Judith Ann Odbert

My union hired Judith to represent me in an internal investigation and for potential criminal prosecution. Judith was passionate in my defense and professional. She controlled the legal process in so many ways, i believe i received the best possible outcome in my case. With Judith at my side, i felt ...i was safe in this process. Judith’s tactics created an atmosphere in which my case was settled honorably with both sides feeling satisfied with the outcome.

After serving 20 plus years as a Sacramento Police Officer, I was accused of dishonesty, neglect of duty and making false statements. Not too bad, right? A dedicated, enthusiastic, and ethical police officer branded a liar and idler. Professional police officers don't behave like that, and I never... met one who did. In addition to other adverse action, I was demoted from Corporal to Officer and removed from the training officer program which incidentally crushed me in a dispiriting way. After two and a half years of hell, coping with disgrace and humiliation, I was exonerated in arbitration and made whole again. I was innocent and a victim of immoral justice. Thankfully, I was represented by one of the finest lawyers in the world, Judith A. Odbert, of Mastagni Holstedt. I will never forget! As my representative, Ms. Odbert never waivered to defend me from dreadful consequences which befall a falsely-accused Sacramento Police Officer.
