Administrative Assistant

Tania Garcia is one of our bilingual team members and has worked with the Law Offices of Hirji & Chau, LLP for over 5 years, bringing cultural sensibility, compassion, and comprehensive experience to our law firm. 

She is an Alumna from Public Allies a leadership program that provided experience and knowledge of various ways to advocate for social justice and social change, like community asset building, grassroots movements, and community service.

Her perceptions in diverse educational systems reaffirmed that receiving a quality education was dependent on one's social economic status, race, and demographics.  She learned that change was possible through her parents’ example of continuously organizing families in the promotion for cultural inclusion, and a just quality education for the public schools their children attended.  Discrimination, cultural inclusion, the continuous defunding of school districts, support for teachers, class size, zero tolerance policies, school policing, and tracking, were the problems that her parents faced and confronted.

She began advocating for parents’ and children’s rights at CADRE, by supporting parents and empowering them to have a voice at their local schools. She organized parents in taking ownership of their local schools and communities by giving them access to leadership training groups, taking action in demonstrations, public speaking, and ultimately lobbying at Los Angeles Unified School District meetings in front media outlets.

Tania brings extensive experience to Law Offices of Hirji & Chau advocating and interpreting for Spanish-speaking families. She is an integral part of the team and collaborates with legal professionals, administrative staff at school districts and provides client service in our representation of our clients. Tania works also with community based organizations and organizes community-based legal clinics such as those offered by Community Lawyers, Inc.
