About Jayan
Biography
I started my career as a civil litigator in a small firm. I did this for less than a year and instead pursued my passion for being in the courtroom and helping people by becoming a Deputy Public Defender for the County of Riverside. I practiced criminal defense with the Public Defender’s Office for over five years, handling thousands of cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. In handling those cases, I conducted hundreds of preliminary hearings, motions and trials. I also gained extensive invaluable experience in the niche area of juvenile law having represented hundreds if not thousands of children being charged with crimes. Working as a Public Defender in Riverside was a very rewarding experience especially in the time I was there. While I was there, we dealt with a very tough District Attorney’s office and this helped mold me into the knowledgeable, aggressive, and fearless attorney that I am now.

During a time when most people under similar circumstances go through some of the most agonizing stress in their lives, I was fortunate enough to have had Mr. Hong in my corner. It was my first DUI and I obviously had no familiarity about the situation, so it was very unnerving and stressful. Once ...
Jayan Hong's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. Jay is simply one of the best lawyers in town. He has the work ethic and the experience to represent the biggest and toughest cases."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Jayan is an experienced and skilled trial attorney who I value for his advice and counsel. He is a fantastic lawyer, a great trial attorney and a skilled advocate. His clients are blessed and lucky to have him!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I worked with Jay for about six years as a Public Defender and routinely sought him out for his knowledge and advice. Jay is passionate about his cases and truly cares about his clients. There are no hopeless cases with Jay. I have seen him try cases other attorneys labeled "dead bang losers" - and come back with a hung jury. Whether you have a great case, or if you are ridiculously guilty, Jay is the attorney for you."
"I worked with Jay for around 6 years while we were both deputy public defenders in Riverside County. Jay is a tireless advocate for his clients and he works incredibly hard to get great results. But it's not just that Jay truly has the heart of a criminal defense attorney, which to me means that he is a protector of the constitution and a counselor to people at the worst moment in their lives, he is also a brilliant individual with intelligence that surpasses many of his peers. I highly endorse Jay for any type of criminal case, but he truly excels in DUI cases and destroying the prosecution's supposed experts. Hiring Jay is always a great idea!"
"This attorney works very hard for the client and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney."
"I have been working with Jay Hong for a while now on joint cases and found him, (like his partner, Nathan) to have excellent attention to detail, commitment to doing excellent work and extreme tenacity."
"Your resume speaks for itself and I consider you a valuable member of the attorney community. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs your services. I whole heartedly endorse this lawyer!"
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
"While I was a prosecutor, Mr. Hong was a worthy opponent, never afraid to take his cases to trial, getting good results and winning more cases than I care to admit. Now, as a fellow criminal defense attorney, I, without hesitation, recommend Mr. Hong."
"Mr. Hong is a strong advocate for his clients. He's persistent, knowledgeable and hard working. I refer many of my clients to him for his expertise."
"Mr. Hong is the epitome of professionalism. He's among the most diligent and conscientious attorneys I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I've referred several clients and acquaintances to Mr. Hong and they all came back with nothing but high praises."
"If you're looking for a fearless advocate who will go to bat for you inside and outside the courtroom, look no further. Jay is a seasoned criminal defense attorney with an excellent reputation in the legal community. He's the consummate professional--a lawyer's lawyer with impeccable integrity and a desire to right the wrongs his clients have endured. It is my privilege to endorse him."
"Jay is an excellent and thoroughly capable attorney with extensive knowledge and experience in most areas of criminal law, from juvenile matters to the spectrum of misdemeanor and felony cases. I worked alongside Jay for three years in the trenches as a deputy public defender and Jay was known to his supervisors as "the Bulldog" for his litigation prowess and success. If you want an attorney you can trust to fight for you, you will be well served by Jay Hong."
