I have been involved as an applicant’s attorney, judge pro-tem, arbitrator, mediator, writer, lecturer and volunteer in this system since 1974. I have represented uninsured employers and have advised the Legislature regarding reform and legislation. I am currently the incoming Chair of the California Lawyers’ Association Workers’ Compensation Section’s Executive Committee. I care deeply about the integrity and reputation of our area of legal practice and of the practitioners involved in the daily processing and litigation of Workers Compensation cases.
