Core Values

What drives Esli Law Firm every day

Decades of experience in personal injury law and genuine care for the people I represent shape everything I do as your attorney.

Personal Attention

I'm a solo practice, so there is no one to hand your case off to and no associate looking over my shoulder. You work with me directly, from our first call to the day your case resolves.

Bilingual From Day One

I grew up speaking English and Spanish in Santa Ana, and I still work in both every day. If Spanish is easier for you, we talk in Spanish, no interpreter between us.

28 Years of Inside Knowledge

From receptionist to chief administrative officer to attorney, I've seen personal injury law from every angle. I know how insurance companies operate, and how to fight back.

Your Attorney

I run a solo practice. When you hire me, you work directly with your attorney from day one through resolution. No runaround, no surprises.

The Timeline

How I got to Esli Law Firm

From a receptionist's desk to an attorney, nearly three decades in personal injury law led me to open this firm.

1997

Entered Personal Injury Law

I started as a receptionist at a personal injury firm in Santa Ana. Over the next 28 years, I worked up through case manager, office manager, and chief administrative officer.

Earned J.D. from Law School

I attended night law school while working a full-time job, year after year, and earned my Juris Doctor degree by refusing to quit, no matter how long it took.

Passed the California Bar

After more than one attempt and years of persistence, I passed the California Bar Exam and finally became the attorney I had spent 28 years working toward.
