About Katherine
Biography
Kacey McBroom focuses her practice on federal and state criminal defense and defending individuals in civil actions arising from alleged criminal conduct. She represents defendants throughout California in a wide variety of federal and state cases. She is also a member of the Central District of California trial attorney panel (CJA) and the Independent Defense Counsel Office private bar panel for Los Angeles County.
Ms. McBroom began her legal career as a law clerk to noted criminal defense attorney Gigi Gordon at the Post Conviction Assistance Center in Los Angeles. Ms. Gordon was known nationwide for her work fighting disgraced law enforcement officers and challenging the testimony of jailhouse informants and preserving DNA evidence to exonerate those wrongfully convicted. In her capacity as Ms. Gordon’s law clerk, Ms. McBroom conducted investigations into the criminal convictions achieved in part by the perjured testimony of disgraced Los Angeles Police Department officers from the Rampart Division. Later, Ms. McBroom worked as an associate for The Law Offices of Randolph & Associates defending clients in both federal and state court and then as a Deputy Public Defender for the San Bernardino County Public Defender’s Office.
