The Dominguez Firm Takes Action
In commemoration of Juneteenth 2020, The Dominguez Firm is launching its initiative to bring awareness and change in the name of social justice. We chose Juneteenth because it is a day of celebration and positivity should be celebrated. But for too long African Americans have had to endure systemic racism and oppression. This has to end. Let there be no more victims of police brutality, vigilante justice, discrimination in housing and employment or stark educational and economic disparities. Together we can make this a reality.
When J.J. Dominguez founded The Dominguez Firm over 30 years ago, he did so with the goal of making quality, compassionate legal representation accessible to all sectors of society. That early ideal has blossomed into J.J.’s and by extension, The Dominguez Firm’s commitment to multiple causes that are making a difference in people’s lives locally and nationally. J.J. himself put it best, “Compassion must translate into action if we are to become a society that creates equal opportunities for everyone.”
The Dominguez Firm not only talks the talk about social justice, but also walks the walk. Unlike most firms, The Dominguez firm is composed of one of the most demographically diverse legal staffs in California. It serves Greater Los Angeles in fluent English, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, French, Portuguese, Italian and Persian, and with a multi-cultural legal staff from over 20 nationalities. We live and embrace diversity, representing the greater Los Angeles melting pot that we proudly serve.
