About Arkady
Arkady Itkin graduated from San Francisco State University with a B.A. in philosophy in 2001 and earned his J.D. from the University of the Pacific in 2004. He moved from undergraduate studies into law school without a long break. Those early years shaped his interest in courtroom procedure and the practical work of litigation.
He began his legal career as a paralegal at Choulos, Choulos & Wyle in 2001. The role gave him early exposure to case preparation and client files. After law school he served as a law clerk for Union Pacific Railroad Company in 2005. That position involved research and drafting on corporate and regulatory matters tied to the railroad industry.
Itkin is licensed to practice in California. He has maintained ties to the state's legal community through a mix of in-house and private-practice experiences. His background combines hands-on litigation support with clerkship work for a major transportation company.
In the mid-2000s he joined several professional organizations. Records show membership in the California Employment Lawyers Association and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association during 2007–2008. He was also listed with the American Bar Association and the Sacramento County Bar Association in the same period. Those memberships placed him in circles that emphasize employment law and civil trial advocacy.
Over time Itkin has handled matters that intersect employment disputes and civil litigation. He has experience preparing briefs, managing discovery, and assisting at hearings. Colleagues describe him as methodical in legal research and steady in case management. He prefers clear, direct communication with clients and opposing counsel.
He works out of offices in San Francisco and Sacramento. He divides his time between those locations, taking work that involves courtroom appearances and negotiated resolutions. He currently practices from the San Francisco and Sacramento offices, concentrating on employment and civil trial matters.
