The gig: One of the most recognizable attorneys in Southern California's ethnic Chinese community, Daniel Deng specializes in criminal defense and runs a law office in Rosemead with four partners, handling about 300 cases a year. A former journalist, he hosts a radio program and writes books and newspaper columns on immigrant rights and navigating the American legal system.
Background: Born in Southern China's Guangdong province in 1967, during the Cultural Revolution. His grandfather, a landlord, disappeared during the chaos and his family was blacklisted and separated. He watched mobs castigate and spit on his grandmother during weekly political rallies. Only after Deng Xiaoping came to power in the 1970s was the family able to reunite.
