Dustin’s family tried to convince him not to become an attorney. They said it was a stressful profession, but he couldn’t see himself doing anything else.
Dustin enjoys the competitive aspect of trial and the courtroom, but he also enjoys advocating for those who would otherwise be at a disadvantage in court. His dad, Mike, and he have represented local farmers and defended them against larger organizations. They’re not afraid to go up against larger firms and government agencies to help those in need. With his educational background, he feels that he’s particularly adept at resolving complex business litigation cases.
Young Beginnings – Life Direction
Dustin began working at his father’s law firm when he was 15. Competitive by nature, he was always intrigued by the process of trial. So, when Dustin graduated with his bachelor’s degree and could no longer satisfy his competitive spirit through college baseball, he attended law school and the courtroom eventually became his competitive outlet. “
Malpractice and Disability
One of Dustin’s fondest memories was the time they litigated a medical malpractice case that helped ensure financial stability for a disabled child for the rest of her life.
Another time, they worked with a forensic company who tried to force their client into bankruptcy. They worked on the case tirelessly for two years even though the gentleman could not pay their fees. Dustin eventually recovered $2 million dollars for his client. The two are now close friends. While not every case ends in lifelong friendships, Dustin looks forward to positive, lasting relationships throughout his practice.
Family, Friends and Business Associates
As a Stockton native, Dustin has built a solid network of friends and business partners around the area. He loves helping the residents of his city and staying active in the community.
In his younger years, Dustin was an accomplished athlete who pitched for both St. Mary’s Rams and the UOP Tigers. Today, Dustin plays in a men’s baseball league and is a workout fiend. He and his wife, Tess, also stay quite busy with their young son and their beloved bullmastiff.
