Georgine Brave, is the founder of our firm. Shawn Weber and Julie Mack became partners in the firm on January 1, 2006.

Georgine Brave, our founder, offers an extensive knowledge of the law, 18 years of courtroom experience, and strong advocacy skills. Ms. Brave is a committed social activist. She and her team contribute to the community as volunteers. Ms. Brave has been nominated for two consecutive years by the San Diego Business Journal for their prestigious "Women Who Mean Business" award.

Listening to our clients’ needs and concerns

Our lawyers will actually take the time to acknowledge and hear your concerns and problems. "Learning to really absorb everything my clients were going through was a very important lesson for me," says Georgine Brave. "Listening doesn't happen by itself: it takes a conscious decision and a willingness to release the distraction of rushing in with a reply."

Reducing confusion and pain

"What I bring to the table as a family lawyer is a sense of empathy. When I see someone being put through the ringer, I can totally understand where they are coming from," says Brave. We are adept at cutting to the heart of a complicated legal issue and communicating with our clients in very clear and understandable language. We do not indulge in unnecessary legal jargon. We make your contact with the legal system less confusing and painful.
