Ogawa Plaza, Suite 500, and specializes in workers' compensation cases throughout the state. Speers has been a member of the State Bar of California since 2002, demonstrating her long-standing commitment to the legal profession. Her expertise in workers' compensation law is underscored by her certification as a specialist in this field, a credential granted by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization. In 2002, Speers earned her Juris Doctor from the University of San Francisco School of Law, where she developed a strong foundation in legal principles.
Prior to her law degree, she obtained a Bachelor of Science in Political Science and Communications from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1999. This educational background gave her a unique perspective on the intersection of law and public policy. During her time in law school, she clerked for Wiggins, Richard & Romano, where she worked in litigation for employers, public entities, and third-party administrators, focusing particularly on appellate work. After passing the bar in 2002, Speers joined Wiggins, Richard & Romano as an associate attorney — Her tenure there allowed her to hone her skills in workers' compensation law. In 2004, she transitioned to Adelson, Testan, Brundo, Novell & Jimenez in San Francisco. Her dedication and leadership abilities led to her promotion to managing attorney in 2007 and subsequently to managing partner in 2009.
This role provided her with experience in managing complex cases and leading a team of attorneys. In 2018, Speers made a significant career move by joining Boxer+Gerson, bringing her experience to the plaintiff side of workers' compensation law. Her transition reflects a commitment to advocating for injured workers and ensuring they receive the benefits they deserve. Beyond her legal practice, she is an active member of the Alameda County Bar Association and the California Applicants' Attorneys Association. In 2008, she served as legal counsel for the San Francisco Industrial Claims Association, further solidifying her involvement in the legal community. Outside of her professional life, Speers is married to a Workers' Compensation Appeals Board judge, which adds a unique dimension to her understanding of the legal field.
The couple has a young daughter, and Speers values the flexibility that Boxer+Gerson offers its attorneys. This flexibility allows her to balance her professional commitments with her family life effectively. Fluent in English and conversational in Spanish, she is well-equipped to serve clients, enhancing her ability to connect with clients from various backgrounds.
