About this firm

A Legal Legacy Forged by Two Visionaries: The Ferruzzo Brothers

Ferruzzo & Ferruzzo, LLP emerged onto the legal landscape in 1981, an embodiment of the shared ambitions and diverse journeys of its founders, Tom Ferruzzo and Jim Ferruzzo.

Tom Ferruzzo, a trailblazer of innovation, embarked on a remarkable detour from traditional legal pathways. His initial foray into space engineering led him to contribute his expertise as a key member of the launch team at Florida's Kennedy Space Center, where he played an instrumental role in launching the 3rd Stage of the Saturn V Rocket. Transitioning from the aerospace domain, Tom transitioned to McDonnell Douglas, all the while pursuing his legal studies. His profound grasp of strategic growth and ethical business practices led him to step into the role of Associate Deputy Counsel for McDonnell Douglas Corporation. Driven by a passion for guiding entrepreneurs on transformative journeys, he entered the realm of private practice, laying the foundation for ethical and sustainable business expansion.

Jim Ferruzzo, a paragon of service, commenced his career as a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles, driven by a fervent commitment to justice. As a seasoned prosecutor, he took on politically sensitive cases and played a pivotal role in dismantling the operations of the Mexican Mafia through relentless prosecution. His crowning achievement involved an exhaustive yearlong Grand Jury investigation into fraudulent profit claims within the entertainment industry, an endeavor known as "Angel Gate." Jim's pursuit of justice extended to orchestrating search warrants, including a landmark six-story building seizure, and conducting forensic accounting analyses for renowned shows like "Charlie's Angels," "Starsky and Hutch," and "Love Boat." His unparalleled courtroom skills continued to shine as he transitioned to private practice alongside his brother Tom, consistently advocating for the rights of private clients.

In the decades since its inception, Ferruzzo & Ferruzzo, LLP has evolved and expanded its practice areas, yet remains resolutely anchored in the principles upheld by its visionary founders. With an unwavering commitment to fostering enduring relationships, the firm stands as a testament to the enduring legacies of Tom Ferruzzo and Jim Ferruzzo.
