McManis Faulkner, a leading Northern California trial firm, announces the elevation of Pallie Zambrano to senior counsel.
“This promotion to senior counsel is a reflection of Pallie’s rapidly growing influence in the firm and in the Family Law Group, which was voted the best by the Northern legal community,” said James McManis, head of the firm. “Pallie’s compassion benefits her clients and the children aided by The Pajama Program, whom she works tirelessly for and has inspired the whole firm to support.”
A member of the Family Law Group, Zambrano counsels clients regarding restraining orders, property division, and custody and support issues. Also, experienced in civil litigation, she has argued motions in Superior Courts in all nine Bay Area counties.
In addition to her legal practice, Zambrano is involved in a number of professional and community organizations, including the Santa Clara County Bar Association. She is the co-president of the Northern California chapter of The Pajama Program, a non-profit group that collects new pajamas and books for children in shelters. Zambrano earned her J.D. from the Santa Clara University School of Law (1999) and her B.A., cum laude, from Santa Jose State University (1994).
