About Nancy Ann
Nancy Ann Dao graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science in 2008. She continued her legal education at the University of West Los Angeles, earning a J.D. in 2014. Those academic steps set the stage for a practice centered in California.
Her earliest listed legal experience came during law school when she worked as a legal extern and assistant in 2013 at the Law Offices of Lee Rudnicki. That role placed her inside a working legal environment while she completed her studies. After passing into the profession, she took on contract of counsel positions that kept her connected to day-to-day client matters and casework.
In 2016 she served as Of Counsel on a contract basis at The Law Offices of Gustavo Barcena. Two years later she held a similar of counsel contract with the Immigration Law Offices of Hadley Bajramovic PC. Those positions involved collaborating with practicing attorneys and contributing to ongoing matters. They also signaled a steady movement toward immigration-related practice areas.
Dao is authorized to practice in California. Her professional record reflects a mix of in-office support work, externship experience and contract counsel roles. That background can offer a practical view of how litigation and administrative matters move from intake through resolution. Colleagues describe professionals in such positions as often balancing research, drafting and client contact; Dao’s resume follows that pattern.
Observers of small-firm and contract legal careers will note that of counsel engagements often provide flexibility. For Dao, those roles spanned different offices and created a varied portfolio of day-to-day legal responsibilities. They also exposed her to the procedural demands of immigration cases and related client advocacy.
As of 2026 she practices law in California and concentrates on immigration matters. Her current practice focuses on handling immigration cases and related client services in the state of California.
