As of August 2014, I am retired from the Office of the California Attorney General.  Since my retirement, I have engaged in research and writing on constitutional privacy issues as they affect sex work. Palgrave Macmillan has just published my Sex Workers and Their Clients: In Their Own Words, a book examining current research on the sex industry and directly contrasting prohibitionist claims with personal accounts of sex workers and their clients.

Prior to this work, I contributed the article “The ‘John’: Our New Folk Devil,” appearing as chapter 34 of the Routledge International Handbook of Sex Industry Research (2019). I have written on sex work for the Congressional Quarterly Researcher (April 15, 2016), the Los Angeles Lawyer (March 2016), the Pasadena Star News (December 17, 2015), and California’s legal newspaper, the Los Angeles Daily Journal (March 28, 2019, November 24, 2017, April 7, 2016, May 28, 2015, and September 10, 2015). In 2016, I wrote an amicus brief in support of the appeal in ESPLERP v. Gascon, the federal case challenging California’s anti-prostitution statute, and I contributed legal commentary on ReasonTV’s 2015 segment on that case. By invitation, on October 20, 2015, I appeared before the California Assembly Committee on Public Safety and spoke on legislative issues surrounding sex trafficking and prostitution.

From 1996 to 2014, I served in the Attorney General’s Office managing trials and appeals in state and federal courts.  My work included overseeing litigation counsel and writing and editing appellate briefs.  Statutory and constitutional issues were a staple of my section’s work.  Recurring issues included privacy, discrimination, disability, free speech, and state sovereignty.   

Prior to state practice I worked in private practice in Pasadena, California as an associate and then a name partner with Carter, Mosley & Carlson.  Before law school at UCLA, I graduated with a Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California at Davis, and I have published in professional philosophical journals.

I have lived all my professional life in California, but I spent eight years of my youth in Mexico and Colombia where my parents ran American elementary and high schools. I have enjoyed the life-long benefits of that early multi-cultural and multi-linguistic influence in my life.
