As a Managing Attorney at The Barnes Firm Injury Attorneys in San Diego, California, I represent individuals and families in Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs matters. My commitment to helping injury victims is deeply personal and rooted in my own experience with a catastrophic car accident as a teenager.
I witnessed firsthand how a serious injury can affect every aspect of a family’s life. While the physical recovery was challenging, the financial uncertainty surrounding medical bills and lost income left a lasting impression on me. Because my family had strong legal representation and was able to recover fair compensation, I was given the opportunity to move forward, attend college, and pursue my goals.
In college, I majored in business and was twice elected president of the student government, representing more than 17,000 students. During that time, I developed a passion for public speaking, advocacy, and helping others navigate difficult circumstances.
I later attended law school, where I became a member of the university’s National Trial Team and competed in trial advocacy tournaments across the country. After graduation, I chose to dedicate my career to representing injured individuals and their families rather than pursuing corporate law opportunities.
I began practicing alongside Steve Barnes at the law offices of Cellino & Barnes in Manhattan, New York, where I focused on construction accident claims and trial advocacy. Today, at The Barnes Firm, I continue to advocate for clients facing the challenges that often follow serious accidents and injuries.
My practice is focused on helping clients involved in car accidents, construction accidents, and other personal injury matters. Having personally experienced the impact of a life-changing injury, I understand the importance of responsive communication, preparation, and committed legal representation throughout the claims process.
I take pride in working closely with clients and guiding them through complex legal and insurance matters while pursuing compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. My goal is to help clients move forward with confidence during a difficult time.
