Angelica M. Valdez

Paralegal

20+ years experience in Worker's Compensation

Angie Valdez has over twenty years of experience in the Workers’ Compensation arena. Her passion for working on behalf of injured workers has its roots in her childhood.

Angie is a native to the Coachella Valley, and the youngest of twelve children. At the age of 12 she picked grapes for Coachella Valley farmers. As a child, she and her parents picketed with Cesar Chavez for dignified working conditions. She was a migrant worker along with her family, traveling from the Coachella Valley to Fresno, Delano,and Madera. Angie was thankful that one of the field owners, Billy Steinberg, counseled her mother to get her out of the fields and into school. Angie also watched her parents work hard labor in the fields. She was a witness to their work injuries and fear of filing claims due to the fact they could not speak English and could not afford to lose their jobs. It is that knowledge and experience that makes her passionate to do whatever she can to assist injured workers. Her work is not a mere profession but is her calling.

In her profession as a paralegal, Angie has held numerous positions, including Intake Specialist for new clients, Vocational Rehabilitation Specialist, Case Management Specialist, Sr. Litigation Specialist, Law Office Manager, Medical Billing Clerk, and Chiropractic Office Manager. She treats injured workers with compassion, kind dignity and respect. Her Spirit, coupled with twenty plus years of experience in the Worker’s Compensation arena, has made her a perfect advocate for injured workers.
