About Neeraj

Learn Neeraj’s areas of practice.

Orange County's Premier Criminal Defense Attorney. Consistently named on the Super Lawyers' Southern California Rising Stars List, an honor reserved for only 2.5% of attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice and the National Trial Association's prestigious Top 40 Under 40 list. 

Neeraj began his legal career through opportunities to work with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the Orange County Superior Court, and the United States Department of Justice.

But Neeraj's interest in the law goes back to high school when a friend from a less affluent background was charged with selling drugs. The friend had been putting the money he made from drug sales into his father's wallet at night.

“No one should be defined by the fact that he was once in handcuffs,” Neeraj says. “My friend got kicked out of school. It changed his life.”

Neeraj is now able to fight for the rights of other good people whose lives have been impacted by criminal charges, such as a single mother with a disabled son who lost her job after being charged with theft.

The mother, a nurse by profession, would leave the house every day pretending to go to work so as not to cause her son distress. In actuality, she was volunteering with a local food bank, which also kept her family fed.

By conducting his own investigation, Neeraj was able to establish his client's innocence. The D.A.'s office dropped the case and the client was able to resume her career helping others.

In his free time, Neeraj volunteers for the California Innocence Project, an organization dedicated to releasing wrongfully convicted inmates.

When not practicing law, he enjoys going to Disneyland with his wife and cooking (the spicier the better!). Neeraj is also a passionate fan of the Los Angeles Lakers, and was featured in the Orange County Register for winning "Fan of the Game" in the 2010 Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Very professional
From the beginning, Neeraj was a very professional attorney. He explained to me what it meant to get a DUI expunged and advised me on how this might help in the future. He was able to complete the process fairly quickly and he also answered my emails and calls pretty quickly too. I've worked with other attorneys before where they don't respond for a while, Neeraj was not like one of these attorneys. I would definitely recommend him!

The "Go-To" DUI Lawyer!
Neeraj Singh is hands down, the best defense lawyer when it comes to DUI Law. I made the dumb mistake while visiting the states on my R&R. I thought my life was over & all hope was lost. But he assured me I could push through this & make the best of the situation. Seeing that I work overseas, he was able to handle my case without me ever having to show in-person. We handled everything via phone or e-mail & he was able to get me the best plea deal (going to trial could have been way worse!). His constant feedback & updates kept me from freaking out during the entirety of this situation. I couldn't recommend anyone better to handle your case!

Confident, competent and just plain cool
Attorney Neeraj Singh has done an incredible job representing me during a trying, stressful legal process. He has always been responsive, patient and compassionate, answering any questions I may have, no matter the importance (they are equal in his eyes). I had feared the worst, and received the best. Please consider Mr. Singh as your attorney; you will be treated with dignity and always feel respected and informed.

Would hire again
Mr. Singh was a pleasure to work with from the start. He was very professional, calm and thorough. The phone conversations we had always helped to ease some of my anxiety. Mr. Singh always followed thru with what he said he was going to address at each stage of my case and provided me a summary email as promised to help me walk through everything. He has excellent communication skills. Thanks to his help my case was dismissed and I’m in a much better place. I would recommend Mr. Singh to others as well as hire him again for myself in the future. I really appreciated his help!

Simply the Best
I was referred to Neeraj by a close friend who works with Neeraj, so I anticipated being in good hands from the beginning of his counsel. That said, Neeraj's service and performance as an attorney far exceeded any expectation I could have had. I was at the very worst time of my life when I contacted him, and he provided me with the support I needed to get through that time. He gave expert legal advice, was a persistent and effective advocate, and was always quick to answer any of the myriad questions I had in a helpful and supportive manner. My case started with two felony charges; needless to say, I was extremely scared and nervous as to what the outcome would be. Neeraj was able to to negotiate a plea deal that involved one lower-level misdemeanor down from two felonies-- and without formal probation. This was the very best possible outcome in my case. Having been to court in person several times regarding this case, I can say that I observed many other attorneys who I am confident would not have been able to achieve this outcome. Neeraj is tremendously professional and efficacious; because of this, he has an excellent reputation as a criminal defense attorney. I would add that his fees were more than reasonable; I would have paid triple what I did for the outcome he achieved. I cannot recommend his services strongly or enthusiastically enough. If you are experiencing legal trouble, particularly with anything alcohol or domestic violence related, do yourself a favor and contact him right away. Engaging Neeraj as my legal counsel was one of the best decisions of my life and I am better off for it.

Professional and Competent Attorney
I was fortunate to be represented by Neeraj Singh. Neeraj is a calm, competent, professional attorney that navigated the Orange County legal system to deliver a complete dismissal of the charges against me. Thank you, Neeraj and Shouse Law Firm for all of your hard work, support and guidance.

Outstanding Attorney
Neeraj not only represented me in court and at the DMV hearing when I was charged with DUI; he walked me through the entire process of what to do when my license was suspended, getting my license reinstated, and ultimately he got my case dismissed. I could not be more pleased with the results. But mostly I appreciated the way he explained the process to me and presented all of my options along with the potential for success at each juncture. He is the ideal of what an attorney should be.

