Monica Cruz

Trust Administration Paralegal

Monica joins our team with over 25 years of paralegal experience. She spent 15 years working with the top law firms in San Diego in the international tax and cross-border corporate areas. In 2021, she began helping a family friend navigate the complex rules of trust administration and it took over a year.  She realized how much she enjoyed this area of law, so in 2025 she pivoted to trust administration. 

Born in Los Angeles, Monica was raised in Mexico until her family moved permanently to San Diego when she was in 5th grade.  Monica holds a Bachelor’s degree from UCSD and a paralegal certificate from USD, both local San Diego universities.   When she’s not hiking the mountains of San Diego with her husband, Monica is in a yoga studio practicing yoga or teaching yoga at various studios around San Diego.
