Attorney Trevor S. Potts was born and raised on the island of Oahu in the state of Hawai’i. He obtained his B.A. in Psychology from the University of San Diego in 2008, and his Juris Doctorate from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 2014. There, Mr. Potts was on distinguished honor roll and won the CALI Excellence for the Future Award, the Witkin Award, and the Jefferson Medal for Sports Law. He was also the chapter president of the National Lawyers Guild and a member of the Pro Bono Honors Society. Upon graduation, Mr. Potts received his certification from the Center for Law and Social Justice at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.
While attending law school, Mr. Potts had the tremendous opportunity to intern for the San Diego County Public Defender’s Office, the Law Office of Marc Kohnen, Rockwood and Noziska LLP, and the Singelton Law Firm. During his time with the Public Defender, he was able to assist on cases ranging from homicides to drug-related offenses. In his last semester of law school, before obtaining his law license, he successfully drafted and argued a motion to suppress evidence (PC § ), which eventually lead to dismissal of his client's case.
Attorney Potts’ legal experience began at an early age. His father began his legal career as a criminal defense attorney and has been a civil litigator for over 40 years in Honolulu, Hawai’i. Attorney Potts has experience in criminal cases ranging from misdemeanors to felonies, including DUIs, murders, drug offenses, domestic violence, elder abuse, sex crimes, and firearm offenses.
