About Cora
Biography
My mission is to help you achieve a better tomorrow. This could be through a big real estate deal or a simple lease agreement.
No matter the type of legal issue, my focus is on achieving a better tomorrow for you. This is why I practice law.
Cora's practice consists primarily of complex real estate transactions, easements, leases, purchase and sale contracts, and business contract work including limited liability companies, limited partnerships, and business agreements.
Cora joined Malek + Malek in 2019 after working for six years as a transactional associate attorney at a large law firm in Spokane, Washington. Cora graduated Summa Cum Laude from Gonzaga University School of Law. While in law school, Cora worked as a clerk for Lukins and Annis PS, was an editor for the Gonzaga Law Review, and held a judicial externship with Judge Kathleen O’Connor (retired) at the Spokane County Superior Court.
Prior to law school, Cora graduated Summa Cum Laude from Washington State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.
