Firm: Law Office of Denise Yaniv

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!

I have practiced law in Orange County for over 40 years and have tried over 100 cases. I started my career as an Orange County Deputy District Attorney where I routinely practiced as a prosecutor before the trial and appellate courts. I focused my practice on the legality of police conduct in major narcotics investigations. I argued the case of People v. Bravo (1987) 43 600 before the California Supreme Court representing the statewide association of prosecutors. The Bravo case established a new standard for the search of repeat narcotics offenders.. Once in private practice, I began to develop a specialty representing licensed health care providers in criminal cases involving medical billing fraud, narcotics and sexual assault on patients. I have handled these cases across the country and have lectured nationally in front of statewide medical associations. I am particularily expert at professional licensure defense and the defense of Medicare and Medicaid audits.. I am AV rated by Martindale-Hubbell.
