Judge Frederick P. Aguirre (Ret.)

Frederick P. Aguirre’s family has resided in Orange County since 1919. His father, Alfred V. Aguirre, was a combat veteran of World War II and Julia P. Aguirre, was a Rosie the Riveter. Judge Aguirre, the oldest of 7 children, was born in Fullerton in 1946, raised in Placentia, was awarded a full tuition academic scholarship from USC and graduated in 1968. He received his law degree in 1971 from UCLA School of Law and worked for 3 years with the Legal Aid Society of Santa Clara County. For 28 years he practiced law here in Orange County and in 2002 was appointed to the Superior Court where he presided until his retirement in 2017. Since that date he has been a private judge serving as a Mediator and Arbitrator. The Judge, his wife, Linda Martinez Aguirre, and Rogelio C. Rodriguez have co-authored 4 books highlighting over 1,000 local American veterans of Latino heritage and have produced a documentary film, American Patriots: Latinos in World War II.
