I have been practicing in the areas of corporate and real estate transactions for 28 years.  In the corporate area, I handle mergers, stock and asset purchase and sale transactions, private offereings, entity structuring, employment and buy-sell agreements, corporate governance and general business contracts.  In the real estate area, my practice includings commercial property acquistions, securing financing on behalf of lenders and borrowers, complex title issues, lease (ground, office and reatail) transactions, and licensing and easement arrangements.. I am also a founding partner of AFRCT, LLP, which is a full-service law firm headquartered in Pasadena, California.  Our 35+ lawyers can service most every legal need encountered by today's businesses, including litigation, appeals, bankruptcy, corporate, real estate, employment, executive compensation, tax and estate planning, as well as a signficant lender liability defense practice.  We have offices in California, Oregon and Washington.

I guide clients through the divorce process with an emphasis on resolving all issues by written agreement, if possible.. I also handle stepparent adoptions, adult adoptions, agency adoptions, guardianships, as well as appeals and consultation on various family law related matters, such as juvenile dependency.

I grew up in Bakersfield and attended Centennial High School before moving away for college. At Centennial I was a member of the “We the People” mock congressional debate team, which inspired me to pursue the path of law. I graduated with high honors from the University of California, Santa Barbara earning a bachelor’s degree in business economics. I graduated from Pacific McGeorge School of Law with great distinction. I practice in the areas of litigation and transactions, including trust, estate and probate litigation, and general business litigation, as well as corporate and real estate transactions. I enjoy spending time with family & friends, dining out & going to social events, and staying active.

I feel passionate about representing people who have either been seriously injured or have lost loved ones as the result of mistakes made by others.  Those people have to not only deal with the fact that their lives are forever changed by the physical and emotional pain that has been inflicted on them through no fault of their own, but they also have to fight against the insurance company for the person or company who caused their injury or loss.  That insurance company is willing to spend any amount of money, and do anything, to find a way to underpay for what was done to them.  The insurance company cares nothing about fairness or justice, only saving money.  Nothing brings me more satisfaction than fighting hard for my clients as their voice against this insurance industry and getting fairness and justice for them.. I specialize, as does my entire firm, in representing the seriously injured.  The cases range from significant automobile accidents to dangerous conditions of property (private or governmental) to construction site accidents to products liability claims to dog bites incidents.. I and my firm have been practicing at trial lawyers for over 30 years and we bring that experience and commitment to every case.. For more information about me and my entire firm, go to

I do this to help people. I take the approach that working with an attorney should be simple and not as difficult as often made to be. My response to your questions generally begin with a counseling, "Yes, if... " rather than an absolute "No!" My aggressiveness is saved for the zealous representation for those adversaries that run counter to  my client's pursuit of justice. I prepare my cases as they should be, to go to trial. We have no qualms about taking your case the distance and are prepared to do so in each and every case.. I graduated law school in 2002. Rather than immediately practicing, I owned and operated a business for four years providing everyday people access to the American Dream. Learning the fundamentals of business, real estate, financing and employee rights was a proper foundation and invaluable to my overall business insight.. Next, my legal knowledge and everyday experience allowed me to share my legal acumen as an adjunct professor of legal studies for an American Bar Association certified legal program. Here, I relished in providing young minds the fundamentals of various legal fields and civil procedure framework. I truly believe the best way to master and sharpen any professional expertise is to do so through the art of teaching others.. Over the past years, I have met and worked for some great attorneys and law firms. Having mentors that you can learn a degree of skill from is essential in the practice of law. Under the tutelage of these fine attorneys, I learned the art of litigation including real estate, family, employment, criminal, personal injury (products liability and environmental tort), taxation and bankruptcy (debt) law. Honing my legal skills in these areas of practice would provide me the ability to provide my clients with the best representation from advocacy, skills of negotiation, litigation and all the way through trial team work.. Now, as a licensed attorney I have the luxury in private practice to work with clients in need of my service. I get to know my clients well, and work with them to provide the solutions that best resolve the legal issues they may encounter in their daily lives. We are a client-oriented firm and are zealous in our pursuit of justice on their behalf.  Call or Email today, we can help.

