Born in San Francisco, California, Wollenberg received an Artium Baccalaureus degree from the University of California, Berkeley in 1922 and a Juris Doctor from the UC Berkeley School of Law in 1924. He was in private practice in San Francisco from 1924 to 1927, and was an Assistant United States Attorney of the Northern District of California from 1927 to 1934, returning to private practice in San Francisco until 1947. He was a member of the California State Assembly for the 27th and 21st district from 1939 to 1947, when he became a Judge of the Superior Court of California for the City and County of San Francisco.[1]
