Bio:

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts Degree (French literature) from the State University of New York at Stony Brook (1991) and a Juris Doctorate from Santa Clara University School of Law (1996).

My work experience includes over 25 years as a litigation attorney and I am a founding partner of the firm of Gates Eisenhart Dawson.

As it pertains to water, and for the last 15 years, I have represented a privately held water company in Santa Clara County, successfully navigating its varied litigation needs. In working closely with the utility, I am quite versed with the practices – and politics – associated with the CPUC’s GRC purposes and procedures. More information on my qualifications can be found at www.gedlaw.com.

In maintaining my ties with my alma mater, I have both created and taught law courses at Santa Clara University School of Law.

Over the years, I have served on a number of boards and in various organizations, including serving as a board member for a local chapter of the ACLU of Northern California, assisting the H.E.L.P. Division (Homelessness Prevention Eviction Law Project), serving as a Judge Pro Tem and Judicial Arbitrator for the Santa Clara County Superior Court, serving as a Commissioner on the MPWMD Redistricting Advisory Commission and providing free MCLE programs through the Monterey County Bar Association, of which I am a member.
