Kathleen Gadalla
Grace Legal Offices, PLLC
Kathleen is the Founder of Grace Legal Offices. For Kathleen, Grace Legal Office’s family and criminal law practice is more than a professional choice. The law is her calling and she is a strong advocate for her clients. She has a profound belief, based on her educational experience and legal experience, that those facing the most trying legal circumstances deserve more than just a good lawyer. They are entitled to be treated with compassion, transparency, and for Kathleen, the dignity that stems from her deep Christian faith.
Kathleen’s invaluable experience in criminal defense and family law was established in the years she spent in practice before becoming a licensed lawyer. During that productive period, she served as a clerk and interned with the San Diego Public Defenders office for three consecutive years where she gained the experience she now brings to her clients’ cases.
Kathleen attended the University of California in Merced and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with an emphasis in American Politics and a minor in Cognitive Science. While attending college, she was on the Dean’s Honor Roll for three consecutive years.
She earned her Juris Doctor from the University of San Diego with a concentration in Criminal Litigation. While there, she was awarded the Warren Family Scholarship in 2016-2017 and the USD Academic Scholarship in 2015-2016.
Kathleen is humbled that individuals choose her to guide them through their issues and allow her to comfort them when they are in the most challenging moments of their lives. She genuinely loves being an attorney because she not only helps people solve complex legal issues, but she solves real-life problems that anyone can face at any point in time during their life. Kathleen values being in her clients’ lives when times are the toughest for them and truly believes that being an attorney is the most trying yet rewarding career.

- Q. Where can I find a good pro Bono lawyer?
- A: If you are charged with a crime/crimes that serve penalties you have a right under the sixth amendment to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you at no cost if you qualify financially. Without knowing the charge/charges and your financial status, I cannot answer if you are entitled to an appointed attorney, usually a public defender.
