Overview

Kerry Fuller’s exposure to California’s complex water system started early. Her father worked as an engineer for a water agency in the San Bernardino Valley, and through discussions and observation of his work, Kerry became fascinated with the vast web of infrastructure and accompanying laws and agreements that govern California’s water.

In her legal practice, Kerry takes this early interest and applies it in the context of public, water, land use, and environmental law. She provides advice and counsel to the Firm’s clients on those subject matters and focuses on mentorship and training of the Firm’s attorneys in the early stages of practice. She currently serves as Deputy City Attorney to the City of Newman and Deputy General Counsel to Del Paso Manor Water District, Rio Linda-Elverta Community Water District, North Yuba Water District and Reclamation District 799. She also advises the firm’s other public agency clients on a variety of matters including the Brown Act, Public Records Act and Political Reform Act.

After graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara with degrees in Political Science and Psychology, Kerry spent several years working in Washington D.C. for Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential primary campaign, as well as for Defenders of Wildlife, an environmental nonprofit. It was there, encouraged by her mentors and still fascinated by California’s water system, that Kerry became inspired to become a lawyer. As a result, Kerry returned to California, where she graduated from the University of California, Davis with her Juris Doctor. She has worked as a law clerk at the California Attorney General’s Office in the Environment, Land Law, and Natural Resources Section.

From inspiration to actuality, Kerry now flexes her decision-making and problem-solving skills as a member of the White Brenner team. Kerry is a member of the California State Bar and channels all her experiences into her municipal, water, and environmental practices.

If not a lawyer… I would be an interior designer. I enjoy making spaces feel cohesive and inviting. I am obsessed with Flipping Out on Bravo, but find the idea of working with someone that intense slightly terrifying. Thus, I am not an interior designer.
