Maggie Cardasis focuses her practice on complex litigation and class actions with an emphasis on cybersecurity and financial services. She has extensive experience defending clients against claims asserted under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, Federal Communications Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, and related federal and state consumer protection statutes. She has obtained favorable rulings in district courts in California, Oregon, Nevada, and Arizona, as well as in California Superior Court.

Maggie writes and argues motions at all stages of litigation, takes and defends depositions, and drafts pre-trial and post-trial briefs. Her trial experience includes delivering opening statements, examining clients, and cross-examining opposing parties, experts, and witnesses.

Maggie is dedicated to her community and maintains an active pro bono practice. She recently worked on a ten-day arbitration hearing for a pro bono client serving low-income families in San Francisco’s Mission District.

Maggie is a member of the State Bar of California and the Queen’s Bench Bar Association. She serves as Chair of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Taskforce to the ABA Consumer Financial Services Committee. As Chair, Maggie has hosted widely attended CLE programs on how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated social and economic inequalities affecting racial and ethnic minority groups in America, and how the financial services industry can better serve transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming consumers. Maggie has also collaborated with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and senior centers across the country to host trainings on how to avoid elder financial fraud.

Maggie is admitted to practice in all California District Courts and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Maggie earned her J.D. from the University of California College of Law, San Francisco (formerly known as the University of California, Hastings College of the Law). During law school, she externed in the San Francisco Superior Court, served as a Senior Development Editor on the Hastings Law Journal, and was a member of the award-winning UC Hastings Moot Court Team. Maggie earned her B.A. in political science and philosophy from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
