Staff

Our staff is experienced, reliable, and personable, with our two longest-tenured staff members having had a combined experience of nearly 40 years with our firm.

Kathleen Caveney, our office manager, has been with our firm for 21 years. Kathy graduated from San Jose State University in 1996 with a B.S. degree in Business Administration (Management), having received highest honors (summa cum laude) upon graduation, and was one of three finalists for the Alpha Al Sirat award (presented to the outstanding graduate majoring in business who is judged “likely to achieve outstanding success” in a chosen career) from the School of Business Administration. Kathy began with the firm as a paralegal and administrative assistant and brings substantial skill and experience to her work in these areas. For over a decade, she has focused on and has skillfully handled all non-lawyer management aspects of running a busy law practice.

Tanya Mallory, paralegal and lead administrative assistant, has been with our firm for 18 years. Tanya is highly skilled at handling all administrative aspects of working with the multiple courts and agencies with which we work, including the California Secretary of State, the Patent and Trademark Office, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and numerous federal and state courts within and without California. She is, in general, a mainstay of our office as one who is continually available – and always efficient and helpful – for the benefit of our attorneys, our clients, and generally anyone having contact with our firm.
