Since 1977 my solo law practice has focused on defending people accused of crimes at both the trial and appellate levels in State and Federal Courts. I also take on other types of work – i.e., Civil Rights Litigation, Administrative Writs, etc. -- that I find interesting and/or important, often putting together or being invited to join unique associations of talented lawyers to work collaboratively to accomplish specific goals. The unifying theme in all of my work is fighting back against abuses of power by government, corporations and individuals in authority.
I have never had, nor sought, a high volume practice. Rather, I pride myself on providing high quality, personalized, services and work-product for my clients. Virtually all of my clients are referred to me by other lawyers and satisfied clients. Though I enjoy trial level work, I have begun focusing more of my practice on criminal appeals and writs. I find this work interesting and satisfying as it brings together all of the education and experience that I’ve accumulated over the decades.
There are two generally accepted peer-review organizations that rank attorneys on their ethical standards and legal abilities and I am recognized by both: I have held Martindale-Hubble’s highest ranking of AV* since 1992, and have been designated a “Southern California Super Lawyer”.**
I am a native of Los Angeles. After spending my junior year at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem I returned and graduated with honors from what was then “Cal. State College, Sonoma” (now “Sonoma State University”) in 1974, and am a 1977 “Dean’s List” graduate of Loyola Law School.
Please don’t hesitate to call (310) 428-1092 or email me at jcneedle@verizon.net if you think I can be of assistance with your legal situation.