5-Star Trustworthy Lawyer
This was my 2nd time hiring Neeraj for his expertise. Neeraj was patiently explaining to me regarding the expungement process and answered all questions that I had. We outlined a plan when we should gather all needed information, when to submit the expungement request to the court, and how long to expect the wait. With Neeraj's guidance, we wasted no time and was able to get our expungement granted and heard back from the court within 6 weeks! If you need a trustworthy, patient, sincere, and professional lawyer to help your situation, please do not hesitate to give Neeraj a call. You won't regret! Thank you so much Neeraj!

Simply amazing
From start to finish Neeraj Singh was a consummate professional. He helped me navigate the muddy waters of my case and was able to get me a favorable judgement beyond all my expectations. But beyond that what he gave was relief. Im not law savvy and was dealing with some trouble from my past on my own. I had dealt with it poorly in the past and was paying for it now. I was afraid of going to jail and confused/overwhelmed by the whole process. Neeraj plainly and clearly laid out my options for me and step by step told me what he was going to do on my behalf to get the best outcome. I didnt have to do virtually ANYTHING with him on my side. He also let me know what best/worst case scenarios were and realistically let me know what i could expect. Over the next several weeks he gave me follow up calls/emails on a regular basis, sometimes not even pertaining to a specific court date, but just to remind me of where we were in the process and how things were looking. I never once had to worry about ANYTHING relating to this case. I was in good and very knowledgeble hands. In the end. He brokered 2 different amazing deals for me to choose from. But its not even the verdict that he was able to get that i was most impressed with. It was his dedication to me... his client. I would have paid three times what I did for his services, and while I hope i never need it again... should i need an attorney, it wouldnt even be a question... I'd call THE attorney: Neeraj Singh

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I want to thank Neeraj Singh and his team at the Shouse Law Group For all the help and effort to get me the best deal for my DUI. I was facing time for my DUI but with the great effort of Neeraj he got me a great deal. Now I can keep my job and stay home with my family without having to do time. I greatly appreciate all the hard work and time Neeraj has taken to reach out to me every single time there was something going on with my case and keeping me up to date with everything even through this pandemic. He’s made my life way easier and stress free. Anyone with need of an attorney I would strongly recommend them to contact Neeraj Singh for advise and/or any legal representation. He’s AWESOME!!!! Thanks a million.

Pleasant and Communicative
I hired Neeraj to help me expunge a DUI conviction from my record. From initial consultation to the end result of my petition being granted, Neeraj was a pleasure to work with. I felt heard and helped with each interaction. He explained things pertaining to my case well and answered all my questions promptly every time.

A job well done
After being stopped for a DUI, I immediately started reaching out to lawyers. I’ve had one on one consultation with many lawyers and immediately knew after my conversation with Neeraj from the Shouse Law group, that he will represent me to the fullest. Neeraj provided all the details I needed to do to ensure my case met the DA’s requirements and he even provided the needed guidance when I felt lost and somewhat depressed. Neeraj took the necessary actions to ensure he followed up given the covid-19 court delays and worked towards getting a reduced charge. Thank you again for the professionalism and the support. You’ve given me the peach of mind that my life won’t crumble before my very eyes become of one not so smart mistake.

Amazing work!
I currently used Criminal Defense Attorney Neeraj D. Singh for my DUI case that occurred last summer At the West Justice Center Court in Orange County. I honestly couldn’t have done it without him and his guidance. He was always there to answer whatever questions I had and made himself available. He was always on top of everything and kept me updated especially once Covid started. Can’t thank him enough for all his help!

Confident, knowledgeable, professional, thorough & experienced.
I have never needed to hire a defense attorney before and Shouse Law responded very quickly and professionally. I was fortunate to have Mr. Neeraj Singh on my father's case. Mr. Singh was thorough, precise, and communicated clearly with me and my father (his client). He answered questions concisely and was a pleasure to work with. After the first couple phone calls I was confident that we hired the right attorney. He was able to get the felony charges reduced to misdemeanors and tended to our needs to the best of his ability. I pray we never need to hire a defense attorney again but if I do I will not hesitate to call Shouse Law and request Mr. Singh.

Great Lawyer with Excellent Service
Neeraj Singh is a great attorney. He is very knowledgeable about all legal issues. He helped me continously during a very difficult time. He was able to negotiate with the district attorney to reduce charges. Thank you Neeraj!

Really great lawyer
Neeraj was exactly what I needed. No one wants to be in a situation where they need a lawyer, but Neeraj put me at ease. He explored every avenue of the case and knew the law inside and out. He helped me avoid wasted time and money and was able to advocate for me when I needed it. With his help, my case was fully dismissed. I especially liked that he was up to date with technology, and communicated quickly with me.

Neeraj Singh
Neeraj is my lawyer that I hired to handle my California DUI case. As a resident of Nevada, I was unable to go to court in Orange County. Neeraj not only represented me in court, he is also very prompt in getting me important information. He is very good at explaining the process and Making sure I have the information needed to make my decisions. I would highly recommend Neeraj to anybody in need of representation.

Great Attorney
Thank you to Neeraj for his determination and expertise. He was very communicative with us in this whole process...this whole process is very overwhelming and he helped us understand what was going on every step of the way. I am so happy that we found him! So worth hiring an attorney instead of having a public defender represent him. I can’t say enough good things.. so if your looking for a great attorney.. he is your man! Thanks again for everything!
