Cindy McClelen

Senior Paralegal

Cindy McClelen brings more than a decade of family law experience to her work with
clients navigating dissolution, child custody, and related financial issues. As a senior paralegal, she supports individuals and families through some of the most personal and complex stages of the legal process by helping them organize information, understand
documentation needs, and move their matters forward with care, clarity, and attention to
detail.

Cindy earned her B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Denver and
later received her Juris Doctor degree from the Monterey College of Law. Her business
background, combined with experience in consumer protection, personal injury, and
business litigation, gives her a strong foundation for managing the financial and
procedural details that often arise in family law matters. She works directly with clients
to prepare financial disclosures, identify necessary information and documents, and
support the dissolution process from preparation through trial.

Cindy has also provided courtroom support for more than a dozen multiple-day trials,
including coordinating experts, managing witnesses, and preparing exhibits. Outside of
her legal work, she has volunteered with several child- and young adult-focused
organizations. While in law school, she volunteered as a Big Sister and later as a Court
Appointed Special Advocate, advocating for foster children in court. More recently, she
mentored juniors and seniors at Diamond Technology Institute High School, offering
guidance on college preparation and future employment.
