We proudly represent clients throughout the following areas:
Our unwavering commitment to our clients' cases has earned us a reputation for being highly aggressive and effective criminal lawyers. The facts of each case are unique, each courthouse is staffed with different prosecutors and bench officers, and the demographics of each jury pool are different at each courthouse. While these elements influence the outcomes of a case, we are intimately familiar with the local courts and will explain how these variables may favorably influence your results.
Both of our partners graduated in 1994 from U.C. Berkeley's Boalt Hall School of Law. They are community leaders and continuously strive to maintain a strong presence in the legal community in order to effectively defend our clients' best interests.

“Mr. Escobar represented me in a case that I had been fighting for more than a decade. I went through a couple of Beverly Hills Lawyers in the past few years and my case was never resolved, what they couldn’t accomplish, Mr. Escobar was able to do in less than 6 months. There is no other word to describe his work other than “Incredible”. From the first time I met Mr. Escobar, I notice that he came across extremely professional, honorable, and dedicated. He was on top of all of the new laws and was up to date on all the changes as they happened daily. That is very important if you want to have the best lawyer at your side when you fall into an unfortunate situation. As soon as I started my case Mr. Escobar’s team reach out to me immediately to make sure we were on the same page and all documents were in order. Mr. Escobar was in constant contact with me through my entire case and always keep me up to date on the entire process. My family and I are eternally grateful for his service and I hereby recommend Mr. Escobar without reservation.”- Mr. Zavala
