Education Law

Perhaps most fundamental to the infrastructure of a thriving civilization, every society’s Education system must be fair, accessible, and of highest quality. Prior to opening my own law practice, I worked as a teacher at the secondary school and college levels as well as Assistant General Counsel to the aptly-named non-profit Education Not Incarceration. I am a 2001 California Governor’s Teaching Fellow, an honor bestowed on the 1,000 best CA public school teachers dedicated to social justice education. In my practice of Education Law, these former experiences lend insight into my approach to resolving my client’s legal concerns. I offer intense legal representation for students, teachers, and private schools from grade school through graduate programs in an array of Education Law matters as well as related Criminal Defense and Civil Rights disputes.
