Animal Law includes any type of legal action, whether it be transactional or litigation, that effects the rights, standing and/or welfare of an animal. It is a new area of the law where sparse pro-animal case and statutory law exists in terms of defining, establishing and protecting the welfare of animals.

Animal Law varies from litigation issues involving incidents of wrongful death, veterinarian medical malpractice, animal activist Constitutional Rights protections, defense at vicious dog hearings, products liability litigation against companies that kill animals through the "proper" use of the product, and transactional issues such as drafting estates & trusts and facilitating the non-profit organizational governance.

I am an Animal Attorney who practices Animal Law, but who specifically uses the tools that the legal system provides, in order to give animals a voice in both the litigation and transactional forums. My practice is pro-animal and pro-animal activists. I do not take animal v. animal cases.

My practice focuses on preventing injury against animals and also making entities accountable for injury upon animals and animals' rights. This may take the form of suing exploiters of animals, defending animal rights activists or even preparing the corporate transactional documents for non-profits that specialize in the preservation and defense of animals.

Currently, Ms. Garcia is not practicing law, nor taking on any new clients and cases until mid-March 2007. She is only taking on new animal rights video-editing projects and animal rights campaign work.
