Prior to joining Christy & Keith Family Law Group, Ms. FitzGerald was an associate with Winter & Ross, a premier San Francisco-based family law firm, where she represented high net worth clients with a focus on complex marital estates. Prior to that, she was an associate at ADZ Law, LLP, where she represented victims of intimate partner abuse in high conflict domestic violence cases. There, she honed her courtroom skills and developed a penchant for advocating fiercely on behalf of clients and their families, oftentimes when their personal safety was at risk.

Shifting her practice to estate planning and probate, she later served as a research attorney for the San Mateo County Superior Court while maintaining a private practice with a boutique probate litigation firm. She has been practicing family law exclusively since 2018.

While still in law school, Ms. FitzGerald served on the Executive Board of Community Legal Services at McGeorge School of Law as a student-attorney where she made administrative court appearances in EDD cases and represented clients on family law and housing matters. She also interned with California Indian Legal Services, the Tenderloin Childcare Center, and the Department of Personnel Administration. She maintains her commitment to community legal service, having regularly volunteered for the San Mateo Superior Court Family Law pro-per status conference calendar and now serving as Secretary of the Executive Board of the Women Lawyers Section of the San Mateo County Bar Association. She has long been a volunteer and a proud member of local school executive boards.
