F&P Spotlight on Associate Julio Muñoz

What is your practice area, and how did you choose it?
My practice area is workers’ compensation. During the time I searched for my first job after passing the bar, I knew I wanted to work in an area of law that was interesting, and that I had no prior experience in to challenge myself. After interviewing for this position, I knew this would be a great fit.

What is your favorite aspect of working at F&P?
My favorite aspect about working at F&P definitely has to be the people. Everyone is always open to helping one another, and everyone in this office makes the workday more enjoyable, as well.

What is your proudest accomplishment?
Winning my first case in law school in the immigration clinic. I was able to help a mom and her son obtain asylum after initially being placed in removal proceedings.

What’s the best news you ever received?
That I was going to be an older brother.

What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?
Cow tongue tacos. Although a delicacy in Mexican culture, once was enough for me.
