    Ms. Annie C. Lu brings more than 20 years of experience advocating for individuals confronting difficult and often unjust circumstances. She has devoted her career to protecting the rights of everyday people, helping injury victims rebuild their lives after devastating accidents and standing up for tenants facing unsafe housing conditions, wrongful eviction, and discrimination.

    Ms. Lu also applies her advocacy and courtroom skills to landlord tenant law, representing tenants in disputes with landlords and property management companies. She understands the real-life consequences of housing cases and is dedicated to helping clients secure safe, stable homes and equal treatment under the law.

    Ms. Lu earned two Bachelor of Arts degrees from the University of California Irvine in Criminology Law and Society and Political Science, graduating with honors. She subsequently received her law degree from UC College of the Law San Francisco, formerly UC Hastings, where she earned the CALI Award for Community Economic Development.
