Shannon N. Wiezorek has been a prominent criminal litigator in Southern California prior to partnering with her sister and opening Wiezorek & Geye. After graduating from Loyola Law School in 2004, she immediately joined the Long Beach City Prosecutor’s Office, where she had already worked as a law clerk for nearly two years. While working for the City of Long Beach, Ms. Wiezorek was awarded the Prosecutor of the Year. She also worked as the key prosecutor to the Domestic Violence Unit, and successfully tried over 20 cases before a jury. While at the City of Long Beach, Ms. Wiezorek conducted all phases of misdemeanor prosecution, from filings and arraignments to probation revocations and plea agreement negotiations.
In 2007, Ms. Wiezorek became a Deputy District Attorney for Los Angeles. During her time with the District Attorney’s Office, she worked in both trial courts and “drug courts.” She has paired with DUI enforcement officers and assisted in a Los Angeles County checkpoint, and she has been on numerous “ride-alongs.” She has worked with investigators, criminalists, and forensic toxicologists in preparing cases for the prosecution, and now she utilizes all of that knowledge in crafting defense strategies for her clients. Throughout the course of her career, she has proven to be a successful seasoned litigator in and out of the courtroom.
After leaving prosecution behind, Ms. Wiezorek began practicing private criminal defense for a very busy mainly DUI defense firm. Ultimately she decided she could better serve her clients by opening her own firm. She also has experience working for civil firms specializing in elder abuse and general litigation.
Shannon Wiezorek is a member of the National College for DUI Defense Lawyers and the California DUI Lawyers Association. She has also been qualified by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration to administer and to evaluate roadside field sobriety tests.
Ms. Wiezorek graduated cum laude from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1999, and received her Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in May 2004. She was admitted to the California State Bar in November 2004.

Traffic Case
Ms. Wiezorek represented me in a few traffic cases. She really listened to my concerns and did a great job. The results she got were well above what I was expecting. I wouldn't hesitate to very highly recommend her to anyone with a criminal case.

Lawyer Review
Shannon handled my case and kept me up to date without having to ask.
"Ms. Wiezorek has shown as a member of the National College for DUI Defense that she is committed to providing cutting edge DUI defense. The National DUI College members represent the most experienced DUI defense attorneys in the country. If you are charged with a DUI, a general practice lawyer is not the answer. Good DUI defense is hard work and few offenses in our court system call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand BOTH scientific and legal issues. As a fellow member of the College, if you are looking for exceptional representation, I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon Wiezorek"
