Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyers

Years of Experience and Results to Prove It

Practicing in Los Angeles Superior Courts and All Judicial Districts

When the stakes are high and you’re facing criminal charges, you need a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer with experience, who’s available to take your case quickly and confidently, who will go the extra mile to thoroughly investigate your case, and who gets the best possible result in or out of court.

When the stakes are high, you’re looking for a legal powerhouse with tremendous results for their clients. You’re looking for a criminal law boutique specializing in aggressive defense on all misdemeanor and felony cases. You’re looking for a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer from Kestenbaum, Eisner & Gorin, LLP.

Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have a combined 50 years of legal experience and credentials that few defense firms can match. Alan Eisner is a “State-Bar Certified Criminal Law Specialist,” demonstrating that he has the highest level of experience in criminal law. Firm partners David S. Kestenbaum is a former criminal trial prosecutor and Dmitry Gorin is a former Senior District Attorney with firsthand knowledge of how the government builds a case against an accused person (and where the government is likely to go wrong with its case). He is also a law professor at UCLA and Pepperdine University. The firm brings this knowledge to the DEFENSE of people like you who have been charged with felony and misdemeanor crimes in the San Fernando Valley and throughout Southern California. Having worked as criminal prosecutors in the Van Nuys Superior Court, San Fernando Superior Court, Sylmar Juvenile, Newhall Superior Court, Glendale Superior Court, and Pasadena Superior Court, we have extensive firsthand knowledge of the criminal justice process. We have two paralegals on staff. Our attorneys have been AV-rated under Martindale Hubbell’s Peer Review Rating™ process.

Your case is personally handled by one of the three firm partners in and out of court, unlike certain criminal defense firms where legal runners or case managers work on clients’ cases.

A strong defense begins immediately, not in the courtroom. As soon as you suspect you may be charged with a crime, call us! If you have one phone call from jail, call us! Call toll-free at 877-781-1570.

Our law office is located across the street from the Van Nuys Courthouse, the police station, and the prosecutor’s office. Early intervention in your case can begin immediately. An aggressive defense can sometimes mean your case is rejected, dismissed, or filed as a misdemeanor rather than a felony.

A strong defense begins with the facts. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers work with a premier licensed private investigator, Boykoff Investigations, whose offices are located on-site in our office suite. David Boykoff, the President of Boykoff Investigations, joined our team in 2003. We don’t rely on police investigations—we get the facts ourselves and we can start investigating your case immediately. That can pay off in successful results. It is a well-known fact that witnesses can be swayed or intimidated by the police, and our ability to get recorded statements or physical evidence early in an investigation can prevent that from happening. Witnesses often lose their memory or change their position, so memorializing their statements early is imperative to a successful defense.
