About Jeena Cho

Jeena’s reputation as a speaker is built on her ability to make mindfulness and meditation accessible and approachable to lawyers with tremendous honesty, warmth, and humor. She is a lawyer who is intimately familiar with the high demands and stress lawyers face day-to-day. She has the ability to inspire audiences and leave them with actionable change strategies.

She always felt a deep pull towards social justice, stemming from her child immigrant roots and a desire to be of service. She started her career as an Assistant State Attorney at the State Attorney’s Office 13th Judicial Circuit where she handled domestic violence and misdemeanor cases. During that time, she tried over twenty jury trials and hundreds of bench trials. Wanting to make a greater impact, she switched practice areas and started a consumer bankruptcy law practice in San Francisco where she helped everyday people and small businesses find solutions to overwhelming debt problems.
