We also frequently provides pre-litigation consultation to eliminate or reduce future conflicts. Additionally, we advise clients in the drafting and negotiation of construction and design agreements and compliance with jurisdictional requirements for the performance of construction and design services. I am a certified mediator, specializing in the resolution of construction and real estate disputes. I am also a licensed civil engineer in the state of California and after graduating from college, I worked as a structural engineer in Southern California (designing and overseeing the construction of both residential and commercial structures) and at a consulting firm where I consulted on the completion of construction projects for performance bond sureties.
