About Michael T
Michael T Tam began his legal path at the University of California, San Diego, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Management Science in 2005 and completed a minor in Law and Society the same year. He went on to earn his J.D. from the University of San Diego School of Law in 2008. The coursework and practical training he undertook in law school set the groundwork for his admission to practice shortly after graduation.
He became a member of the State Bar of California in 2008 and has maintained that status since. He also secured admission to the Federal Circuit, enabling him to appear in federal appellate matters. Early in his professional life he joined several local bar associations. His memberships include the San Diego County Bar Association and the Orange County Bar Association, both dating to 2005, the San Diego North County Bar Association since 2008, and the Riverside County Bar Association since 2009. These affiliations have kept him engaged with regional legal communities.
Tam’s career has unfolded in California courts and federal forums. He has worked inside the network of county bar groups and practiced in venues that span both trial and appellate levels. Over time he has developed a practice that draws on his background in management science and legal training. That combination informs how he approaches case strategy and legal problem-solving, balancing technical detail with procedural demands.
He is listed as an attorney at Fernandez & Lauby LLP. At the firm he collaborates with colleagues on matters that require courtroom readiness and careful procedural handling. He is comfortable in state court dockets and has the authorization to proceed before the Federal Circuit, which broadens the range of matters he can accept for clients.
Outside of courtroom appearances he participates in the local bar organizations that he joined early in his career. Those memberships have provided forums for continuing education and peer discussion. They also keep him connected to developments in California law and procedural practice.
He continues to practice law in California and holds active bar membership. He focuses his current practice on representing clients in state and federal courts.
