Frederick Gaston
Fred attended the University of San Diego Law School, graduating in May 2003. After graduation, he knew he could not work for anyone and needed to start his own firm. There is a saying in the legal profession, 'œ You don't find your practice, your practice finds you.' That is exactly what happened to Fred. The Gaston extended family is full of lawyers, primarily in criminal defense. Fred thought he would follow the family tradition and become a criminal defense attorney. However, he determined early on that criminal defense did not excite him. During this time, he was continuously meeting budding entrepreneurs who excited him. He began offering legal advice to help them establish their business and avoid potential business disputes. He concluded that business law was his passion so he formed the business litigation firm, Gaston & Gaston, in San Diego.
Gaston & Gaston is a firm focused on business litigation prevention and management. The firm is headquartered in San Diego, with offices in Los Angeles, Orange County and Alabama. Fred leads the firm and has the opportunity to work with his father, Ian, who runs the Alabama office.
Fred's experience includes trial/court work with a heavy emphasis on breach of contract, interference with economic relations, and unfair competition. He also helps entrepreneurs with business formation and structure. Gaston & Gaston's typical caseload is 30 to 40 cases at one time.
Prior to his law career, Fred Gaston was in the US Navy. Fred received numerous awards while in the Navy. He received the Joint Service Achievement Award, Good Conduct Award and National Defense Award to name a few. Learn more about Fred's academic and professional awards.
As the President of Gaston & Gaston, Fred continues to give back to the community. He is a member of the Nice Guys '" a San Diego based organization consisting of businessmen who want to give back to their community. He is also a member of Kiwanis International, a Mentor at the S
