Jason Louis Trupkin

Jason was born and raised on Long Island, New York. He left in 2002 to embark on a ten-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard. Working as a Flight Mechanic on H-65 helicopters, Jason was continually engaged in various missions from search and rescue to homeland security patrols. Most notably, in 2006, Jason worked as an integral part of a four-man crew that rescued a husband and wife who became stranded on a remote and uninhabited island, in the Caribbean. And in 2010, Jason was deployed to New Orleans to assist in the largest U.S. environmental disaster that resulted from an explosion on the oil rig, Deepwater Horizon, in the Gulf of Mexico.

Implementing his unique military experiences, Jason obtained his law degree from San Joaquin College of Law, in Clovis, California, where he was recognized by the Witkin Legal Institute for graduating at the top of his class in criminal law. Immediately after graduating from law school, Jason completed the California State Bar Examination and was licensed to practice law in California.

Based on his academic performance, Jason was offered his first associate attorney position; practicing criminal and family law. Shortly thereafter, Jason realized his passion for criminal law while assisting in his first criminal trial for attempted murder. He witnessed the importance of criminal defense when the jurors returned the verdict of not guilty.

So, Jason immediately joined the Fresno County Public Defender’s Office. And, in his first trial as a public defender, he obtained an acquittal for the charge of vehicular manslaughter. Since then, Jason has continued to excel in the area of criminal defense. Now, after founding the Law Office of Jason L. Trupkin, he continues to zealously represent his clients who have become entangled with the criminal justice system and emphasizes compassion and patience as he guides them through some of the most stressful times of their lives.
