Grecia focuses her practice on complex commercial litigation, with an emphasis on disputes involving public and private construction, and government contracting matters. She has experience with litigation before federal and state courts, bid protests, and compliance and enforcement matters relating to federal, state, and local regulations affecting construction projects.

Grecia was named a Community Fellow and Dean’s Fellow in law school and served in several leadership roles, including programming co-chair of the UCI Public Interest Law Fund and co-chair of the Latinx Law Student Association.
