Kara Rachel Weisman

As a bilingual trial attorney, Kara represents a diversity of clients in their native English and Spanish languages. Propelled by her ongoing desire to couple her passion for Latin American culture with the law, she worked for San Mateo Superior Court and helped Spanish-speaking litigants overcome barriers to justice.

During law school, Kara took a particular interest in international commercial arbitration in Spain. Her research culminated in the publication of her work in an international trade journal. The international experience she acquired while working at Allende & Brea, one of Argentina’s most prestigious law firms, complements the multifaceted background which precedes her; including work for the District Attorney’s Office, the Superior Court of California, and Qualcomm.

At the Law Office of Robert B. Jobe, Kara brings forth legal expertise as an attorney for cases involving asylum, deportation and criminal law.
