We’re proud to announce that Candelaria LLP partner Alice Cheng served as guest co-editor for the July 2024 issue of the Contra Costa Lawyer magazine, titled “The Restraining Order Issue.” Alice collaborated with an incredible team on the Editorial Board, bringing her insight and legal expertise to this essential publication. As she notes, the experience provided a welcome creative outlet to write and edit, along with a meaningful opportunity to contribute to the legal community.

Alice’s co-editorship marks a significant milestone as the issue tackles critical topics that resonate with both attorneys and the public. At Candelaria LLP, we understand the real-world impacts of legal protections, and we’re honored to have had two of our team members contribute to this important discussion.

Attorney Alyssa Daatio authored a compelling article, “Safeguarding California's Elderly and Dependent Adults through Protective Proceedings and Protective Orders.” Alyssa’s piece addresses the importance of protective proceedings in safeguarding California’s vulnerable adults—a topic close to our hearts as we continue to support families and individuals across the Bay Area.

Our team at Candelaria LLP—serving Walnut Creek, Oakland, San Diego, and beyond—applauds Alice and Alyssa’s dedication. We believe their efforts will support and inform attorneys, clients, and the greater community.

Thank you, Contra Costa County Bar Association for publishing the Contra Costa Lawyer Magazine, and for the opportunity to contribute to such a valuable issue!
