About Salvador

Salvador A. Mungia, the son of immigrant parents, knew from an early age that he wanted to be a lawyer after seeing how his working class parents who had little money and education were taken advantage of.  Sal went to the Georgetown University Law Center graduating with honors in 1984.  After law school he returned home to Tacoma joining Gordon Thomas Honeywell in 1986 after two years of clerking for a justice of the state supreme court and then a federal district court judge.

Sal, having been raised with the ethic of hard work, tirelessly advocates for his clients.  His hard work and legal skills have been recognized by numerous legal associations.  Sal loves the law and loves being a lawyer.  He has committed his career not only to his clients but also to the improvement of the justice system.  He has served his profession by being president of his local bar association in 1999 and then the Washington State Bar Association in 2009.  Sal considers his highest achievements, however, as those times when he has represented individuals in both state and federal court, both individually and in class actions, free of charge to protect their rights so that he can do his part to ensure that those without any power, such as his parents, are not taken advantage of. As Sal has often said, "The highest calling of any lawyer is to give a voice to those who have no voice."
