Top Civil Lawyers Near Me in Redwood City Area

One of the area's top criminal defense and DUI attorneys who won the landmark breathalyzer case upheld by the CA Supreme Court Team includes Harvard Attorney, Former DA and Certified Criminal Law Specialist. Immigration law expert to help non-citizen clients charged with a crime. 2019 Super Lawyer, A+ BBB and 10/10 Superb rating on Avvo.. I care about my clients.  Gerry Spence, the greatest living trial lawyer, teaches that we have to love our clients just to stand a fighting chance in a justice system that offers little justice.  If we don't care about our clients, why would a judge or jurors care about them.  Fortunately, you can always find something to love in everyone.. I have to thank Gerry and all of the faculty of the Trial Lawyers College for establishing and growing the only institution that really trains you to be as good as you can be; it is their training that has made me as effective as I am, and I strive to get better and better.. I have often described defending a person against the vast machine we call "The People" is like beating your head against a wall until something breaks.  More often than you'd think, it turns out to be the wall.

I'm a business-minded legal executive (General Counsel / Chief Legal Officer) and advisor with 20 years of experience in technology companies and startups. As an attorney and former IT professional prior to practicing law, I can foresee and manage risks involving new and innovative technologies.I have a wealth of expertise in legal and business affairs, such as:* corporate governance* mergers & acquisitions (M&A)* commercial transactions* international law and business operations* data privacy and cybersecurity* intellectual property (IP) strategy: copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patent licensing* software licensing and SaaS agreements* civil litigation and dispute resolution: business, IP, securities, real estate, products liability* global employment and labor lawI've built and managed in-house legal teams and budgets at four companies covering ecommerce, financial services (fintech, payments, SaaS), digital advertising (adtech, media, data analytics, machine learning), and social media. On top of that, I have operational experience in overseeing compliance, facilities, real estate, administrative (G&A), risk management, and business operations, as well as indirect management of human resources (HR). On the side, I love working with startup technology companies and founders. I currently serve on the Board of Directors for Cryptsonic Technologies and Advisory Board for BiBo Labs.

I love my work as an attorney.  I meet courageous people who have suffered tragic losses and want to stand up to the big companies who are responsible for their losses.  I am fortunate to help them seek the compensation they deserve.  Together we try to make our community a safer place.    A safe community is important to me as a mother.   When I'm not working I am scurrying to get to my daughters' various sporting and dance activities.  As a family, we enjoy bike rides, hiking, and movie nights at home.
