Widely considered to be one of the preeminent litigators in the country, James Yukevich spends much of his time outside of the courtroom working tirelessly to raise funds for the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank. In the last 20 years, he has served on the Food Bank’s Advisory Board and raised over $2 million to help feed Angelenos suffering from food insecurity.
When he isn’t representing Fortune 500 companies in highly contested jury trials, Yukevich has dedicated himself to Feed Los Angeles. In 2019, Yukevich was honored with the LA Regional Food Bank’s prestigious “Fighting Hunger, Giving Hope” award at its annual Season for Sharing Luncheon. Upon accepting the award, he said, “No one in our country should go hungry, and I am proud to have helped provide nearly two million meals to those in need in our community. I am honored to be recognized by this impactful organization and join with them in their mission to end hunger.”
In part due to Yukevich’s dogged fundraising efforts, in 2022 and 2023, the equivalent of 2.8 million meals were provided to hungry men, women, children, seniors, the disabled, veterans and other Angelenos in need. In his most recent campaign this past December, he set a goal of $250,000 and raised $342,500, enlisting the help of the plaintiff’s bar, the defense bar, and his family, colleagues, members of his firm and friends. Yukevich remains resolute in his goal to help end hunger in the community and provide LA County families with the sufficient food for healthy, active lives.
