About Brittany
Brittany Ricketts practices law in California and brings a straightforward approach to client work. She earned her J.D. from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2020 after completing a B.A. at Santa Clara University in 2016, where she studied marketing, communication and ethnic studies. The combination of social science and law provides a practical base for how she frames legal problems and advises clients.
After law school, Ricketts entered practice during a period of rapid change in family law and courtroom procedures. Early work involved courtroom filings, client intake, and drafting pleadings. Those tasks sharpened her procedural skills and taught a lot about managing case timelines and expectations. She has kept her practice in California, where she is admitted to the bar and available to take matters in state courts.
Ricketts has maintained professional membership in relevant associations and participates in the regular activities they offer. That involvement keeps her aware of evolving rules and practice trends. It also connects her to peers who handle related issues like child custody evaluations, spousal support calculations, and family property division. Her background in communication and marketing also informs how she communicates complex ideas to clients and opposing counsel.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparing case files and clear when explaining options to clients. She balances attention to detail with a practical sense of what a client needs at each stage—from initial filings through settlement discussions or trial preparation. In court, she focuses on presenting the facts simply and persuasively. Outside the courtroom, she emphasizes clear client communication and timely updates.
Ricketts currently practices at Modern Family Law, where her work centers on family law matters, including divorce, custody, and related domestic issues. Her practice handles both contested and uncontested matters and aims to guide clients through each procedural step. She continues to work in California courts and keep current with changes in family law practice.
