Jacki Ritchie

Starting a family law case often brings a sudden flood of court deadlines and paperwork, and it can be hard to know where to begin. As a Senior Paralegal II, Jacki excels at taking that complicated process and making it manageable. With a background that spans family law, real estate, corporate matters, and estate planning, she brings a calm, steady hand and straightforward communication to every case she touches.

Jacki earned her Associate of Science in Paralegal Studies from San Diego Miramar College, an ABA-approved program. When working with clients, she starts by simply listening and understanding where they are coming from. If a court requirement feels overwhelming, she pauses, talks it through, and breaks the project down into small, practical steps. Whether walking someone through the initial 42-day financial disclosure window or organizing a case file, she helps clients focus on what needs to happen today instead of worrying about hypothetical scenarios down the road.

Personal life experiences led Jacki to family law, and she knows firsthand that open, honest communication is what truly makes a legal team work. By staying closely connected with both her clients and the firm’s attorneys, she makes sure every detail is taken care of and that clients always know where their case stands.

What you may not know: Outside the office, Jacki is a huge live music fan who catches concerts whenever she can. During her downtime, she loves being near the water, relaxing at the beach, and spending time with friends.
