About Michael Frederick
Michael Frederick Cardoza built his academic foundation on two coasts. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Business-Economics from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1993. He then continued his legal studies at Georgetown University Law Center, receiving his Juris Doctor in 1997. Those credentials place him among lawyers who combine formal training in economics and law.
After law school he began a legal career centered in California. He is licensed to practice in that state and has maintained a practice there for many years. Over time he moved into positions in private practice that kept him connected to clients and courtroom work. His path has been steady rather than theatrical, marked by routine casework, client counseling and the day-to-day demands of litigation and transactional practice.
His undergraduate study in business and economics informs the way he approaches legal questions. That background provides a framework for assessing contracts, financial documents and business records. It also gives him a perspective when legal issues intersect with commercial concerns. He has relied on that training when advising clients and preparing cases, drawing connections between legal theory and practical financial effects.
Colleagues and clients who have worked with him describe him as methodical and practical. He tends to emphasize clear explanations and predictable processes over grand statements. His professional record includes sustained work in a private firm setting. Details of specific cases or published rulings are not part of this profile, which focuses on education and practice background rather than litigation highlights.
Today he practices at The Cardoza Law Corporation, where he handles matters that arise within California’s legal system. He remains based in the state where he is licensed and continues to work on behalf of clients through the firm. He currently practices law in California at The Cardoza Law Corporation.
