Kristi Rothschild, Attorney

Kristi Rothschild began her legal career in 1995, working first as a legal secretary and then as a paralegal, in firms throughout Ventura County.  Finding the profession a good fit, she entered law school, graduating Valedictorian of her class at the Southern California Institute of Law.  Admitted to the bar in December 2002, Ms. Rothschild continued with the firm she had spent three years with as a paralegal, litigating insurance coverage disputes between insurance carriers and on behalf of consumers, as well as handling construction defect litigation.  Ms. Rothschild's civil litigation experience encompasses a number of fields, including insurance coverage analysis, contract disputes, construction defect matters, family law litigation, products liability, premises liability, personal injury matters, and other civil actions. Ms. Rothschild has represented clients in all aspects of litigation including bench trials, and has extensive experience in large scale multi-party mediation and other dispute resolution proceedings.               

Ms. Rothschild entered the realm of employment law by reviewing policies and procedures on behalf of Santa Barbara-area employers, primarily in the construction industry.  Recognizing the need for better education of the legal rights and responsibilities of both employers and employees, Ms. Rothschild joined Anticouni & Associates in 2009.  She primarily litigates cases involving medical disability discrimination and wrongful termination, as well as wage and hour claims.  Ms. Rothschild is admitted to the California Bar, California Courts of Appeal, as well as the United States District Court. She is a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the Santa Barbara Bar Association.

In addition to her legal work, Ms. Rothschild served on the Board of Directors for Relay for Life, Conejo Valley, for 7 years, and remains involved in their fund raising activities. Ms. Rothschild sits on the Board of Directors for Cancer Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that holds an annual weekend camp getaway for adults with cancer and their friends and family.
