Why clients call us first

A defense built by the people who used to file the charges

Prosecutors first

Our founders tried cases for the state before they defended them, so we read the other side's file the way it was written.

Two offices, one team

From Long Beach and Newport Beach we appear across Los Angeles and Orange County courts without handing your case off.

More than criminal defense

Business, civil litigation, and real estate counsel sit under the same roof when a charge touches the rest of your life.

Constitutional footing

The firm was founded to defend constitutional rights, and that is still where every defense strategy starts.
