"Lawyers don't typically earn the title "beloved," but Anh Phoong isn't your typical lawyer. The Sacramento-based personal injury attorney has become a cherished minor celebrity around the Bay Area for her ubiquitous presence on billboards adorned with the cheeky slogan "Something wrong? Call Anh Phoong." The clever rhyme, along with Phoong's playful social media presence, has earned her invites to appear at club nights at the Stud in San Francisco and inspired countless Halloween costumes."
"The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the art was created by KQED designer Molly Wu (the Chronicle and SFGATE are both owned by Hearst but have separate newsrooms). Wu won an Anh Phoong Halloween contest in 2024 for dressing up not only as Phoong, but as a billboard complete with billboard railings and lights. When Phoong's social media manager Carlos Bryant noticed that she was an illustrator with her own Etsy shop called Garbage Gals, he reached out to her about collaborating on a project."
"The hoodies retail for $50, and the T-shirts sell for $25, with sales benefiting the American Red Cross Los Angeles Region and other charities. In addition to the new merch in Phoong's online shop, fans can also rep her firm via a collaboration with the Sacramento Kings. The team has partnered with Phoong, whose logo appears on a patch in the corner of the jersey, on an initiative where proceeds of the sales fund charities Single Mom Strong Inc. and My Sister's House."
