Ms. Pagán, Senior Associate Attorney, joined D’Andre Law at their San Jose office in 2014.

As a consequence of her tenacity, Ms. Pagán excels at thorough claim analysis and complex, multi-party litigation. With her experience in taking detailed depositions, she knows how to utilize deposition testimony to advance affirmative defenses.

While in law school, Ms. Pagán volunteered as a law clerk at the East San Jose Community Law Center through Santa Clara University School of Law. As a law clerk, Ms. Pagán helped provide pro bono legal representation of low-income individuals with various types of legal concerns—including workers’ compensation, employment wages and hours, and consumer protection/unfair practices.
