Focused on Achieving Extraordinary Results
Experienced Los Angeles County Trial Lawyers
At the Law Offices of James W. Spertus, we focus on one thing: Results. If you or a member of your family has been charged with a crime, or is involved in civil litigation, you need an attorney with specialized expertise and knowledge. You need to count on your attorney to turn over every rock, examine the evidence, and bring years of jury trial experience to the table to decide how best to handle your case. In criminal cases, we don’t accept the prosecutor's presentation of surface facts to guide the outcome of your case. Rather, we exhaustively prepare your case for trial and find the facts necessary to protect your rights. We bring these same skills to civil litigation. We prepare cases to present them to juries to win.
“In every criminal case, the burden of proof is on the prosecutor, and we hold prosecutors to that burden. As a former federal prosecutor myself, I understand how prosecutors bring a law enforcement bias to every case, and defense lawyers must be able to visualize how surface facts will ultimately be presented to a jury. We take extra measures to protect your future, and often find holes in a prosecutor's case that prosecutors themselves do not discover until trial.” — Attorney James Spertus
