What can I solve for you?

I help school districts and educational institutions navigate complex legal challenges— whether it’s defending against litigation, responding to Public Records Act requests, or advising on governance and compliance issues. My goal is to provide practical, timely solutions that focus on serving students and the community.

What's it like to work with me?

I’m highly responsive, easygoing, and focused on solving my clients’ issues. I take pride in being someone clients can count on to get the work done—on time, with care, and with precision. As someone who personally benefited from public education, I approach this work with a deep sense of purpose. Supporting school districts is more than just a job to me—it’s my way of giving back.

“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” – Robert Frost

Overview

Roda Saoor is an education law attorney who represents school districts and public education agencies across California in litigation, governance, and compliance matters, including Public Records Act requests and student discipline. She brings a strong commitment to equity and a passion for serving underrepresented communities, informed by her prior work in dependency law representing foster youth and in nonprofit legal services supporting survivors of human trafficking and immigrant communities.

Before joining F3, Roda served as a policy intern with the Children’s Advocacy Institute and was actively involved in advocacy during law school. She was a representative for Advocates for Children and Education and served on the editorial board of the International Law Journal at the University of San Diego School of Law. Her diverse background adds a thoughtful, client-centered perspective to her work supporting educational institutions.

Roda moved to the United States in eighth grade and experienced firsthand the opportunities that strong public schools can provide. Her work is driven by deep gratitude for the educators and institutions that shaped her journey—and by a commitment to ensuring that all students have access to the same support and opportunities.

After School

I love to travel and have visited countries across five different continents. Exploring new

places helps me recharge and gives me a broader perspective and appreciation for our

planet. I’m especially drawn to nature and water—whether it’s hiking, being by the ocean,

or just sightseeing. On weekends, I enjoy exploring San Diego by checking out new coffee

shops with my little sister.
