I'm here for you! I'm a former Deputy District Attorney and Deputy Public Defender. I have done over 40 misdemeanor/felony jury trials and countless motions. My practice areas range from misdemeanors, to traffic violations, to serious and violent felonies. I also write misdemeanor and felony appeals - I am currently on the panel for the Third and Fifth Districts doing criminal appeals and can help you with that too. And, as a distance runner, I want you to be able to run free - when something bad happens to you - and will help you through our complex legal system.

"Mrs. Koo is an experienced and diligent criminal defense attorney. I have seen first hand what she can do for her clients and it is nothing short of amazing.

If I needed a criminal defense attorney, I would hire Mrs. Koo immediately."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kristine Koo is an excellent criminal defense attorney who is knowledgeable, very effective in court and passionate about getting great outcomes for her clients. Kristine really cares about her clients and gets great results! I recommend her without reservation."
