David Alexander Russomanno
About David
Biography
My name is David Alexander Russomanno, and I am an aggressive, relentless and knowledgable criminal defense attorney based in Los Angeles. I defend my clients in all of the courts in California. I approach every case, misdemeanor or felony with the same aggressive attitude and, most importantly, experience to provide you with the best possible disposition, such as a dismissal or acquittal. If you or someone close to you has been arrested, it is of the utmost importance that you retain a criminal defense attorney immediately because, among many things, certain rights inherent to a defendant can be waived if you wait too long.
I am licensed with the State Bar of California and admitted to practice before all California State courts and the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

Best TRO representation
David helped our family tremendously with a very complicated TRO case. He protected my children, when other attorneys were unable to. He thinks outside the box and is fierce in court. His dedication to our case got us the outcome we were praying for. We can't thank him enough.

David Russomanno is extremely professional, diligent, persistent, and an amazing individual to work with. I hired him to help me out when I was pulled over and booked for a DUI without even being field tested/breathalyzed. He was quick to pick up our phone call and helped us out from the bail cha...

I would recommend David services to anyone who needs help
Out of all the lawyers I contacted, David was the only person willing to represent me for my domestic violence restraining order case against my abusive ex. All the others seemed to only represent the defendant, which I thought was very odd given that I am the victim and I really needed help. Davi...
