Ms. Medina graduated from Montclair State University, cum laude, with a double concentration of Bachelor of Arts in Justice Studies and Paralegal Studies (minors in Environmental Justice and Family Justice). In college, she was inspired by a professor to attend law school while working on an environmental justice project that involved the study of lead poisoning in inner cities. Since then, she wanted to advocate for people in need. While in college, she interned as a family legal assistant in a sole-practitioner law firm.

Ms. Medina attended Rutgers Law School in Newark, New Jersey.

Ms. Medina graduated with over 600 pro bono hours.

After law school, Ms. Medina successfully completed a family law clerkship at the Morris County Superior Court, where she handled family and matrimonial disputes.

Alongside working as a litigator, Ms. Medina worked as a networking attorney and connected with over 100 business owners to increase business for a sole-practitioner’s law firm. Then, she worked as a litigator for insurance defense litigation, which gives her a unique background of seeing both perspectives of arguments in personal injury litigation. Currently, Ms. Medina works as co-manager and handles litigation for personal injury cases. She enjoys helping those in need during difficult times in their lives and advocating on their behalf.
