CRIMINAL DEFENSE
Criminal Defense Specialist
To legally advertise as a criminal defense specialist, the attorney must pass a written test and undergo extensive peer review by other criminal defense attorneys, judges and prosecutors. If you had a serious medical condition wouldn’t you seek the services of a specialist? The same is true in criminal defense. A criminal defense attorney who is a general practitioner will rarely have the expertise to provide you with the best defense against criminal charges.
WHY CHOOSE A CRIMINAL DEFENSE SPECIALIST ?
If you have a heart problem would you go to a foot doctor? Of course not. But many attorneys advertise as “CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER” and some (without State Bar approval), call themselves “CRIMINAL DEFENSE SPECIALISTS”. But are they ? The specialist certification requires academic achievement, trial skills and certification from other attorneys. Unlike flashy advertising claims, the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization certification is an objective, earned achievement. Only a few hundred attorneys in the entire State of California are certified criminal defense specialists.
Both Daniel Horowitz and Carmela Caramagno are criminal defense specialists certified by the State of California Board of Legal Specialization. Tom Kensok is a former Assistant District Attorney who was lead counsel in over 100 serious felony trials. Oksana Tsykova is a National Trial Lawyer “Top 40 Under 40” award recipient.
