After receiving her B.A. in Anthropology from the University of California Berkeley, she entered the Paralegal Program at West Valley Community College while working as a receptionist for the Law firm of Bosso Williams and then as a legal secretary for the Law Office of Thompson Kontz and Brenner. From there she made the transition to the public sector to work for the Santa Cruz Superior Court as a Deputy Clerk in the Civil-Probate Division. While finishing up her paralegal certificate and A.S. degree, she then transitioned back into her field as the paralegal for the Law Office of Emily J. Buchbinder, where she has been since they opened their doors in December of 2015. When she isn’t working, Justine enjoys hiking in the Santa Cruz Mountains and going on adventures with friends.
