From the beginning to the end this team has been amazing and helpful. Jeremy was able to have my case rejected before it was even filed.

I was referred to Jeremy through a close friend of mine, and from the first time we talked he made me feel like a priority. Not only did Jeremy insure that I had the best medical team, he made sure I knew how big my case was and that none of it was my fault. Winning my case was very life changing for...
"Jeremy and I have worked against each other on hundreds of cases together and he is unquestionably one of the finest attorneys I have ever seen. He is a master of trial skills with a flawless sense of when to fight like hell and when to ease off. Jurors love him. And even if you're not planning on fighting all the way through trial, he is excellent at getting the best deals for his clients because he knows exactly where to focus to find the weaknesses of any case. He is a 10 out of 10 in my book!"
"I have known Jeremy for over a decade - we first met at college and then came to know each other again as deputy public defenders in L.A. County. While working for the government, Jeremy had a reputation for being extremely bright and adept in the courtroom. He is all of those things and more now that he is in private practice - we both stopped working for the government at around the same time, and have appeared in court together on several occasions. Were I to find myself in legal peril, I would not hesitate to contact him."

Whether you are facing federal or CA criminal charges or want compensation for a civil rights violations, Jeremy is your man!"
