I have practiced criminal defense and defended against restraining orders in San Diego County since 2004. Since 2007 I have practiced appellate criminal defense. I have won several jury trials over the years and have won a number of cases on appeal. I believe I provide great service to my clients and their families. Most important, I strive to give my clients excellent representation in the trial, family and appellate courts in San Diego County and southern California.

"Highly respected for his skills and knowledge Al is one of the finest legal minds in Southern California. Whether it be for the defense of a serious felony or a highly complex appeal Al has experience in all those types of matters and has achieved superior results. I strongly endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. I referred a few clients to Al because I practice family law and some of my clients needed a criminal defense attorney. My clients all had positive feedback about his tenacity, knowledge of the law, and great results. Al is my "go to" criminal attorney referral without hesitation."
"This attorney works very hard for the client and keeps up with the law by attending legal seminars to assist them in this regard. I endorse this attorney."
"Your resume speaks for itself and I consider you a valuable member of the attorney community. I would recommend you to anyone and everyone who needs your services. I whole heartedly endorse this lawyer!"
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Alan Macina to be a dedicated and knowledgeable attorney who zealously represents his clients."
"Mr. Macina is a talented criminal defense attorney who is obviously dedicated to getting the best results for his clients. I would recommend him whole heartedly."
"I refer all my Appeal cases to Alan because his the best in the business! Nobody is more respected in the legal community. I strongly endorse Alan to any client who needs great representation."
"Al Macina excels in analytics. One of the sharpest legal minds around, I have known Al since 2003 and have watched him hone his craft in the criminal appeals arena. I always call Al to discuss complex legal issues, before, during and after the improper rulings have been made. Al Macina is also a high quality individual, who cares about his clients in addition to the process. He puts in the maximum effort and time on each case, always challenging himself (and our courts) to do better. In this past year, I worked closely with Al on a complex writ involving a case of mine at trial (where our client was facing a 55-life sentence). His untiring efforts under strict time limitations challenged the court and the prosecution to follow the law and safeguarded our client's constitutional and statutory rights. (Our client now resides at home with his famiIy.) I would highly recommend Al Macina to anyone who has been unjustly tried and convicted in a court of law."
"Al is an all around great guy and family man, who also happens to be a top notch criminal defense and criminal appeals attorney. I have had the pleasure of reviewing some of Al's appellate work and writing, and I would liken it to juridical poetry.."
"I endorse this lawyer. Al Macina is a highly cerebral and dedicated attorney, who possesses a unique mix of intelligence and initiative. He consistently achieves excellent results in both criminal defense and appellate work. If I were charged with a criminal offense, I would not hesitate to retain Al Macina."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Macina for many years and had the opportunity to watch him in court. Not only is he an excellent appellant attorney, but he is also a confident and experienced trial attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Macina and I used to work together. He has also made numerous appearances for me over the past several years. Mr. Macina is always prepared, organized, and well-versed in the law. He is a real asset to the legal community."
"Al Macina is a fantastic attorney, but an even better person. He was instrumental in teaching me the ins and outs of each courthouse within San Diego County when I first started practicing. His knowledge of the appeal process is an invaluable resource for his colleagues, but most importantly for his clients!"
