Becky
Employment/Real Estate Attorney
One of my first cases was against a major insurance company who was accusing our clients of fraud. I’ve never seen someone treated as bad as our clients were. The way the opposing counsel acted … I thought it was reserved for documentaries from 50 years ago. This is supposed to be San Francisco in 2017!



“I got my law license in 2013 and worked off and on at a variety of places, but I always felt proscribed. After the 2016 election, though, I felt a pressing need to help effect change. I heard about Open Door Legal through my sister.

At first I was motivated by guilt and worried I wouldn’t be able to make an impact. But we can, which is rad. I feel like because I have the ability to help, I’m obligated to do so. The work is so rewarding and has meaning, more so than I could have imagined.”
