About Kevin
Biography
Welcome to my Avvo page. My name is Kevin Moghtanei, and I am the principal attorney at DCD LAW. I founded DCD LAW as a law practice exclusively focused on providing top-notch DUI & criminal defense to the greater Los Angeles area.
I am so proud to focus my practice exclusively to DUI and Criminal Defense. In fact, I am so proud of my work that I named this law practice after it –DCD Law stands specifically for DUI & Criminal Defense Law. Over the years, I have dedicated my life and focus to becoming the best DUI & criminal defense attorney possible. DUI and criminal defense is 100% the only work I do. Nothing else.
DCD LAW is committed to serving you and your loved ones. I handle all of my cases personally, and I am always easily accessible to my clients. From day one, I give clients my cell phone number so that I can be most accessible even when out of the office. As most of his clients will affirm, I will always call or email back without delay.
As your attorney, I understand the difficult time you and your family may be experiencing while awaiting the final disposition of your matter. There is never a case too small, and no case too big. I earnestly believe in building strong relationships with clients, where trust and constant communication are the pillars of the professional relationship.
My hope is that after meeting with me, you will see that my commitment to your case is unparalleled. No matter how many fingers are being pointed at you by the government and police, with all their infinite resources arrayed against you and trying to lock you up, I will fight for you.
