Overview

Lilianna Romero advises California public school districts in special education, student services and labor and employment matters. She excels at thinking on her feet and solving problems as they come up. In addition, Lilianna enjoys delving deep into complex and novel legal issues and plotting innovative strategies to resolve them quickly and effectively. She files due process complaints on behalf of her school clients and advocates for districts in cases when parents file complaints against the district. She handles every step of the process, including analyzing whether potential issues of liability exist, writing motions and prepping witnesses for hearings.

In her role as investigator, Lilianna enjoys working with clients to improve the lives of district employees by helping them feel safe and supported on the job. She also finds it gratifying to examine whether the services being provided to specific special education students are the right ones to help them achieve success.

Drawing on her outstanding people and communication skills to make people feel comfortable, Lilianna gathers important information from witnesses, diffuses contentious interactions, and relieves clients’ anxieties about difficult challenges. She firmly believes that kindness and empathy accomplish much more than acrimony and rancor.

Before joining F3 Law, Lilianna worked for a Bay Area law office focused on labor and employment issues, where she handled plaintiff-side wage and hour class action cases. The experience gave her valuable insight that allows her to advance her current clients’ best interests. During law school, Lilianna participated in immigration law and workers’ rights clinics, where she represented unaccompanied minors in their asylum interviews.
