Protecting Legacies, Transforming Communities

Hi, I’m Aida!

I'm a lawyer, policy advocate, community builder, and mom who believes in fighting for what's right. My path has always been guided by a simple truth: our communities deserve better - better legal support, better policies, and better opportunities to protect what matters most.

Colibri is an ode to my Oaxacan ancestors: my great grandmother Zenaida, my grandmother Guadalupe, and my mother Aida. They live in my spirit and fuel my advocacy for my clients.

I come from a strong immigrant family and was in raised southeast Los Angeles. I call myself a Californian because I have lived all over California and began my career in the Central Valley.

I have had the privilege to work under policy and legal giants like former California Supreme Court Justice Cruz Reynoso, for members of Congress, for State Elected officials, and most recently as a Chief of Staff to a City Councilmember.

I spent my law school years working for impact litigation civil rights organizations where I learned the power of strategic policy advocacy combined with litigation strategy. I now bring a combined 20 year career in public policy and legal advocacy.

My every day work is fueled by the families and organizational clients that I serve. Thank you so much for trusting me as your attorney and strategist.
