Regina’s practice areas focuses on labor and employment law counseling and litigation, and business litigation. 

San Diego Daily Transcript’s Top Attorneys rates exceptional lawyers from 15 pre-selected practice areas. San Diego lawyers took part in a peer voting process to determine the best lawyers in private, corporate, academic and government practice in San Diego County in key categories, rating peers with whom they had professional experience.

More than 800 nominations were received for individuals in the primary areas of practice in San Diego County. The final published list recognizes the top 10 attorneys in each of the 15 categories, selected based on the number of peer votes they received. 

Regina practices in state and federal courts at the trial and appellate levels and is experienced in multi-district and class action litigation. She advises employers and public agency boards and handles litigation for private and public employers, and has obtained defenses verdicts in jury trials in Imperial County, Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.

She successfully argued Jones v. The Lodge at Torrey Pines Partnership (2008) 42 Cal.4th 1158 before the California Supreme Court, a case noted on Bender's California Labor & Employment Bulletin's top ten list of most significant cases and trends for the Fair Employment and Housing Act's fiftieth anniversary. Regina is a past president of the San Diego County Bar Association and a former member of the board of directors of the Minority Corporate Counsel Association.

She has been named one of the Los Angeles Daily Journal's Top 75 Women Litigators in California and one of the San Diego Daily Transcript's Top Ten attorneys in both the labor and employment and business litigation categories previously.

Regina is also a recipient of the San Diego Business Journal's Women Who Mean Business Award, and she was honored by the Stanford University Black Community Services Center with its Legacy Award. In 2004, she was named one of San Diego Magazine’s 50 People to Watch.
