Since he was twelve years old, Mr. Wu wanted to be become an attorney in order to make an impact with his community. It was at this young age that he realized that the practice of law was one of those small ways in order to influence society to the benefit of those under-privileged and in need. Moreover, Mr. Wu had a keen interest and desire to learn the art of persuasion and public speechmaking, which is always been key elements in an attorney.
He obtained his dream and has been in practicing law in Georgia since 1992. With his strong desire and longing to help his community, Mr. Wu initially served as counsel to the various levels of the government sector – municipal attorney, clerk to a judge in the county court system, attorney and assistant director to various state agencies and an attorney to an agency in the federal government. While practicing law in the government sector, Mr. Wu was heavily involved in several important cases that encompassed several millions of dollars and influenced or affected many thousands of citizens such as yourselves. It was also while at these government positions that he gained invaluable experience and exposure to various specialties of law that he is now practicing.
After serving in the government sector for over a decade, Mr. Wu made the major step to “hanging out his shingle” or starting his own law firm – the Law Office of John Z. Wu, LLC. Mr. Wu understood the strong need to providing competent legal assistance to the Asian and Latino community. He felt his service could be more effective as an attorney who would cater predominately with the Asian and Latino community (i.e., Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese, etc.) located in the greater Atlanta area. He currently applies his trade in Gwinnett County, but practices throughout the surrounding metropolitan counties of Atlanta.
Mr. Wu received his bachelor of arts in History at Emory University in 1988 and subsequently received his juris-doctorate at his home state- the University of Florida – School of Law in 1991. He is certified to practice law in the states of Georgia and Florida, and has been an active member in the Georgia Asian Pacific American Bar Association, American Bar Association, National Association of Asian American Professionals, Chinese Lions Club and Monte Jade Science and Technology Association – Atlanta.