I care deeply about my clients and fight aggressively on their behalf.  I have represented individuals from all walks of life in both state and federal court, including business professionals, teachers, medical doctors, members of the entertainment industry and service employees, as well as business entities.  Clients come to me with their freedom at stake and lives in danger of ruin when they find themselves being criminally investigated, or after they have been charged.  Many of my clients are referred to me by other lawyers who have the utmost faith and trust in my ability to fight hard and tenaciously.. I am a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard College, and an accomplished, award-winning criminal defense attorney.  I am also an adjunct law professor, and Emmy award-winning broadcast TV legal analyst who frequently appears on local and network media outlets, as well as on radio programs.   Before starting my law firm, I worked for two large law firms, and also served as a federal prosecutor in the Los Angeles U.S. Attorney's Office.  As a prosecutor I tried 60 cases to verdict (never losing a jury trial) and tried numerous high-profile, precedent-setting cases, including the 1985 kidnapping, torture and murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico.  This experience as a prosecutor has been invaluable because as a criminal defense attorney, I know how prosecutors strategize and think as they investigate and charge people with crimes.  I am able to carefully dissect a prosecutor's case to find the weaknesses and flaws, which makes me a tough negotiator, as well as highly effective in front of judges and juries.. Please call or email me to discuss your personal situation, and be confident that I will be your be your best and trusted advocate.  The consultation is free of charge.. (Spanish translation: Por favor llámeme o mándeme su mensaje a través de email para discutir su situación personal, and esté seguro que yo seré su mejor abogado, y de completa confianza.  La consulta es gratis.)

I believe that addressing my clients’ needs requires more than just knowledge of the law. My goal and commitment is to provide my clients with personalized, dedicated and impeccable service and legal representation.  My clients are always well informed about the status of their case because I take the time to speak to my clients and give thorough explanations. I handle my clients’  legal matters efficiently, aggressively and aimed to achieve successful results.   Since 1983, I have worked in the legal field handling personal injury and civil litigation cases.   In addition to accident cases, I also handle dog bites, habitability matters;  transactional/lease/contract work, employment/labor law matters, and can help you create wills and trusts.

I am known for my ability to handle extremely challenging legal situations. I have handled some of the most challenging situations regarding custody, support, and high-asset divorces.

I am trial lawyer who represents companies in commercial litigation and a former “big law” partner who decided to cut a different path. After 20 years with some of the leading national firms and a stint as a government enforcer, I founded Charis Lex to bring my brand of hands-on, principled advocacy to a wider range of businesses.. Although I’ve tried cases involving a range of issues—such as stock option contracts, trade secrets, fraudulent conveyances, and patent infringement damages—I have a particular expertise in antitrust. I had the honor of serving as a deputy assistant director at the Federal Trade Commission, leading enforcement actions challenging anticompetitive conduct. While I was there, I was privileged to serve as trial counsel in a couple of high-profile actions. I received the Distinguished Service Award for my work at the FTC.  I am the only former FTC competition deputy assistant practicing in Los Angeles.. I’ve been fortunate to have a few folks say nice things about my work. I was described as a “talented litigator” with an “excellent attention to detail,” “who efficiently manages discovery with an eye toward summary judgment and trial” in Chambers USA. I was named an “Attorney of the Year” by California Lawyer. I have been listed among the Southern California Super Lawyers. I’ve been called a “real trial lawyer.”. I take my craft seriously. Trial skills and substantive legal expertise don’t just happen. I am a graduate of the ABOTA Trial Academy. I served as an instructor in Mock Trial Advocacy at the Georgetown University Law Center. I regularly publish on substantive issues. In addition, I serve in the leadership of the ABA Section of Antitrust Law and have been a non-governmental advisor to the International Competition Network.

