Frederick Jung Lawyer Reviews & Ratings - Huntington Beach

Frederick Jung Bio
I was born in Korea and immigrated to Orange County, CA when I was 5 years old.  My father, a gardener for 45 years, who worked this hard job until he was 75 years old, and the most honest, hardworking, and humble man I know, and the man I respect the most, told me... son, we are not rich so I give you 2 years to learn English...then you have to get straight "A's" in order to get into a University on a scholarship.  In Fountain Valley High, I had a 4.4 GPA, which got me into UCLA and THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO on a scholarship.  I thought I'd like to see some snow.  At U Chicago, I was top 5% of my class which got me a scholarship to Washburn Law in Kansas.  There, I was ranked #2 in my class. A large law firm usually hires only 1 person from my law school per year. I was hired by Blackwell, Sanders, Matheny, Weary and Lombardi employing hundreds of attorneys.  I didn't like corporate law practice much because I rarely shook a client's hand. Next, I worked for the O.C. District Attorney's Office. Criminal Law was interesting but I always felt sorry for the accused who seemed to have lived a hard life with severe disadvantages. Next, I wanted to practice different types of law. I opened my own general practice 21 years ago.  Before getting my law license, I worked mowing lawns, painting apartment complexes, laying bricks, digging ditches, delivering heavy furniture, generally eating dust.  I know hard work.  When I was growing up in O.C. I was the only Asian in my elementary and junior high school. Skinheads beat on me regularly for years; often I would end up bloody because I was that boy who never gave in. Numerous times, I have had my nose broken, my fingers broken, and black eyes. But I learned how to fight. In college, despite maintaining top 5%, I sprinted on the track team, performed in theater with the Black Friar's Club, and played for pizza money at frat houses in a punk band called the Empty Set with my best friends who were all physics majors and now hold high positions at investment banks. I sympathize with the homeless, people who are addicts, and those who haven't quite been able to live perfect lives.  Life is hard; the older I get, the more I respect the elderly for the physical and emotional pain they bear everyday.  I have borne the pain of a motorcycle accident, snapping my femur in two, breaking my ankle, ribs, and shoulders, struggling in a wheelchair, then a walker, then crutches, then finally walking, then running again.  I have had 2 heart surgeries including an open heart surgery where they sawed my sternum in half and pried open my ribs.  I do my best to be honest, humble, and hardworking.  I sleep 4 hours a day and work very hard. I love to practice law, in particular, creating interesting ways to solve problems quickly and efficiently so that my clients and I can move onto the next battle in our lives.
