Welcome John Nguyen as the Newest Of Counsel in Northern California

Murchison & Cumming, LLP is pleased to announce John Nguyen has joined the Northern California office as Of Counsel, bringing more than 13 years of litigation experience to his practice. An established trial attorney, John has served as lead counsel in both bench and jury trials across a range of matters, including labor and employment, torts, ADA claims, and related disputes in both state and federal court. John is dedicated to helping clients navigate legal uncertainty by identifying core issues and guiding matters toward practical, efficient resolution.

John began his legal career as a volunteer law clerk for the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Northern District of California before establishing his own practice, where he represented clients in tort litigation, family law, and consumer bankruptcy. John later served as lead attorney at a firm focused on high-exposure tort matters. Across these roles, John’s strategic case management, clear communication, and commitment to client-centered advocacy have led to favorable outcomes at trial and in complex settlement negotiations.

Prior to practicing law, John spent more than 17 years working as a Software Integration Engineer in the high-tech industry, where he led software integration projects and developed solutions for technically complex systems. His transition into the legal field was driven by a growing interest in the structure and problem-solving aspects of law, building on his background in analytical thinking and systems design. His engineering background continues to inform his legal strategy, particularly his ability to assess risk and manage the most complex cases with a thoughtful, methodical approach.
