Aida brings a rare and powerful combination of medical and legal experience to every case she handles. As both a registered nurse and an accomplished personal injury and medical malpractice attorney, she offers her clients a level of insight and advocacy that few others can match. Before entering the legal field, Aida spent over a decade working as a registered nurse in hospitals across San Diego practicing in critical care and women’s health.
Applying her extensive clinical expertise to the law, Aida first began her legal career defending some of New England's largest healthcare systems. She then went on to work with the largest health care staffing company in the country, handling both healthcare professional licensing issues and serious medical negligence matters.
Her transition into representing plaintiffs was driven by a passion for justice and advocacy. She trained under one of the most respected medical malpractice attorneys in San Diego, gaining firsthand experience in complex litigation and trial strategy. She went on to practice at a prominent personal injury firm, where she further refined her skills in representing plaintiffs in cases involving catastrophic injuries, medical errors, and wrongful death.
Today, Aida is widely recognized as a fierce and compassionate advocate for injured individuals. She leverages her dual nursing legal background to hold negligent providers, hospitals, and insurance companies accountable—securing millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for her clients.
