She represents clients in catastrophic personal injury, wrongful death, civil rights, consumer protection, and mass tort litigation matters. Her practice is focused on helping individuals and families navigate some of the most difficult moments of their lives while pursuing accountability from those responsible for causing harm.

Her experience in both state and federal courts allows her to advocate effectively for clients facing serious and life-changing circumstances.

Deeply committed to helping those in their greatest time of need, Monica approaches every case with the belief that legal representation is more than a profession. She is particularly passionate about creating space for individuals who often feel overlooked or marginalized and helping ensure that every client feels heard, respected, and supported throughout the legal process.

Monica’s dedication to advocacy and professional excellence has earned recognition within the legal profession. She was named to the 2026 edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in America for Personal Injury Litigation – Plaintiffs and Product Liability Litigation – Plaintiffs, a distinction recognizing outstanding professional achievement among emerging attorneys. She has also been recognized through All California Attorneys and FindLaw.

Prior to law school after accepting a personal injury internship, she discovered a passion for representing injured individuals and has remained committed to plaintiff-side litigation throughout her legal career. That early experience confirmed her desire to help people through some of the most difficult moments of their lives while pursuing accountability on their behalf

Through both her legal practice and community outreach efforts, Monica remains committed to expanding access to justice and making a meaningful impact in the lives of the individuals and families she serves. She is an active member of the American Association for Justice (AAJ), Consumer Attorneys of California (CAOC), and the San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association (SFTLA).

Fluent in Cantonese, her language skills and cultural understanding allow her to provide accessible legal guidance while building meaningful trust with the communities she serves. Outside of her practice, Monica enjoys Pilates, attending ballet performances, and remains connected to dance after training as a ballerina for many years.
