Attorney Alan Kessler

Directly out of law school I went to work for Los Angeles County as a Deputy Public Defender handling criminal matters for 8 years. During that time period I tried almost every conceivable type of criminal case in State Court.

Jury Trials:

Misdemeanor trials: In excess of 100

Felony trials: in excess of 50

Types of trials included:

Murder, kidnapping, gang cases, rape, assaults, drug cases, extortion, embezzlement, domestic violence and numerous drunk driving cases.

Qualified on several occasions as an expert in criminal law.

Qualified for the Superior Court of Los Angeles as an expert for criminal defense strategy.

1979: Entered Private Practice.

My practice is limited to Criminal Defense and Personal Injury. Each case is given my personal attention and every client is treated with care and respect.

1985 to present: member of the Los Angeles County Indigent Criminal Defense Appointments Panel (ICDA) an organization operated by the LA County Bar Association which provides defense counsel for persons charged with criminal offenses.

During my thirty years in criminal defense I have built an excellent reputation in the Los Angeles County courts among Judges, DA’s and colleagues.
