easier knowing I am a skilled and experienced fighter.
