Anthony V. Salerno & Associates is a true full-service criminal defense law firm. We have successfully handled the full range of criminal cases in both State and Federal Court. We bring the same high level of professionalism and energy to all of our cases.
Few criminal defense firms have our commitment to excellence. Each matter is thoroughly evaluated for every possible legal and factual defense, and we expend tremendous energy to ensure that all avenues to success are fully exploited.
Besides being a team of trial lawyers, the firm particularly prides itself on its repeated successes in persuading prosecutors to reject cases before filing. The firm uses a systematic process we call “AIM” (aggressive intervention method). We do this by rapidly assessing the facts of a case, putting together a comprehensive and well-supported package of materials, getting that package to the prosecuting attorney on the case, and then relying on the hard-earned trust and respect we have among prosecutors.
Our commitment to client satisfaction is proven by our unique policy of sending out client evaluation forms at the completion of all cases. This policy ensures that we get the feedback from our clients that allows us to provide what we feel are the best criminal defense services available in Southern California.
Finally, as befits our location in Los Angeles, the firm has handled numerous high-profile and celebrity cases. While we strongly prefer to handle all such cases as discreetly and privately as possible, we are also highly savvy in using any unavoidable media coverage to our clients’ best advantage.
