Theresa C Becerra

I was born and raised in the Silver Lake / East Hollywood area of Los Angeles.  I attended UCLA for college where I majored in History.  I then went on to attend law school at UCLA as well.  I practiced law for almost 13 years with a major international law firm based in Washington D.C. - focusing my practice on construction litigation and complex business litigation.  Throughout my tenure at that law firm, I also volunteered with the Orange County Public Law Center, where I handled family law cases exclusively.  After starting my family, I left the large international firm in search of some work/life balance now that my children are young.  I started a small firm, later joining my practice with Pahl & McCay, which is based in San Jose.  Here at Pahl & McCay, I continue to focus my practice on construction and general business litigation matters and family law matters.  I have also helped to nurture and expand Pahl & McCay's well-known fair housing law practice here in Southern California over the last several years.
