Gibbs Law Group is thrilled to announce that our attorney Simone White has been appointed the Northern California Co-Chair of Membership and Outreach for the Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC) Diversity Committee.

As Membership and Outreach Co-Chair for Northern California, Simone plans to reach out to law schools to connect with diverse law students entering the profession in order to explain the role of California consumer attorneys in litigation and the legal field. Simone aims to connect with minority and women-owned law firms to invite owners to speak on panels as well as increase representation in CAOC membership. Simone also wants to use her position to connect with younger attorneys to provide more opportunities to delve into consumer law practice and work on cases.
