Our Attorneys in San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico

In all our matters, Antonio Maldonado and William Markham chart the underlying strategy and perform the essential legal analysis. If the client agrees in advance, we sometimes associate with other attorneys in our larger matters or delegate certain simple tasks to a junior attorney who performs the work at a lower hourly rate under the direct supervision of Mr. Maldonado or Mr. Markham. We associate only with attorneys who have excellent backgrounds and meet our professional standards.

Mr. Markham is the firm's lead litigator, and he also supervises our litigation group, which employs one associate attorney, other attorneys for specific assiignments when appropriate, one paralegal who is in her third year of law school, and two paralegals who are graduates of the same law school in Mexico. Our associate litigator is Caroline Robert, who is a recent graduate of University of San Diego Law School (2007). She obtained high grades in law school, already has courtroom experience, and is fluent in French and Spanish. She works under Mr. Markham's direct supervision.

In our litigation group we also employ three paralegals who are fully bilingual in English and Spanish and have excellent legal training: Jennifer Ordorica holds a law degree from a Mexican law school, Universidad Autónoma de Baja California, and she works in our litigation group as Mr. Markham's principal assistant. Dolores Contreras is a third-year law student at California Western Law School as well as a recent graduate of the University of California, San Diego, and she works part-time as a paralegal assistant in our litigation group. Laura Avila holds a law degree from Universidad Autónoma de Baja California and works in our litigation group as a paralegal assistant. These three paralegals are capable, intelligent, trained to work on litigation matters, and fully bilingual. In addition, Mr. Markham sometimes collaborates with other attorneys in certain of his larger matters, and he can readily assemble a team of first-rate litigators for the largest efforts that require more substantial staffing.

Mr. Maldonado is the firm's lead attorney for transactional work and business immigration, and he also employs one associate attorney, other attorneys when appropriate for specific assignments, and a team of excellent paralegals.
