Overview
Tara Licata is a Shareholder and Co-Owner at Licata & Yeremenko, and has been with the firm for over 15 years. Tara spent her childhood and teenage years in Northern California, before moving to Southern California where she attended law school, passed the Bar and has been practicing law ever since. Tara earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of California Davis and her Juris Doctorate from Whittier Law School.
While in law school, Tara was a member of Law Review and received The Most Outstanding Member Award in her final year. Tara also received CALI awards for obtaining the highest grades in various classes including, Race, Racism and American Law and Constitutional Law.

The opinion was published and provides new precedent.
Tara has enthusiastically dedicated her career to representing individuals and advocating for and protecting their rights, whether in an employment context or otherwise. Tara’s parents instilled in her the value of hard work and taking pride in what one does, no matter the task or job. Tara continues to apply those values to her work and to life in general. When not working hard for her clients, Tara spends time with her husband Tom, their dogs Boomer and Violet, and their cats Bug, Sam, Dean and Opal. Tara’s favorite holiday is Halloween, and she enjoys watching scary movies - the scarier the better.
