"A Passion for the Law, Compassion for Our Clients" regardless of whether you come to us because you have been seriously injured or arrested for a crime. At Andrade Law Offices in Santa Barbara, we are committed to providing positive results in criminal defense and personal injury cases.

In personal injury plaintiff law, we obtained one of the largest verdicts in California's history. In the noted case Fraiser v.

Our record of success in both personal injury and criminal defense cases stems from the experience of lead attorney Steven R. Andrade. He is a former Assistant Attorney General and Supervising Deputy District Attorney. He is known for his willingness to take extremely difficult cases to trial and succeed. In many cases, our trial history gives us leverage when negotiating with opponents. Insurance companies and prosecutors know that if they do not accept our demands to resolve a case, they will have to go up against us in the courtroom, which is our battleground.
We have prevailed in criminal cases defending clients charged with:
Every person deserves to be heard and deserves a fair and equitable defense. People are often innocent of crimes for which they are charged. It is up to the defense attorney to present the strongest possible case on behalf of their client. As a former prosecutor, I know both sides of the law.
At Andrade Law Offices, we understand you are looking for a lawyer because you have encountered a potentially life-changing situation; count on us to give your case the attention it deserves. We are deeply committed to every case we handle because we care about getting the best possible outcome for our clients. Our goal, for every case, is to devise a strategy to obtain the best possible results.
No lawyer wins every case, but you want a lawyer who will never give up trying, and a lawyer who is experienced in difficult and hard fought trials, is the lawyer you want on your side.

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2012.
Discipline, Probation; no Actual Suspension issued in CA, 2012
updated on 01/20/2016This sanction means the attorney had a suspension placed on hold (and ultimately removed) by complying with certain requirements.
“This disciplinary action is a result of an accident due to low blood sugar. I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was a child. I had a low blood sugar reaction and hit parked car. I needed sugar so I returned to my office to get fruit juice which is where the police found and cited me. I was disciplined because I left the scene of an accident.”
