An attorney with 27 years of experience and a statewide reputation, I am a certified workers’ compensation law specialist. I have also successfully handled hundreds of Social Security Disability + SSI appeals. A partner at Cole, Fisher, Cole, O'Keefe + Mahoney, I have established a reputation and contacts throughout California. I am a member of the California Applicants’ Attorney Association (CAAA), an organization of attorneys who represent those injured at work. I was invited to serve on CAAA’s executive committee, where I helped direct the organization’s efforts to assist injured workers. In addition to my practice in workers’ compensation, I have also successfully handled hundreds of Social Security Disability and SSI appeals. Recognized as one of California’s Super Lawyers, I handle cases in the Central Valley, and have more recently begun accepting clients in the Santa Barbara area. My Story I graduated from San Joaquin Memorial High School and earned a B.S. degree at University of Santa Clara in psychology. After trying my hand at TV journalism in Nebraska, I returned to Fresno to pursue a legal career and graduated with distinction from San Joaquin College of Law. While in law school, I clerked at local firm Baker Manock & Jensen, and ultimately joined the then firm of Cole and Fisher, which has grown to the Cole, Fisher, Cole, O'Keefe + Mahoney firm that the Central Valley knows today.
