also known as Dania Marie Alvarenga
If you are going through Avvo looking for an attorney its because you are probably facing a difficult legal situation. Whether you are confused about how to start your company, are facing a court date, or have read and re-read a contract many times without understanding it, legal challenges are never easy. I'm here to help. I have extensive experience advising small to mid-sized businesses throughout California. I specialize in corporate and employment law.
On the corporate side I can help you writing contracts, negotiating contracts, and solving problems within your company. On the employment side I can help you deal with employees, write handbooks and procedures, advise you on company policy and provide presentations to your staff to make sure you are keeping up with the law.
I also litigate cases in federal and state courts and before the Labor Commissioner.
I graduated from UCLA in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science. In 2005, I completed a study abroad program where I studied International Business Law at Nanterre University in Paris. I received my law degree from Santa Clara University in 2006.
As a business owner, I know the challenges businesses face in a difficult economy. Because of this, I work very closely with my clients assuring the services provided are cost effective and within their budget.
I love to solve legal problems. Law is my passion. I look forward to helping you solve your legal challenges and problems in a cost effective and creative way.
