FIRM PROFILE

The practice of Bird & Bird spans Los Angeles and Orange Counties. We also handle matters in other jurisdictions such as Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Riverside Counties.

Our Philosophy

At Bird & Bird, we believe a criminal defense firm should focus on just that: Criminal Defense.

We do not dabble in other practice areas such as family law, personal injury, tax or probate. Our commitment to clients in need of criminal defense is evident in our experience with virtually all types of adult and juvenile criminal matters, including serious and violent felonies, misdemeanors, infractions and traffic. The practice encompasses state and federal court matters and related administrative proceedings as well.

Over the years, Bird & Bird has helped thousands of clients at all stages of the criminal legal process, including pre-filing / investigation, pre- and post-indictment / preliminary hearing, pre-trial, trial, sentencing, post-conviction and appeal.

We believe so strongly in our commitment to criminal defense that we dedicate valuable time and resources each year to the cause of improving the criminal justice system. Our longstanding memberships and involvement with organizations such as the Los Angeles County Bar Association Criminal Justice Section, Inn of Court, California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, and California Public Defenders Association demonstrate our seriousness and commitment to our field.

Most importantly, we believe in providing exceptional and unparalleled customer service to all of our clients, because attention and care are often most-needed and hardest-to-find when you are dealing with a criminal problem.
