Kristin Berry, San Diego Recruiter:
Kristin was a litigation paralegal for several years with
one of the largest plaintiffs’ law firms in the country.
After leaving the law firm environment, she worked in-house
for a well-known hi-tech company as part of their litigation
team. The transition from paralegal to recruiter came naturally
because she was able to use her legal background as a foundation
for legal experience and law firm requirements. Prior to founding
Legal Ease in the fall of 2002, she had worked with another
staffing agency. She is a seasoned recruiter with several
years of experience and understands the demands of legal support
personnel, the law firm culture and client expectations.
Kristin graduated with a BA degree in Sociology and minor
in Law & Society from the University of California at
San Diego. Upon graduating with her BA, she completed the
ABA Paralegal Program at the University of San Diego. Through
the University of San Diego’s employment assistance
program, she was able to begin her career as a Paralegal.
Additionally, Kristin is a board member and alumni for the
USD Paralegal Alumni Association, a member of the San Diego
Legal Secretaries Association, San Diego Paralegal Association
and the Los Angeles Legal Secretary Association. In her spare
time she is an active volunteer and supporter of the San Diego
Humane Society and the American Cancer Society.
Karen Whitaker, San Jose/Peninsula Recruiter/Branch Manager:
Karen's experience as a legal secretary and executive assistant
laid the groundwork for her success as a staffing specialist
in the legal arena. Her prior work history has given her an
understanding of the inner workings of major Silicon Valley
law firms and corporate legal departments. Prior to joining
Legal Ease, Karen has worked as a legal recruiter within the
bay area for several years.
Karen earned a BA degree in Marketing at St. Mary's University,
Moraga, California. She is a member of PALSA and PASCCO.
Gina B. Domizio, San Francisco and East Bay Recruiter:
Gina began her legal career as a paralegal in South Florida. After several years working in a variety of practice areas, she moved to Manhattan and joined one of New York’s leading international law firms as a litigation paralegal. Two years later she moved with several of the partners and associates to assist in the opening of a branch office in the Bay Area. Gina continued her career with the NY-based law firm for almost a decade and came to manage the attorney recruiting and paralegal departments.
Gina received her Bachelor of Science degree in Journalism from the University of Florida and also earned a Paralegal Certificate from Santa Fe Community College’s ABA-approved program.
