About Anita
Anita Paka studied law in Washington, D.C., attending both American University Washington College of Law and The George Washington University Law School. Her legal education placed her in the middle of the region's courts, federal agencies and advocacy organizations. Those early years left a practical imprint on how she approaches problems and communicates with clients.
She began her professional career in the Virginia legal market. Over time she joined The Law Offices of Rick Todd, where she has handled a range of matters for individuals and local businesses. Her work at the firm has involved direct client counseling, case preparation and courtroom appearances in Virginia jurisdictions. Colleagues describe her as steady under pressure and attentive to procedural detail.
Paka is a member of the Fairfax Bar Association, where she participates in local professional events and continuing legal education programs. That involvement keeps her connected to court clerks, judges and other practitioners in Northern Virginia. She also keeps up with state rules and practice developments that affect day-to-day litigation and transactional work.
Her practice reflects the training she received in Washington and the practical demands of serving a Virginia client base. She handles filings, drafts pleadings and conducts hearings in state courts. She pays attention to deadlines and to the mechanics of getting a file ready for trial or settlement. Clients working through disputed matters often rely on her to explain options and next steps in clear terms.
Outside of the courtroom, Paka prepares pleadings and supporting documents, manages discovery, and coordinates with experts and investigators when cases require it. She balances time in the office with appearances at hearings and mediations. She is known among local professionals for practical problem solving and for keeping clients informed throughout a matter.
In her current role at The Law Offices of Rick Todd, she continues to serve clients across Virginia. She practices law from that office and focuses on representing Virginia clients in state matters at every stage of a case.
