Biography I am an honors graduate of Harvard Law School and have been practicing law for approximately twenty-five years in California. Prior to starting my own law practice eighteen years ago, I was one of the principal transactional and securities attorneys at De Castro, West, Chodorow & Burns, a Los Angeles law firm specializing in business and commercial transactions, taxation, securities, real estate and estate planning. I hold a B.S. in economics and an M.B.A. (concentration in finance) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Before attending law school, I was a banker in the commercial finance and real estate division of State Street Bank and Trust of Boston. I have served as a judge pro tem for both the Los Angeles and the San Bernardino County Municipal Courts, and as a fee dispute arbitrator for the Los Angeles Bar Association. I also have been an instructor in business law in the Chaffey College Small Business Management Certificate Program, an adjunct professor of law at the La Verne University College of Law and an instructor in business law for the legal assistant certificate program of UC Riverside. I was recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Pomona Valley Habitat for Humanity. I am a New York native (but a happily transplanted Californian), an avid golfer, and have been married since 1984 to Renée Pigeon, an English professor at California State University, San Bernardino.