I am committed to delivering the highest level of legal representation regardless of the size of the client or the issues in dispute. As a firm that counts its trial practice as one of its core specialties, we are committed to the principle that aggressive, knowledgeable and efficient preparation creates opportunities for successful outcomes for our clients regardless of the nature of the case. I also devote a significant amount of my practice to the area of Estate Planning where we try and help our clients avoid probate and estate taxes and protect minor children in the event that one or both parents die. Everyone should have a plan "just in case". Estate Planning is not just for the wealthy anymore.. Because we utilize the latest technology, we are always available to our clients and have the capability to respond quickly to fast-moving developments in a case. This is particularly important to many of our East Coast clients whose working day starts hours before most lawyers on the West Coast are getting out of bed.. Unlike other firms, we achieve results for our clients as rather than slavishly following the "process". We treat the process for what it is: subordinate to the goals of the client. "What will advance the objectives of the client?…How will this tactic achieve the client's goals…?" These are the questions we ask and answer when pursuing every matter. Furthermore, our clients play an integral part in the formation of the goals, objectives and tactics and work closely with us in implementing them. We want and expect our clients to be full partners and not merely bystanders in their own matters.. There are "paper lawyers" and there are "trial attorneys". Many lawyers proficient at the "process" fall on their face when asked to convince 12 ordinary people of the righteousness of a particular cause. To be effective at trial a lawyer must have the right mix of street smarts, legal knowledge and ease of presence in front of a jury - in short, "trial charisma". This combination of qualities makes an attorney a worthy opponent before and during trial. Managing partner Christopher Bagnaschi possesses these qualities and has been successful over 80% of the time. When an opposing counsel sizes up our firm, they run a verdict search and quickly conclude that we are not novices or afraid to try cases - an intangible factor in the calculus of litigation.. Whether you are a large corporation or an individual, your matter will benefit from the reputation we enjoy in the legal community. Please feel free to contact us to discuss how we can help you.

I am a lawyer in Southern California where I represent people in civil and criminal court.

I am a California attorney specializing in consumer bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, debt collection defense and real property litigation.  However, I can handle most litigation matters as well as draft and review contracts and agreements.. With regard to my bankruptcy and foreclosure practice, I only represent debtors and homeowners. In addition to bankruptcy, I also handle lender liability, mortgage fraud, foreclosure defense, quiet title and unlawful detainer actions on behalf of homeowners. Thus, I can advise clients who are in jeopardy of losing their home as to all of their legal options, not just bankruptcy.. In these tough economic times, filing bankruptcy may be necessary to get a fresh start or to reorganize legal and financial affairs while an “automatic stay” is in place so that property and other assets are not lost to foreclosure or liquidation proceedings.  If you are having financial difficulties, please call for a consultation as to your specific situation. Thank you.. Cameron

Grace Lea Chang received a Martindale-Hubbell BV® rating from her fellow lawyers.  A BV® rating is bestowed upon a lawyer who has “an exemplary reputation and well-established practice … with a significant client base and high professional standing.”. Ms. Chang began her law practice after working 22 years in the healthcare field; managing a department of a Beckman Instruments and clinical laboratories.  But she desired more intellectually stimulating work and enrolled in law school at the suggestion of her late husband.. While attended law school at night, Grace worked fulltime, often 12-hour days.  Law school proved especially challenging, since English is her second language.  Juggling the raising of two kids and working fulltime, she never considered quitting.. Ms. Chang’s first legal work experience was in a small law firm environment.  This experience taught her the importance of direct client contact and was enjoyable, but she yearned for greater challenges.  She found positions with several large firms in Los Angeles that included four years at one of the largest firms in the United States.  During her large law firm tenure, she learned about maintaining the highest professional standards in her legal work.  Her large firm legal work focused on international corporate litigation..

For more than 28 years, attorney John Ciccarelli has served Los Angeles, Pasadena, and surrounding communities as a dedicated champion of the rights of personal injury clients who fall victim to powerful corporations and unscrupulous individuals.. As the grandson of an immigrant, John saw from an early age the ways in which people with power, money, and influence can trample on the rights of those less fortunate—and get away with it—even in a country as great as America.. As a result of these experiences and in deference to his innate sense of justice, John has become a tireless advocate for the “common man.” While John is known for achieving significant financial rewards for his clients, to him, it’s just as important that to hold rule-breakers fully accountable for the damage they cause. He believes this is his way of protecting his neighbors and making our community a safer place for us all.. He has earned a reputation as a tenacious attorney who frequently sees cases through jury trial rather than accept a settlement he believes is less than his client deserves.. John has always been a multitasker—he worked full-time through law school and still managed to graduate first in his class. Now, he juggles his thriving legal practice with hobbies like martial arts, flying, ballroom dance, and SCUBA diving. John is a devoted husband to his wife of 34 years and father to their three grown children.

