Michelle “Mika” Domingo is the award-winning Managing Attorney of M.S. Domingo Law Group. With a passion for helping others, Mika Domingo represents people throughout California in matters involving Probate and Trust Litigation, Probate Administration, Trust Administration, Estate Planning and Conservatorships.
Mika fulfills her commitment to fairness, legitimacy and equality within the legal community by serving on numerous boards including as the first Filipina President of California Women Lawyers (CWL), co-chairing its Judicial Evaluations Committee for the past eight years, chairing the Annual Dinner Committee and So, You Want to be a Judge program, and serving on numerous committees. She also currently serves on the board of the California Asian Pacific American Bar Association (Cal-APABA), chairing its Presidents’ Summit and serving on the Annual Conference Committee. She is proud to serve as Co-Director of Professional Development of the Filipino Bar Association of Northern California (FBANC), co-chairing the Night with Fil-Am Attorneys (Program on Intersectionality) and the Night with Fil-Am Judges (Program on Pathways to the Bench). Mika served as Past President of Contra Costa County Bar Association Women’s Section, and as a Board Director and Executive Committee member of the Contra Costa County Bar Association, chairing its Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee for three years.
Mika believes that the justice system should work to benefit everyone, not just the few. Mika fulfills these same commitments to her clients by implementing a client-centered approach – meaning, she places herself in the shoes of those whom she represents. Because the stress and anxiety of pending litigation can cause barriers to communication, empathizing with her clients can overcome that barrier and contribute to a greater success in the litigation process: treating the client as a person, not just another “case.” Mika’s advocacy for diversity and inclusion has earned her numerous awards including the Minority Bar Coalition Unity Award, Contra Costa County Bar Association’s Diversity Award for the past six years, the Justice Marchiano Inn of Court Award and the California Bar Foundation Award.
