Legal Assistant
​

VERONICA RUBIO
​Veronica is our firms' Legal Assistant. Veronica obtained her Bachelor of Science Degree in May of 2014 at San Diego State University. She is bi-lingual (Spanish/English) and is likely the first voice one will hear when one contacts our firm. Her work at McNamara Law Firm as well as the Contra Costa County Office of the Public Defender gave Veronica the tools and training necessary to thrive under the demands of being a legal assistant. We are thrilled that Veronica chose to join our firm and help support our families through the emotional strain of their family law case. 

Veronica lives in Contra Costa County. When she's not helping our clients she is checking out local food trucks and spending time with her family.

Kimille is a graduate of Norfolk State University where she earned her Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology. During her undergraduate years, she also studied Music and Education. Prior to joining the team, Kimille worked as an Educator and she continues to be a passionate advocate for early learning and Education.

As a Case Manager, Kimille acts as a liaison between Attorneys and our clients and assists them with tracking the progression of cases while helping to ensure that all necessary documents are effectively collected, organized, and managed. Her attention to detail and ability to multitask is exceptional. As soon as you begin working with Kimille her passion for helping our families is undeniable.  Our firm is lucky to have her. During her leisure time, Kimille enjoys being curled up with a good book or movie, listening to music, singing/performing, traveling, and of most of all, spending time with her family and close friends.

Senior Paralegal

DAWN CHRISTENSEN
Dawn joined our team in January of 2021. She has 25 years of California Paralegal experience and is a Bay Area native. Prior to obtaining her degree from UC Berkeley, she worked as a clerk for the Contra Costa County Superior Court in both the Family Law and Juvenile Divisions. Her inside knowledge of how the Courts operate is a huge benefit to our attorneys and our clients. 

Dawn discovered her passion for serving her community in the legal field after she was forced to navigate her own family law matter as a young adult while caring for her young child; she therefore intimately knows the struggles facing our clients during this very difficult and confusing process. Nevertheless, she came out on the other side stronger and went on to create and host an international radio talk show in 2018 while simultaneously continuing to work as a family law paralegal and feeding her passion.  Dawn currently lives in Danville with her family and on her spare time enjoys spending time with her grandkids and going on long rides on her motorcycle.
