He then joined a prestigious plaintiff’s firm in Los Angeles before returning to San Diego at Singleton Schreiber.

Mr. Hanumadass believes in the old adages of his high school cross-country coach, Mr. Newton, who taught him, “while it’s nice to be great, it’s great to be nice” and “the greatest thing in life is not in never having fallen, but in rising up again.” Pursuing justice on behalf his clients and living up to Mr. Newton’s creed gives Vas a driving sense of purpose to do his very best.

In his free time, Mr. Hanumadass loves attending live music concerts, theatre and variety performances. As a born and bred Chicagoan, he lives and dies with his hometown sports teams and his college team, the Wisconsin Badgers.
