I'm a criminal defense attorney with over three decades of experience in the criminal justice system.. I'm a former Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney. After leaving the office in 1987 I have been practicing criminal defense for over 30 years.. I have the legal expertise and knowhow but most importantly have developed and nurtured lasting and positive relationships with my colleagues in the criminal justice system. These skills and relationships have been critical to obtaining the very best results for my clients.. I've handled well over 10,000 criminal cases in my career; everything from traffic tickets to murder cases.. I'm politically active throughout Los Angeles County and have been a pivotal supporter for candidates for various Los Angeles County Criminal Justice offices including the District Attorney the Sheriff's Department, the City Attorney, and a host of Superior Court judges and Commissioners..

I started the Law Office of James Dolenga over 25 years ago representing clients with severe physical and mental limitations that kept them from being able to work.  Many had lost everything and had no where to turn.  By helping to get them on Social Security disability and MediCare, I afforded them a chance to regain some financial stability and to get necessary medical treatment to regain some control over their lives.  I soon realized that prior to their disability most of these clients had no plan to handle their affairs if they were hospitalized, unable to care for themselves or passed away.  When I decided to add estate planning services I quickly realized the prices that were being charged for a basic plan to simply provide direction in the event of incapacity and to distribute property to children at death kept many people from doing this critical planning.  I joined a national organiation that allowed me to provide the highest quality documents at a fair price.  If more detailed planning is needed, my office can provide that as well.. I started the Law Office of James Dolenga to protect clients and their families in their times of need and that is what I still do today.

I started out working as an intern in the San Francisco Office of the Public Defender for a year and a half, handling misdemeanors, while attending law school.  After graduating from law school I moved to Los Angeles and started clerking at a private criminal defense law firm.  Upon passing the California BAR I began practicing criminal defense.

I returned to California in 1997 where I continue to represent employers of all sizes in virtually every type of industry including: utilities, banking, retail, trucking, healthcare, professional services, hospitality, and law enforcement.  I serve as outside General Counsel to many of my clients where I assist with corporate governance, monitoring of litigation and risk management in addition to labor & employment matters.. I frequently speak on labor & employment developments for various organizations and I enjoy providing workplace training in areas such as: AB 1825 (Workplace Harassment); Effective Discipline; and, Employment Audits.

I stand up for employees in wage and hour, retaliation, discrimination and harassment claims.  Intelligence, compassion, and personal guidance are the cornerstone.  The fight for my clients takes me throughout the State of California and the United States, interrogating corporate representatives about their cover ups or unifying employees in class actions.  The result has been well millions in settlements on my cases combined.  See me and a few of my satisfied clients below.  NO RECOVERY, NO FEES.

I have been practicing family law in the South Bay for over 20 years and have a vast amount of experience in litigation, negotiations, counseling and mediation.  There are many approaches that can be pursued in family law cases and the manner in which a client and his/her lawyer decide to litigate the case is critical to the outcome.  I take the time to provide my clients with all of the information they need to make informed decisions in all aspects of their case, including setting goals and formulating a strategy to achieve the best results.
