Trial Attorney

Amazing trial attorney. If you want someone to represent your best interests in court, look no further than Polina Logrue. She is a fierce advocate for her clients and a very compassionate family law attorney.

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer!

Polina Logrue is the best criminal defense attorney in California! Within minutes of talking with her, We were confident that she is extremely knowledgeable, professional, works tirelessly, and keeps her clients updated. Polina Logrue is well-educated and consistently goes above and beyond for her cl...ients. What stood out the most, is her communication -she always reaches out to give updates and keeps her clients informed. We are extremely grateful for her dedication and guidance and would STRONGLY recommend her to anyone who is looking for a criminal defense attorney. Polina Logrue is dependable, compassionate, confident, informative, knows what she's doing, AND quick to respond (not like other lawyers we've called) and we are beyond happy with her! 100% recommend.

5 felony charges, 4 dismissed and one reduced to a misdemeanor with no jail.

Hired criminal defense attorney Polina for my case. I was facing multiple charges and she was able to go in court very confident and get everything dismissed but one. The one she was able to get me she was able to get reduced to a 415 disturbing the piece instead of what would’ve gotten me jail time.... I went to multiple attorneys before her and not one of them told me that that was even an option to be able to get some of them dismissed. I understand she used to be a prosecutor as well so her experience definitely showed. I recommend her to anybody I hope I never have to use her again, but if I ever get in trouble, I’m coming back to her

Dedicated and diligent

I have had the pleasure of working with Polina for a number of years. Time and time again she has demonstrated her integrity, strong work ethic and diligence in any task she takes on. She is disciplined and responsive and really takes pride in her work. These traits are hard to come by these days,... but I can truly say she possesses all of them.

You will find no better Defense Counsel than Polina

My initial introduction to Polina was during her time as an Assistant District Attorney in Orange County. During her time there she established as well as distinguished herself as a competent professional who is deeply respected by the courts/judges and quickly gained a reputation for being successfu...l, authentic and always operating with extreme integrity. When she told me she was going into criminal defense my initial thought was that prosecutors are going to be in for a lot of trouble. Her tenacity and professionalism now being focused on defending clients is a tremendous advantage in court as she knows the tactics and personalities on the prosecution side which ensures higher success rates than many attorneys with decades of experience. Once you get past her super model good looks you will find her knowledge of the law surpasses opposing counsel no matter how long they have been practicing. A rare combination indeed. You will find no better representation than Polina and she is well worth the retainer. By all means check her many references and referrals.

"I know Polina from working in all the courts in Orange County, CA. She is a dedicated, thorough and aggressive advocate for her clients. I wouldn't hesitate to refer a client to her for any criminal case or even for an evaluation of a family law case or similar matter. She has confidence and a professional attitude and a flawless work ethic. I think it would be an excellent choice for you and your case if you haven't decided who to hire."

"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Logrue was a talented Deputy District Attorney and now a talented criminal defense attorney having learned a great deal about criminal prosecutions and defenses at the Orange County District Attorney's Office based on her trial experience there. Ms. Logrue is professional, disciplined, and committed to her clients. In addition to criminal defense, Ms. Logrue also provides additional legal services, including performing pro bono work at the Veterans Justice Project, and mediation services based on her experience working for the federal government in Washington, D.C. in a congressional office."

"Polina’s experience as a prosecutor gives her unique insight into criminal law cases that other attorneys just don’t have. If you are facing potential jail time for a mistake you made, you want a lawyer, like Polina, who knows the other side’s playbook."

"Polina is a talented and hardworking criminal defense attorney whose dedication to justice is unmatched. I’ve known Polina since she was in law school.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"It’s not everyday you come across an opposing counsel who is not only firm and knowledgeable, but also able to set aside the adversarial nature of the case to talk reason and figure out together what’s the correct and just outcome for the case. Polina is this rarity in law. As a former DA, she exemplified that. But now, as a criminal defense attorney, what gives her the edge over most defense attorneys is that she spent considerable time on the opposite side of the law as a prosecutor so she brings a comprehensive approach that few, if any, lawyers can bring to the table. Hire her with confidence… I promise, you won’t regret it."

"Polina is a strong, smart, and seasoned lawyer. She advocates for her clients fiercely in court. As a former prosecutor herself, she knows how to approach the prosecutors and courts to get the best deals and isn't afraid to fight back when necessary. Having handled a multitude of felony and misdemeanor cases, she's always prepared for all her clients on all her cases. Any client would be lucky to have her in their corner."
