Jenny Tiu received her B.S. degree in Physiological Science from UCLA. During her undergraduate studies, she was a research assistant at UCLA for both spinal cord injury and atherosclerosis research. Ms. Tiu then earned her J.D. degree at Golden Gate University School of Law with an emphasis in Public Interest Law. During law school, she interned for the San Francisco City Attorney's Office in the Juvenile Dependency Unit. She then went on to intern for the Solano County Alternate Public Defender's Office in the Juvenile Dependency Unit and later in the Misdemeanor Unit. After being admitted to the bar, she was hired as a deputy public defender in Solano County where she represented hundreds of misdemeanor and juvenile dependency clients. There, she earned a reputation for starting investigation early, preserving evidence, and being an excellent advocate for her clients.
After the birth of her child born with a medical condition, Ms. Tiu grew a strong interest in personal injury. She worked for two Bay Area firms and gained the necessary experience to assess and handle a personal injury case properly. Through personal life experience, she learned that while medications and medical procedures and devices can be extremely helpful for an individual with medical issues, they can alternatively complicate the underlying problems as well. She understands that life after an injury sometimes means fighting the medical providers and insurance companies for treatment one deserves, all the while balancing one's responsibilities at work and at home. Life after an injury can be catastrophic. Ms. Tiu brings experience, transparency, and a deep compassion and dedication to her personal injury clients.
Affiliations:
Ms. Tiu is a member of the Consumer Attorneys of California, San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association, Asian American Bar Association of the Greater Bay Area, Asian Pacific American Bar Association of Solano County, and the Solano County Bar Association.
Ms. Tiu is also an active member in her community. She is on the Board of Directors for the Bay Area Crisis Nursery, Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association, Filipino-American Chamber of Commerce of Solano County, Vallejo Chamber of Commerce, and the Chinese American Association of Solano County.
