He currently serves as an Associate Attorney at Sellar Hazard & Lucia LLP, where he focuses on insurance defense, construction defect litigation, and civil litigation on behalf of major insurance carriers and their insureds.
Originally from Chicago, Illinois, Asaf attended The Leelanau School in northern Michigan before graduating from Denison University with a B.A. in Computer Science in 2004. It was at Denison that he discovered his passion for music production, transforming his dorm room into a recording studio and attracting talent from the Columbus, Ohio area.
In 2005, Asaf moved to California and founded The OC Recording Company — an internationally recognized recording studio, record label, and audio school that he continues to operate. Over two decades, his production credits span platinum-selling artists, Grammy winners, major motion pictures, professional sports teams, and prominent public figures. He is a former Grammy voting member, the author of In the Studio with Asaf Fulks, and holds a U.S. patent for microphone technology along with federal trademark and copyright protections.
While building his entertainment business, Asaf pursued his dream of becoming a lawyer. He enrolled part-time at Taft Law School, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2022 after passing the California Bar Exam, Baby Bar, and MPRE on his first attempts. He served as commencement speaker for his graduating class and currently sits on Taft Law School's Advisory Board.
A man of integrity, diligence, and creativity, Asaf brings a unique perspective shaped by 25 years of firsthand experience as a successful entrepreneur. His technical background in computer science enhances his proficiency with case management software, AI-powered legal research tools, and complex data analysis. He adapts quickly, masters new practice areas with ease, and delivers thoughtful solutions tailored to each client's needs.
