Jeffrey L. Mendelman is a premier San Francisco-based civil rights attorney.
Purpose + Work = Results
I approach my craft with a simple formula for getting you the best result possible. Litigation is my passion and I work extremely hard. In the era of mass incarceration, you need someone who is willing to take the issues head-on and call out injustice wherever it rears its ugly head. If you find yourself facing criminal charges, a loved one has been killed by the police, or you need a strong litigator, it would be an honor to represent you.

Realistic Expectations & Witty Approach Tactics
I had never been involved in a personal lawsuit prior to contacting Jeffrey Mendelman. I was referred to Jeffrey by a firm my family and I had worked with in the past. When I contacted Jeffrey, I was not at ease! He gladly accepted my case, updated me with realistic answers and approaches as we m...
