ProAbout Joseph
I've been a criminal defense attorney for 30 years. Like many attorneys, I started out in the DA's office but quickly moved on to private practice. In 1993, I opened the Law Offices of Joseph S. Farina and have been in private practice ever since.
From 2009 through 2015, I handled nothing but sex cases, includng child molestation, rape, sexual assault, statutory rape and possession of child pornography. Of my last 50 felony jury trials dating back to December 2008, 48 have been sex cases.

Mr. Farina brings a certain knowledge about the criminal law that only 29 years of experience can bring. I'd recommend him to anyone seeking representation!

I have run into Joe in the Sacramento area and he is well known to take on cases that are very tough that many other defense attorneys just aren't experienced enough to deal with or scared to do so. Great asset to the criminal defense bar!
