About

I care deeply about my clients and fight aggressively on their behalf.  I have represented individuals from all walks of life in both state and federal court, including business professionals, teachers, medical doctors, members of the entertainment industry and service employees, as well as business entities.  Clients come to me with their freedom at stake and lives in danger of ruin when they find themselves being criminally investigated, or after they have been charged.  Many of my clients are referred to me by other lawyers who have the utmost faith and trust in my ability to fight hard and tenaciously. I am a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard College, and an accomplished, award-winning criminal defense attorney.  I am also an adjunct law professor, and Emmy award-winning broadcast TV legal analyst who frequently appears on local and network media outlets, as well as on radio programs.   Before starting my law firm, I worked for two large law firms, and also served as a federal prosecutor in the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney's Office.  As a prosecutor I tried 60 cases to verdict (never losing a jury trial) and tried numerous high-profile, precedent-setting cases, including the 1985 kidnapping, torture and murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico.  This experience as a prosecutor has been invaluable because as a criminal defense attorney, I know how prosecutors strategize and think as they investigate and charge people with crimes.  I am able to carefully dissect a prosecutor's case to find the weaknesses and flaws, which makes me a tough negotiator, as well as highly effective in front of judges and juries. Please call or email me to discuss your personal situation, and be confident that I will be your be your best and trusted advocate.  The consultation is free of charge. (Spanish translation: Por favor llámeme o mándeme su mensaje a través de email para discutir su situación personal, and esté seguro que yo seré su mejor abogado, y de completa confianza.  La consulta es gratis.)
