I was born in Korea and immigrated to Orange County, CA when I was 5 years old.  My father, a gardener for 45 years, who worked this hard job until he was 75 years old, and the most honest, hardworking, and humble man I know, and the man I respect the most, told me... son, we are not rich so I give you 2 years to learn English...then you have to get straight "A's" in order to get into a University on a scholarship.  In Fountain Valley High, I had a 4.4 GPA, which got me into UCLA and THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO on a scholarship.  I thought I'd like to see some snow.  At U Chicago, I was top 5% of my class which got me a scholarship to Washburn Law in Kansas.  There, I was ranked #2 in my class. A large law firm usually hires only 1 person from my law school per year. I was hired by Blackwell, Sanders, Matheny, Weary and Lombardi employing hundreds of attorneys.  I didn't like corporate law practice much because I rarely shook a client's hand. Next, I worked for the O.C. District Attorney's Office. Criminal Law was interesting but I always felt sorry for the accused who seemed to have lived a hard life with severe disadvantages. Next, I wanted to practice different types of law. I opened my own general practice 21 years ago.  Before getting my law license, I worked mowing lawns, painting apartment complexes, laying bricks, digging ditches, delivering heavy furniture, generally eating dust.  I know hard work.  When I was growing up in O.C. I was the only Asian in my elementary and junior high school. Skinheads beat on me regularly for years; often I would end up bloody because I was that boy who never gave in. Numerous times, I have had my nose broken, my fingers broken, and black eyes. But I learned how to fight. In college, despite maintaining top 5%, I sprinted on the track team, performed in theater with the Black Friar's Club, and played for pizza money at frat houses in a punk band called the Empty Set with my best friends who were all physics majors and now hold high positions at investment banks. I sympathize with the homeless, people who are addicts, and those who haven't quite been able to live perfect lives.  Life is hard; the older I get, the more I respect the elderly for the physical and emotional pain they bear everyday.  I have borne the pain of a motorcycle accident, snapping my femur in two, breaking my ankle, ribs, and shoulders, struggling in a wheelchair, then a walker, then crutches, then finally walking, then running again.  I have had 2 heart surgeries including an open heart surgery where they sawed my sternum in half and pried open my ribs.  I do my best to be honest, humble, and hardworking.  I sleep 4 hours a day and work very hard. I love to practice law, in particular, creating interesting ways to solve problems quickly and efficiently so that my clients and I can move onto the next battle in our lives.

I specialize in criminal law. I not only studied that as my undergraduate major at the University of California, Irvine but I also focused on that during law school. I worked at the Orange County Public Defender's Office for 10 years where I handled hundreds of cases every month. I have litigated over 40 jury and court trials and won numerous ones. The key to winning is excellent strategy and gaining the trust of the jury to believe in your client.  I am an expert in  criminal law. I know the courts in Orange County  extremely well. I have been in front of the criminal judges and worked on numerous trials and cases  directly with the Orange County District Attorney's Office and the City Attorney's offices.  I know who your case needs to get in front of  to get the best settlements and the best chance of winning at trial. I will make sure your case gets looked at fairly and explore all available options that you might be entitled to.. I also specialize in personal injury law. If you have been in an accident and feel overwhelmed with the legal process, I can help. Not only can I empathize with the physical turmoil you are going through, I can easily walk you through the insurance process. I will handle your vehicle being recovered and restored, your health necessities by working with the right medical team, and any pain and suffering settlements you are entitled to. I will handle all the correspondance with the other party's insurance company so you can focus on getting well.

I represent consumers in arbitrations, individual lawsuits, and class actions when they've been mistreated by companies using unfair business practices or false advertising. We primarily represent clients on a contingent fee basis, so any money we make comes from any recovery we get.. I spent a number of years litigating high-profile technology cases for one of the top plaintiff's firms in the country, so I have lots of experience going up against the best lawyers a big company can buy.. In my free time I write novels as a hobby and I helped fight for romance novelists to be able to keep using the word "cocky" in their book titles.

I am Walter Haines and I appreciate you visting my web page.. I suppose the first thing I want to tell you is that I CARE alot about my clients.  While many attorneys may say this, I TRULY MEAN IT. It has long been my passion to serve other people. Over my 37 years of practicing law, all of my areas of practice have consistently invoved the service of clients. I am very, well known by the public and my adversaries as a staunch advocate for my clients and am proud to be listed as a 2014 Super Lawyer.. I have handled over 2000 cases.  The proudest achivement in handling these cases is when a new case is referred from an existing or past client. This is the "crown jewel" in my book. It tells me that my clients trust me with their friends and relatives- a great compliment.. I believe when a person is passionate about what they do, it shows in the results of their work. I have taken on many of the largest corporations in the world in complex litigation am I am proud to say that my clients have been awarded in excess of $300,000,000. I think these results speak for themselves.. I look forward to assisting you with your legal matters.  Please contact me and let me know how I can help you. One thing I can assure you is that if I am unable to help you, I will go the extra mile to provide you resources so you may find the help you need.. Sincerely,. Walt

