About Cris Campbell
Cris Campbell Vaughan began her legal path at the University of the Pacific’s McGeorge School of Law. She completed her legal education there and went on to obtain admission to practice in both California and Nevada. Her training at McGeorge provided a foundation in courtroom procedure, statutory analysis and client counseling.
After law school, Vaughan built a practice that spans two states. She is licensed in California and Nevada, and her work often requires managing matters that touch both jurisdictions. That bi-state experience has shaped how she sets priorities, schedules hearings and coordinates filings. It also means she is familiar with differences in local rules and calendar practices that affect day-to-day case management.
Vaughan’s work covers a range of routine and complex tasks that lawyers handle for their clients. She prepares pleadings and administrative filings, advises clients on procedural options, and represents them at hearings when required. She also spends significant time preparing factual records and working with experts when cases require technical input. Her cases have ranged from straightforward contested matters to multi-step administrative processes.
Colleagues describe Vaughan as pragmatic and exacting. She favors clear lines of communication and a step-by-step approach to problem solving. In practice that often looks like early triage to identify deadlines, careful drafting to avoid procedural missteps, and focused preparation before hearings. She balances litigation tasks with client counseling, explaining the practical consequences of different legal choices rather than relying on abstract arguments.
Vaughan works out of Vaughan & Associates, where she serves a diverse client base across California and Nevada. She manages matters that require coordination across state lines and adapts to differences in local practice. She currently practices at Vaughan & Associates, handling legal matters for clients in California and Nevada.
