About Jordan
Biography
In brief, I am a former prosecutor in SLO County. Prior to that, I was an attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice, law clerk to two federal judges, and corporate litigator. In my career I have successfully tried dozens of cases to jury and court. My experience as a former prosecutor helps me evaluate cases from both the prosecution and defense standpoints, which is a major asset in formulating a successful case strategy for your case.
Most cases resolve short of trial. But an optimal resolution requires an attorney that understands the system, the players, and can craft a resolution in your best interest. It also requires an attorney that the other side knows will try the case.
Call us today at if you need excellent representation at a reasonable rate.

BEST Lawyer in SLO County!!!
I originally made the mistake of hiring a different attorney for my DUI case. The case at that point felt helpless and I was on my way to some hefty jail time and fines. Right before my court date, I decided I needed to take action and switch attorneys or else I'd be facing extreme consequences that ...

Amazing DUI/DWI Defense
I will forever be grateful to Jordan and his firm and for the fact that I chose him to represent me in my DUI defense. He got the very best possible outcome and ended up saving me a lot of money and time(I would have been so lost in the process without his counsel). Definitely worth the hire!
