Juan came to the U.S. as a 10-year-old, Spanish-speaking immigrant with his family of eight. His parents’ exemplary work ethic enabled them to overcome grave disadvantages and financial hardships, while also providing their children with strong parental role models. Mr. Dominguez earned a Bachelor’s Degree in 1984 from California State University, Long Beach. He earned a Juris Doctor from top-ranked University of California Hastings College of the Law in 1987 and opened his law practice that same year.

Before entering law school, Mr. Dominguez worked for several years in the emergency rooms of major trauma centers at UCLA Medical Center and St. Francis Hospital in Lynwood, assisting seriously injured patients. There he developed a keen insight and deep compassion for the gravely injured. This ingrained compassion for those in need is reflected not only in the thousands of injury cases he has championed, but also in the over 60 charitable causes he supports in the U.S. and abroad, including scholarships, disadvantaged children, health-related causes, assisting the homeless, and others.