For 44 years, I have had the privilege of representing good people accused of terrible crimes.  I view my client, not just as another case, but as an individual who "wants to be home for dinner;" a father, a mother, a son or daughter, a brother or sister.. My client has a problem and I have the tools to solve it.   The prosecution is always well-funded and powerful.  A defendant's only hope is that his or her lawyer is smart and tough enough to "level the playing field."   I am recognized among those who have worked with me, whether judge or prosecutor as a tough, intelligent criminal litigator.. I have tried federal cases all over the country, from New York to Washington, and all federal districts in California.  I have tried cases in state courts all over California and even in Minnesotta.   On many occasions, my work at trial has served to reverse convictions illegally obtained.. Of course, no good lawyer can guarantee a result, but I can guarantee that I will devote my time, energy, and superior knowledge to your case.

Family law cases are built on profound life changes. I handle divorces and child custody disputes to walk men and women through those transitions.. I approached my education in earnest and enjoyed my time at the University of Akron School of Law in Ohio.  I performed well academically, wrote for Law review, and graduated magna cum laude.  I learned law during those years, but I learned to lawyer while practicing at the Law Office of Palermo, Barbaro, Chinen and Pitzer, LLP, in Pasadena.  I joined that firm as an associate attorney the day I was sworn in as a member of the California State Bar in December 2007, and was privileged with the mentorship of its partners.  They showed me that the finest case results come from calculated trial preparations, persistence in negotiations, and integrity in all things.  The longer I practice, the more fortunate I feel for the benefit of their uncommon examples at the outset of my career.. In June 2013, I separated from PBCP with the goal of opening a classroom program for self-represented family law litigants.   While developing that curriculum, I’ve continued serving family law clients.  By 2015, my solo practice had grown into a small firm with a capable staff.. Our name was updated in July 2015 to “Marr & Associates.” Typical framing language didn’t sound right. “Law Offices of” and “Attorneys at Law” distinguish lawyers into a separate status.  We chose to designate our practice “Family Law Counsel” to connote parity between clients and advocates.  The trust and understanding that comes from working together as equals is what allows us to tell our clients’ stories persuasively.

Expert Child Sexual Abuse Lawyer. As a full-time child molestation lawyer, Anthony DeMarco has successfully helped more than 400 Southern California survivors of childhood sexual abuse recover financially.  Anthony knows how important it is to help sexual abuse survivors understand and cope with the effects of their abuse, to find the truth about their abusers, and to hold those who covered up for the abusers accountable.. Anthony was born and raised in the Greater Los Angeles area and has a close connection with the local communities and people of Southern California. He graduated from California State University at Los Angeles in 1992 and earned his Law Degree at Loyola Law School, in Los Angeles in 1996.  Anthony has been working as a lawyer with a special emphasis on sexual abuse civil law, now, for 20 years.. In representing sexual abuse survivors from Southern California communities, Anthony DeMarco has personally interviewed and counseled hundreds of child and adult survivors of clergy sexual abuse, as well as abuse by other authority figures such as teachers, coaches, and youth group counselors. His experience in the field of sexual abuse law affords him a unique understanding for how to navigate the difficulties of confronting churches regarding pedophile priests, archbishops, bishops, and other high-ranking officials who have harmed children.. While much of Anthony's work has involved Catholic clergy, he has also successfully filed and settled cases of child sexual abuse against the Los Angeles Unified School District, Alhambra Unified School District, American Youth Soccer Association (AYSO), the Seventh Day Adventists, the Lutheran Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and The International Four Square Church..

Your questions are important to us and we will always make time to facilitate your inquiry without any rush.  We want you to feel comfortable and we understand that this is a very difficult subject for you to talk about.  You are welcome to request to speak to our Victim's Advocate, Adrian Ramirez, who is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and litigation.  Adrian understands what it's like to take the steps that you're taking now.  We're only a phone call away.
