Bio
Dr. Nola S Delaney
I had the pleasure of working with Ms Meraz. She was one of the hardest workers there. She went above and beyond all the time. Her work ethics are outstanding! I wish her lots of luck in her future endeavors.

I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Katy Meraz the summer of 2014 while working as an intern at the Equal Justice Center. We worked closely in providing intakes of prospective clients to multiple attorneys within the firm by which I can attest to Ms. Meraz’s professionalism and aptitude. She had started working at the EJC a few weeks before me, so she proved to be an excellent role model and mentor throughout that summer. I was particularly impressed by Ms. Meraz’s ability to handle even the toughest clients—and effortlessly. That skill often takes years to develop among customer service professionals, but it seemed to come perfectly naturally to her. Above all, I was fascinated with her ability to connect with clients and fellow co-workers with her always-encouraging positive attitude. A hard-worker and motivated individual, Ms. Meraz will undoubtedly be a true asset to any company and her work comes with my heartfelt recommendation.
