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.
