About Nancy J.
Nancy J. Wallace earned her law degree from Western State College of Law at Argosy University in 1985. She completed her legal studies during a decade marked by change in California courts. The J.D. set the stage for a long career that has combined private practice, short stints at firms, and service to the local court system.
Early in her career Wallace worked in firm settings. Her first recorded position after law school was at Parker & Dally in 1987. She moved on to Mark & Bolson in 1991 and later joined Kegel Tobin & Truce in 1995. Those years gave her exposure to litigation and client representation across a variety of matters. In 1996 she opened her own practice, Nancy Wallace, Lawyer at Law, establishing a base in the San Bernardino area and continuing solo work thereafter.
Public service has been part of Wallace's professional life. In 1998 she served as Judge Pro Tem in the Small Claims Court for the County of San Bernardino Superior Court. That role placed her on the bench for short-term judicial duties and offered a direct view of how smaller civil disputes are resolved at the county level. The experience added a courtroom perspective that has informed her approach as an attorney.
Wallace is admitted to practice in California and in the Federal Circuit. Over the years she has maintained ties to local and national legal communities. She holds memberships in the San Bernardino County Bar Association, the American Bar Association, Calif. Applicants Lawyers Association, and has been listed in Lawyers of Distinction since 2017. These affiliations reflect steady participation in professional networks rather than public leadership roles.
Her practice has long been anchored in the Inland Empire region. She operates from offices in the Grand Terrace Professional Plaza and the San Bernardino Mountains. Those locations connect her to clients in suburban and mountain communities and keep her practice geographically focused. Colleagues and court records show a lawyer who has balanced solo practice with intermittent court appointments and ongoing bar association involvement.
Wallace's career reads as a mix of courtroom exposure, firm experience, and independent practice. She has continued to work in the same general region since launching her firm in 1996 and has remained active in bar groups that address local and statewide legal issues. Her current practice handles small-claims matters and accepts cases in both California and the Federal Circuit, operating from offices in Grand Terrace and the San Bernardino Mountains.
