“Ernesto, The Honest Lawyer”
Welcome! I am a fully bilingual (English and Spanish) California licensed attorney who honestly and compassionately represents clients in Personal Injury, Immigration, Estate Planning, and Criminal Law matters. My goal is to bring justice and peace to clients of all backgrounds by being a zealous advocate.
I received my Juris Doctor from the Santa Barbara College of Law. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Spanish Literature (Distinction in the Major) from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I obtained a Master’s Degree in Spanish Literature from UCSB. Although born in the U.S. I spent my early childhood in Choix, Sinaloa, Mexico. There, I experienced first hand the struggles of people, including family members, who were compelled to migrate North in search of the American Dream.
I humbly share that I, too, migrated in search of this dream. Now as an attorney I am blessed to use my knowledge and legal skills to bring justice and representation to those in need.
I am a member of the California State Bar. I am also a proud volunteer attorney at the Immigrant Legal Defense Center, where I get to advocate on behalf of juvenile residents of California’s Central Coast. When I am not practicing law or teaching, I enjoy cooking and traveling with my family.
