Paul Takakjian
I have worked in law enforcement for more then 20 years. For 3 years I was assigned to Court Services Bureau for the largest Sheriff’s Department in the United States. This basically means I was assigned to various courtrooms as a Bailiff. As a member of a Superior Court staff, I have dealt with many...
"Paul is an experienced and formidable trial attorney. He has achieved tremendous results for his clients because he out-thinks and out-works the other side."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Paul is a great lawyer. He is extremely knowledgeable about criminal law and procedure. Paul works very hard and achieves great results for his clients."
"I first met Paul in 1982, when I was a police detective with the Santa Monica Police Department. At that time, I was a Vehicular Homicide Detective assigned to investigate fatal traffic collisions. We worked together on several homicide cases. His outstanding lawyering skills as a deputy district attorney and now as a criminal defense attorney have established him as one of the very best lawyers in California. Paul is one of the few lawyers who are Certified as Specialists in Criminal Law by the State Bar of California. I am proud to have worked together with Paul for almost thirty years. He is a friend and a mentor. And quite frankly, he is the best and most intelligent attorney I know. Sincerely, Don Sowers"
