ReBecca Calhoon
Becca started working at Flack Law in 2018 as the office administrator, quickly making an impact on our systems and processes (and office morale with her endless supply of candy). Becca has since graduated from Santa Rosa Junior College with an A.A. in Paralegal Studies and received a notary public commission. She views her role as a paralegal as integral to increasing access to justice for clients of all backgrounds. While Becca’s interest in law is not as immediately obvious as her obsession with all-things-Halloween, she is dedicated to serving the community. Becca has volunteered to serve meals to vulnerable populations through the Petaluma Regional Library Summer Lunch Program and Petaluma Meals on Wheels, and worked as a certified rape crisis counselor with Verity. Becca also served as the Programs Coordinator on the board of the Petaluma Mothers’ Club.
