Alum Duncan McFetridge: Corporate Lawyer Helps Foster Children

SAN LUIS OBISPO TRIBUNE -- Miles Cooley, a high-end entertainment lawyer from L.A., was bending an elbow with lobbyist Duncan McFetridge, a partner at Mercury Public Affairs who represents Lyft, Wells Fargo and other fancy clients with problems. Ed Howard was there, too. He represents people who don’t pay nearly as much but have a far greater need for advocates, foster kids. Miles Cooley and McFetridge enrolled at Sacramento City College. From there, Cooley went to UC Berkeley and McFetridge went to San Francisco State. Cooley joined the Peace Corps and went to Berkeley’s school of law. They still shoot hoops when they get the chance.
