Valerie Michelle Garcia

Associate Attorney

Cincinnati, Ohio, United States

About

I am an attorney recently admitted to the Ohio bar, with a UBE score sufficient for admission in any UBE jurisdiction. My experience includes judicial internships, litigation-focused paralegal work involving in-depth discovery and case management, and clerkships with Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies’ Workers’ Compensation Department. After beginning my legal career as an ABA-certified paralegal, I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Cincinnati College of Law. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and value client-facing work that requires clear communication and thoughtful advocacy. I am experienced in document review, legal research, and legal writing. My professional goal is to practice employment law and workers’ compensation in the long-term.
