About Binh Dang
Binh Dang is an attorney and deputy public defender with nearly 20 years of courtroom litigation experience, including more than 100 jury trials and adjudications. Throughout his career, he has stood on the front lines of the justice system, fighting to protect the rights guaranteed to every person by the U.S. Constitution. His dedication to fairness and equal justice is deeply personal, shaped by his journey to the United States as a refugee from Vietnam. Now a candidate for Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, Seat No. 39, Binh Dang brings not only extensive trial experience, but also a lifelong commitment to treating every individual who appears before the court with dignity, respect, and compassion.
When his family arrived in America with little more than hope and determination, Binh’s father taught his six sons that education and hard work are the foundation of opportunity and the pathway to the American Dream. His parents also instilled a lasting belief that success carries with it a responsibility to give back and serve others.
Through perseverance and sacrifice, Binh earned his undergraduate degree from San Diego State University and later graduated from the University of San Diego School of Law, financing his education through student loans. Along the way, his parents reminded him that knowledge is power—and that financial hardship should never be a barrier to pursuing one’s dreams or fulfilling one’s potential.
Family is at the heart of Binh’s life and values. He has been married to his wife for more than 19 years, and together they are raising their children with the same principles that guided him: education, dedication, empathy, and service. Their 19-year-old son is a college freshman aspiring to become a healer through a career in medicine. Their 17-year-old daughter is an academically driven high school student who also works part-time, and their 15-year-old son, a high school freshman, shares his brother’s dream of becoming a healer. The Dang family’s shared commitment to hard work, service, and giving back reflects the values Binh brings to both his professional life and his vision for the bench.
