A little more about me.... Criminal law is my passion. It was my passion long before law school. I obviously picked the right career, right?  Even when I am not working, I still find myself watching true crime shows or reading true crime stories.  My favorite show of all time is "Forensic Files," and I have watched all 14 seasons... twice.  I also love "Death Row Stories."

Dedicated to defending you. Every one of my clients is my priority.

My name is Action A. Lavitch, (yes, that is my real name). I founded Action Defense Law, because I staunchly believe that the presumption of innocence is the most sacred principle of our criminal justice system. For that reason, and because of my passion for helping people, I’ve spent my career defending countless individuals charged with the full gamut of crimes, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.. As a native of Los Angeles, I attended college and law school locally, and spent the first part of my career working as a Trial Attorney with the Los Angeles Public Defenders Office. In recent years, I have dedicated my practice exclusively to providing criminal defense advocacy for the accused, helping them navigate through the complex criminal justice system. My seasoned trial skills stem from countless days spent in court, defending individuals charged with DUI, Drug Crimes, Theft, Weapons/Firearms, Gang Crimes, and Domestic Violence, among other criminal charges.. A major pillar of my success is rooted in the idea that no two cases are the same. My unyielding passion for justice drives me to design and execute creative defense strategies based on the unique circumstances of each case – there is no “one size fits all” approach. Likewise, my empathy, and compassion for those facing criminal charges is limitless. The attorney-client relationship is one that is based on trust and reliance and some of my greatest accomplishments have been the comradeships I have forged with my clients and fellow officers of the Courts in Los Angeles.

I have been practicing for over 40 years primarily in cirminal law and have done 100's of jury trials and over a thousand non-jury trials including serious felonies (murder, etc.), , habeas, expungements, etc. and practice mainly in the San Fernando and Antelope Valley courts. I also do any other area of law that you need.
