About company

Are you a person that embodies the principle that “excellence is a habit and not an act?” Are you looking to find a home with a rapidly growing, San Diego-based, law firm? Do you embody our mission of honesty and transparency, setting new standards, and always doing the right thing? We are seeking an experienced professional who can take on a wide variety of responsibilities as our next legal assistant.

We strive to always deliver excellence and create a positive and lasting impact on the San Diego community beyond criminal defense. We revel in being unique in the way we approach everything related to criminal defense and business, and were recently named a 2022 Better Business Bureau Torch Awards for Ethics Winner.
