"I AM THE ATTORNEY OTHER LAWYERS HIRE TO DEFEND THEM!" My firm has 75+ Years Combined Experience."L.A.'S TOP RATED DUI ATTORNEY...WE ARE THE ATTORNEYS THAT OTHER LAWYERS HIRE TO DEFEND THEM!""L.A.'S TOP RATED CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY-WE ARE THE ATTORNEYS OTHER LAWYERS HIRE TO DEFEND THEM!"
Named Top Los Angeles Criminal Attorney by LA Times and named one of the Top 100 criminal defense attorneys in California by the National Trial Lawyers Association. We are the attorneys other lawyers hire to defend them.
I started my pursuit of law over 26 years ago. I have worked for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, a Superior Court Judge (as a reseach attorney), and have been the guiding force behind the Hedding Law Firm since 1994.
I truly enjoy practicing criminal defense. It plays to my talents and I am at my best when I am fighting for a client's rights, reputation and freedom. I have tried many cases over the years and have seen very few prosecutors that can match up to my legal abilities. If you hire me as your attorney, I can say without a doubt that you will have an advocate that is more experienced, saavy and prepared than any prosecutor!
I encourage you to come and sit down with me and discuss your case. I will educate you on how the system works and assist you in designing a plan that will address the specific issues surrounding your case. I go to court everyday and advocate for my clients...I will not be backed down by a prosecutor who is being over zealous. Call now and set up a free face to face consultation (818) 986-2092.
