A DEDICATED TEAM

One of the things that makes Paulding Law special is the complementary blend of skills that both Jimmy and Kendra Paulding bring to the table.

Jimmy brings exceptional skills and experience to the practice. In 2016, Jimmy obtained his Juris Doctor degree from the Santa Barbara College of Law after a career working as a city/regional planner, project manager, and area manager for nationally and internationally renowned architectural, engineering, and construction management companies. Jimmy obtained his undergraduate degree in City and Regional Planning from Cal Poly SLO in 2008.

In 2018, Jimmy was elected to serve a four year term on the Arroyo Grande City Council, and in 2022, he was elected to serve a four year term on the San Luis Obispo County Board of Supervisors.

Because of Jimmy’s expertise in estate planning, business law, client relations, communication, management, leadership, and dispute resolution, you can be confident he will advise you with the right legal solutions to address your needs.

As Office Manager, Kendra brings a strong professional background to the practice. Also a Cal Poly SLO graduate (B.S. Business Finance) and former financial advisor at Morgan Stanley, Kendra provides top notch office management and services to our clients.
