Calistru

Growing up in a working-class neighborhood shaped how I see the world—and the people I want to fight for. I am dedicated to representing individuals whose voices too often go unheard and holding companies and powerful interests accountable.

Overview

Paulina Calistru focuses her practice on complex and mass tort litigation.

Before pursuing a legal career, Paulina worked across a range of fields, including as a literary assistant, traveling barista, public-school secretary, and English-language teacher. During law school, Paulina interned for judges in the Southern District of New York and the District of New Jersey, as well as several plaintiff-side firms.

Paulina now draws on her background in English literature and philosophy to effectively advocate for the firm’s clients.

Outside the Office

On my days off, you can usually find me at the movie theater or on a plane. I am currently training for a long-distance bike ride from Philadelphia to New York City.
