About Anand
Biography
During my 13 year tenure at the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office I represented over 5,000 individuals who were charged with various misdemeanor and felony offenses. I represented individuals charged with Driving under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs, as well as those charged with Homicide, and everything in between.
I continue to fight for those accused of crimes as well as helping my community stand up to insurance companies, deep-pocketed corporations, and other adversaries after tragic accidents.
It’s important to have a lawyer on your side who is dedicated to helping people. Other attorneys might say the same thing, but few attorneys can say that they committed the vast majority of their career representing indigent citizens charged with criminal offenses. Even fewer attorneys can say that they have a track record of trying over 50 jury trials, and prevailed in most of them. When searching for legal representation, ask prospective attorneys how many jury trial they have actually conducted. I pride myself on the fact that I have an extensive background in conducting jury trials, including trying a Murder in the first degree case.

The very best lawyer in of all LA!
I found Anand Desai after a bad rear-end crash in LA, and hiring him was easily the best decision I made. From the first conversation, Anand and his entire staff were professional, caring, and unbelievably responsive. Anand personally handled my questions (calls, texts, emails) and always replied qui...

Replied last December 10, 2025Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and detailed review. I truly appreciate the trust you placed in me and my team after your accident. From the beginning, our priority was to be responsive, proactive, and completely transparent while fighting to secure the maximum recovery available. I’m glad you felt supported throughout the process and that the clear, line-by-line breakdown at the end gave you confidence that everything was handled fairly and honestly. I’m especially grateful that you trusted us after having a difficult experience with another attorney. Unfortunately, that happens far too often, and it reinforces why we place such a strong emphasis on integrity, communication, and always putting the client first. Thank you again for your recommendation and kind words. On behalf of the entire team, I wish you continued health and all the best going forward.

Car Accident
I really appreciate Anand Desai Law Firm fighting for my case. Initially, liability was denied and Geico did not want to pay for my injuries. Anand and Maggie fought hard for weeks to make sure justice was served. I was able to get the full policy limits from Geico. Thanks again guys!
