Frederick Schenk

When it comes to raising funds for civil justice, San Diego attorney Frederick Schenk is a little like Robin Hood.

“I take money from trial lawyers and give it to those who need it,” he joked.

The partner with Casey Gerry Schenk Francavilla Blatt & Penfield organized several successful fundraising events at the firm’s Bankers’ Hill office in 2010, with the proceeds going to consumer protection groups and their advocates.
