Gerry Sanchez

Gerry was born and raised in Anaheim, California. During his final year of his collegiate career, Gerry interned for the Family Law Project of the Community Legal Information Center, an undergraduate law clinic comprised of students. It was during his time with the clinic where he became passionate about the law and helping others with their legal issues. In 2013, he obtained his bachelor’s degree in History and Social Sciences from Chico State University. Later that year, Gerry moved back to Southern California and obtained his paralegal certificate from the ABA-approved Paralegal Training Program at UCLA.

Before joining the Justice Team, Gerry was a paralegal intern for the Homelessness Prevention Law Project at Public Counsel, the nation’s largest pro-bono law firm located in Los Angeles, California. Gerry has also worked in other fields of law, including, criminal defense, immigration, and worker’s compensation. Although he began working with the Simons in 2014, Gerry returned to his SLG family in 2019 and could not be happier.

In his spare time, Gerry enjoys cooking, gardening, and spending time with his partner, their two Pug-Poms and his family.
