I am a Southern California criminal defense attorney, founder of Moments Law, and commentator on California criminal justice issues. My work focuses on the intersection of criminal law, substance use disorders, mental health, homelessness, and public safety. Drawing on daily courtroom experience in Southern California Counties, I help audiences understand how California’s criminal justice system operates in practice, explain the impact of new legislation and court decisions, and provide clear, balanced legal analysis for television, radio, podcasts, and print media.
