FRANK J. McCARTHY
Thoroughly
equipped for the practice of law, Frank J. McCarthy is among the most
successful of the younger members of the Los Angeles bar. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, January
27, 1903, and is a son of Matthew J. and Alice (Hearn) McCarthy, the latter
also a native of that city. Immigrating
to America from Ireland, the father settled in the east, where he followed the
trade of a printer for a number of years.
Since 1915 he has made his home in Los Angeles and is now retired.
In
the public school of his native city, Frank J. McCarthy obtained his early
education, and was about twelve years of age when the family came to Los
Angeles. Here he attended Los Angeles
High School and the southern branch of the University of California, completing
his studies in Loyola University at Los Angeles, which in 1926 conferred upon
him the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In
the same year he was admitted to the California bar and began practice in Los
Angeles. He was associated with the law
firm of Nolan, Rohe & Freston,
which later became Page, Nolan, Rohe & Hurt, for
five years and afterward was associated with the late W. Joseph Ford, a noted
criminal lawyer, for two years. Mr.
McCarthy is now practicing alone, with offices at 354 South Spring Street, and
is accorded a liberal clientele. He
specializes in corporation and criminal law, and is at his best in those
branches of jurisprudence. An astute
businessman as well as an able attorney, he is vice president of the California
Sales Contract Company, has been secretary of the System Auto Parks since 1927,
and is also secretary-treasurer of the P. M. Merchandising Company.
During
his student days Mr. McCarthy entered the Reserve Officers Training Corps but
was too young for service in the World War.
He has membership in the state bar of California, and the Jonathan Club
of Los Angeles. His rapidly developing
powers and abilities have already carried him into important business and professional
relations and the future undoubtedly holds much in store for him.
