attorney · fraud examiner ·
harvard law school-trained mediator
I successfully represented clients in cases ranging from divorce to fraud investigations, for the last 30 years. As an economist, Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), and California State Attorney, I can analyze cases from various angles so that I can determine reasonable resolutions to disputes and provide successful representation for all my clients. In addition to that, I can also communicate with you in Greek, French, Italian, and Spanish, in order to suit your needs. As a family lawyer and domestic violence lawyer in Palm Desert, CA, I represent clients throughout Southern California, with a focus in Riverside County. My staff and I go above and beyond to resolve your case as soon as possible and give you the best possible results.
