Maria Antonieta Jandres is a Latina lawyer and immigrant from Nicaragua. She moved to the U.S. to further her education. Coming from a middle-income family raised by a single mother, Maria was inspired by her mother to strive for the best future possible.

Currently based in San Francisco, CA, Maria has established herself as a successful business owner of Antonieta Paralegal Services, a firm specializing in notary services, translations, real estate, immigration, bankruptcy cases, and more. She is deeply committed to her community, volunteering her time and expertise to various nonprofits and grassroots organizations. Her leadership focuses on advocating for policy changes and reshaping narratives around low- and moderate-income families.
One of Maria’s key affiliations is with the Mission Economic Development Agency, an organization dedicated to supporting the Latino immigrant community with services such as small business support, housing assistance, and civic education.
Maria Antonieta is a passionate advocate for childcare, housing rights, and poverty alleviation. She aims to create a lasting impact by assisting Latino families who seek support through her business, whether for paralegal or real estate needs, or simply to provide a supportive hand that enhances their strengths.
