The Absolute Best Juvenile Defense Attorney I Could Have Hoped For
If your juvenile son or daughter is in need of a Defense Attorney, look no further. Lewis Rosenblum is the very best.

Lew Rosenblum

FORMER A.D.A. in the OC is a MIRACLE WORKER!
Mr. Rosenblum was absolutely incredible! His experience in the DA's office definitely put me at ease through the entire court process. He was able to obtain a deal with the ADA that was 1/4th the mandatory and/or recommended sentencing and no jail time. The Judge truly listened to Mr. Rosenblum a...
"I endorse Lew Rosenblum. He was my boss in the Orange County District Attorney's Office on two separate occasions. There isn't anyone better to strategize a case with, which is why his clients are in such good hands. He is also a pit-bull in the courtroom and yields fantastic results. He fights hard for his clients and never gives up."
"I know Mr. Rosenblum personally, and I can advise that if a family member of mine was ever charged with a crime, he would be on the very short list of criminal defense attorneys who I would consider recommending. His reputation precedes him in the community, and the expertise that derives from his extensive experience as a prosecutor make him a solid choice for your representation, or that of someone for whom you care."
"Lew Rosenblum had already carried a legendary reputation by the time I had first met him. For a considerable time he has been held in the highest regard by Orange County judges, veteran district attorneys, defense attorneys, private investigators, police departments, and almost every well-known member of the profession. When he walks into a courtroom, his clients see the respect and admiration he deserves for the countless cases he has put his efforts into. I continue to learn so much from Lew that a short endorsement would not do him justice. All that I know is that very few attorneys can operate on a level that he can--which is why so few ever do. I highly endorse this lawyer for the victories he has gained and the utmost professional conduct he brings to every case and client. Anyone who finds their way into needing an attorney would be lucky to have him on their side."
"Lew Rosenblum is an outstanding lawyer who stands head and shoulders above most of his peers. I have had the privilege of knowing and working with Lew for more than 15 years, and I have personally benefited from his professional mentoring. He is a master trial attorney and strategist who approaches every case with the utmost care, thoroughness, and honesty. I endorse him whole heartedly."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Lew for over 25 years. There is not a situation that can come up in a court room that he has not faced and handled. Every D.A. in Orange County knows who he is and what he is capable of. He is a fantastic attorney, He knows how to work a jury. If I were in trouble he is definitely on the very short list of people I would retain to defend me."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Lew for nearly 20 years and find him to be a man of integrity and passion for his work. He is a caring, ethical, attorney who vigorously fights for his clients. He is a true advocate, always thoroughly investigating and preparing for his cases. With his years of experience as an Assistant District Attorney, he is able to work well in with the DA's Office and judges. His clients have raved about his sensitive and compassionate style and I would highly recommend this excellent attorney."
"Unquestionably competent, consistently conscientious, endlessly hardworking, always helpful, and highly dedicated, it is well-known this exceptional lawyer is an excellent trial attorney who is a tremendous asset to the Defense Bar community. Any person in need who hires this superb attorney will know he or she is in capable hands. For a number of positive reasons, I am honored to endorse Mr. Rosenblum."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have known Lew since he was in law school, and continued to see his work as a lawyer, first when he worked for me as a law clerk and young lawyer, then watching his superb work in the District Attorneys Office as one of the top prosecutors, and as a criminal defense lawyer. Lew is smart, ingenious, a superb trial lawyer, empathetic while remaining strategic, and one who has been recognized for his many accomplishments over the years. He has given and will continue to give the best legal services, he is dedicated with a huge work ethic."
"In additon to being a very personable attorney, Lew is also brilliant and hard-working. He is the type of attorney that will take the time to fully explore all issues in your case and to zealously advocate your interests. His trial skills are phenomenal. As a homicide attorney within the DA's office he prosecuted 64 murder cases and obtained 64 convictions. The same trial skills that made him the best prosecutor in the State of California also make him one of the very best defense attorneys in the State of California. His unmatched trial skills are widely recongized by judges and prosecutors alike. In fact, his peerless reputation within the criminal defense community is such that his name alone will intimidate opposing counsel. There is no better attorney to have on your side. If I were accused of a crime, I'd hire Lew in a heartbeat."
"I have known Lew for years since our time together in the Orange County District Attorney's Office. His track record of convictions on the most serious homicide cases speaks for itself. As a supervisor within the DA's office, he demonstrated his leadership, knowledge and experience in every aspect of criminal law. I endorse him wholeheartedly."
"Not enough can be said about the quality of Lew Rosenblum's work. As a prosecutor, he was a tireless advocate of exceptional ability. The California District Attorney's Association recognized him for his outstanding work as a trial lawyer. He is tenacious, smart, extremely talented, and motivated to use this experience to defend those accused of crime. You owe it to yourself to visit with him if you find yourself in legal trouble."
"As a prosecutor for 13 years, I had the privilege of observing all of the top trial attorneys who worked in the Orange County DA's office during my tenure there. I also had the good fortune of knowing many of the top prosecutors in other DA's offices statewide. I can say without hesitation that Lew was the best prosecutor I ever met. He is known in the legal community as a legend. His work ethic is nothing short of extraordinary. His tenacity is unmatched. When he makes a decision to take a case, the other side is in for the fight of their lives. My opinions about Lew are shared by many others. Of the thousands of prosecutors in California, he was selected by his peers in the California District Attorneys Association as the Prosecutor of the Year in 1998. He was also selected by California Lawyer Magazine as one of the top 20 attorneys in California (including both criminal AND civil attorneys). Lew is truly a master trial lawyer. A client could be in no better hands."
