OUR LEGAL TEAM
MISHA L. DUNFORD - ATTORNEY & FOUNDER
She is originally from Walnut Creek, California, but was raised in Dayton, Ohio. Ms. Dunford obtained her Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Dayton in 1999 with a major in Communication/Public Relations. Ms. Dunford also obtained her teaching credential and was a high school English teacher for several years. As a teacher, Ms. Dunford was exposed to many of the familial challenges and adversities that her students had to endure on a daily basis.

She ultimately decided that working as an attorney would be that mechanism for change. Ms. Dunford obtained her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Dayton in 2007 and became a member of the California State Bar that same year.
