I am licensed to practice in the State of California and in both the Northern and Eastern District Courts of California for the United States of America (i.e., the Federal Court) in Kings, Tulare, Fresno and Madera Counties. Judges appoint cases to me, even though I am a private practice attorney. In addition, judges and other attorneys have asked for my help, requesting me to write amicus curiae briefs in cases on which I am not the "attorney of record."
