Paralegal
Shelbee Szeto
I understand what families go through during a federal case because I've experienced it personally. That perspective shapes everything I do in supporting our clients.
As our paralegal, I handle the day-to-day coordination that keeps each client's preparation on track. From organizing documentation to providing emotional support to family members, I'm often the consistent point of contact throughout the process.

Areas of Focus
Case Management
Coordinating all aspects of client preparation, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

Providing responsive, compassionate support to clients and families throughout the process.

Meticulous preparation and organization of all required documents and filings.

My Approach
I believe that clear communication and meticulous organization are essential to successful preparation. When clients and families know what to expect and what's being done on their behalf, it reduces anxiety and builds confidence.
I work closely with Sam and Eric to ensure every client receives responsive, personalized support. Whether you have a question at 8am or need reassurance at midnight, I understand that this process doesn't follow a 9-to-5 schedule.
Based in the Bay Area, I'm part of a team that serves clients nationwide. My personal experience with the system, combined with my UC Davis education and attention to detail, allows me to provide the kind of support that makes a real difference during a difficult time.
