Joon is a direct descendant of Grandmaster Hwang Kee, the founder of one of the most important and influential figures in Korean martial arts – Tang Soo Do. Joon not only practiced the physical aspects of martial arts but also the mental and spiritual aspects. His training helped him develop a true warrior spirit from a very young age. He has applied these skills and characteristics in his legal practice and in the courtroom and has recovered tens of millions of dollars for his clients.

Joon also serves as a coach, consultant, co-counsel, and teacher to trial attorneys across the country. In this role, Joon serves plaintiffs’ trial lawyers and criminal defense attorneys by helping them become the best trial lawyers and human beings they can be so they can better serve their respective clients.