Denise Yaniv is not your typical L.A. lawyer. She was born and raised on a horse and cattle ranch in North Dakota, the oldest child of Darryl and Donna Blessum. She has always had determination, and her compassion for all creatures led to her sneaking any kind of domestic or wild animal into her bedroom to care for as a pet when a girl, to pursuing a career as a paramedic, and ultimately becoming a compassionate, aggressive, dedicated criminal defense attorney. Denise's goal to be a paramedic led her to become a police officer (a prerequisite set by her employer, despite her disinclination), ultimately graduating as "The Honor Graduate" of her police academy .  However, Denise's law enforcement service became instrumental in shaping her determination to become the very best criminal defense attorney she could be. During the time Denise was a police officer/paramedic, she witnessed frequent injustices perpetrated by her peers, especially towards minorities, while the system turned a blind eye. She experienced this behavior first hand as a woman. But, being a fighter, Denise stood up to the injustice and beat the department.  In 2000  Denise became a first-generation college student, moving to Southern California with two small children and tons of determination. In 2003 she graduated Magna Cum Laude from UCLA with a bachelor's degree in psychology. In 2005, Ms. Yaniv obtained her J.D. at Southwestern University School of Law after completing the accelerated SCALE program. Since then Denise has made it her life's mission to passionately fight for those who have been wronged by our legal system and to uphold the U.S. Constitution.   Ms. Yaniv surrounds herself with teammates, other professionals who have displayed dedication and integrity to assist  in the defense of her clients.  Different Defense Team takes the process a step further, and helps to facilitate rehabilitation and life redirection after the criminal process is complete. Denise and her teammates make up the Different Defense Team, and will be in your corner to tirelessly fight for you and your Constitutional rights!

At the Law Offices of Tina Dao, I take the time to listen and explain your options.. What good is legal service if you don't understand the approach? When I meet with clients in my office, whether the meeting is the first or I have been meeting with the client for years, you are my guest and I treat you as such.. During my meetings, I do not explain things to you just so I can hear myself talk. My goal is to use this time in an efficient manner to hear your needs and goals, explain and present a plan of action in easy to understand terms, and ultimately that you will feel comfortable with the plan when you leave the meeting.. I realize your case is important, large or small and your time is valuable, and I are committed to help you resolve your matter.

Amanda’s passion for children and public service began at an early age through her extensive involvement in organizations such as the Girl Scouts to touch the lives of others.. At the age of seventeen, Amanda engaged in an immense multicultural project to encourage an understanding of shared heritage. In recreating an adobe in her neighborhood, she singlehandedly raised funds and planned the reconstruction. Her goal was to achieve an experience and appreciation for children that transcended formal education. For this effort, Amanda was awarded the highest award in Girl Scouting, the Gold Award, receiving honorable mentions from former US Presidents, CA Governors, Legislative Entities and community based organizations.. Amanda’s emersion in public service activities extended through her time at California State University, Northridge while pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Child and Adolescent Development. While in undergrad Amanda coordinated and directed a summer camp for underprivileged children and volunteered for organizations such as habitat for humanity, Toys for Tots, Santa Comes to Agoura, and many more.. It was during an internship turned job at CHIME Institute as a special education aide in a full inclusion elementary school class that Amanda’s public service interest focuses specifically towards education advocacy and children’s rights. Working with children with disabilities inspired Amanda to attend law school to advocate on behalf of students with disabilities.. While attending Whittier Law School (WLS), Amanda became a fellow in Whittier’s prestigious Center for Children’s Rights (CCR), participated in specialized curriculum focused on the legal and social needs of children, attended numerous colloquia engaging in pressing considerations of child advocacy, served as director of CCR’s Public Service and Community Outreach committee coordinating many outreach events and participated in WLS’s Pro Bono Special Education Legal Clinic.. Additionally during her time at WLS, Amanda’s Legal Research Paper titled “The Many Children Left Behind the No Child Left Behind Act” was selected for publication and presentation at the Hawaii International Conference on Education in 2012 where Amanda had the opportunity to learn about education systems across the globe and advocate for social change in education.. After graduating with a Juris Doctorate and passing the California State Bar Examination on her first attempt, Amanda joined a small law firm where she advocated on behalf of special education students. Amanda further advocated on behalf of students with special needs during her pro bono clinical work with TACA (Talk about Curing Autism) in 2013 and 2014..

After dedicating my practice exclusively to family law matters since 1997, I passed the specialization exam and became a Certified Family Law Specialist in July 2008. My boutique firm is small, and my case load is managed exclusively by me. I do not have associate attorneys who will work on your case. I like to meet my clients in person, obtain the history of their case, and assess their individual situation. My goal is to settle cases where I can, and litigate when necessary. I am a tough fighter in court when litigation is called for. If children are involved, I try to settle if possible, as it is better for the children in the long run, to have parents who can work together. If the parents are at war, the children inevitably suffer. When litigation is the only alternative, I devote my energy and time to doing the best job possible to achieve the desired results. I have been married since 2000, and have two young children, so I understand the demands of balancing a career with raising children. Call today for a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine if I can help you!

After a number of years in this profession -- specifically, family law and all it entails -- I remain convinced that the best results are often obtained when the two people dissolving their union sit down and resolve their issues outside of court.  This means less stress to the parties and their children, less money spent on attorneys, and less animosity between the parties.. The challenge is sometimes to determine whether a client's case is appropriate for a mediated settlement.  If your spouse was argumentative, unreasonable or abusive in your relationship, then they won't change during your dissolution.  Expect more of the same, only amplified many times; you will probably end up in court.  So if you believe you will be getting divorced and you're married to such a person, by all means, plan ahead.  Your spouse will not play fair, so find out how to protect yourself.  I provide a no-charge, one-half hour consultation so you can determine the steps you should take prior to filing for divorce.  We hope for the best, and plan for the worst.  By taking preemptive and proactive steps, you will protect your rights and make the dissolution process much easier for your entire family.

A practicing lawyer, since June 2011, I spent much of my career solving business problems for federal agencies.  It is the focus on problem-solving, which is the core of my practice, and the value I bring to clients.  Tell me what your objective is, and let me help you get there.
