Arash Hashemi’s first career goal was to play basketball in the NBA. One day, when he was 14, a family friend commented that Arash would be a good lawyer and should pursue law. Something clicked in Arash’s head and from that day on, he was determined to become a lawyer. In December 2002, Arash was officially sworn in as an active member of The State Bar of California. The very next day, he was in court, taking part in a bench trial, and by March 1, 2003, he established the Law Offices of Arash Hashemi.. Since then, Arash has handled a wide variety of criminal cases—from petty theft to complex felonies, including murder—with a particular focus on self-defense cases. He has represented thousands of Californians accused of violating probation or parole, and has argued before the California Court of Appeals. Arash is admitted to practice before all California State Courts and the United States District Court for the Northern, Eastern, Central, and Southern Districts of California.. In addition to his legal practice, Arash is the host of the podcast “Hashing Out the Law,” where he explores various legal topics and issues. He also serves as the president of the Criminal Courts Bar Association for 2024 and regularly volunteers at the Mesereau Free Legal Clinic in South Los Angeles.

Bailey K.F. Means began concentrating on criminal defense practice during her 1L year at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. Her law school career was dedicated to becoming an effective public defender. During her three years at Loyola, she interned at two public defender’s offices, and the ACLU, in addition to working as a research assistant for three criminal-focused professors.. Since graduating from Loyola, she worked as a Deputy Public Defender in Ventura County for 3 years. In the 3 years she was there, Bailey took more cases to trial than any other criminal defense attorney in the county. During that time, Bailey was in court for 4-5 hours a day; giving her the confidence and knowledge to effectively represent clients inside and out of the courtroom. Though she’s an aggressive and experienced litigator, Bailey knows that every case is unique; the best option for each client differs, and depends on their unique situation.. Bailey has handled over one thousand criminal cases ranging from code violation infractions to felony gang cases. In her practice, she is a firm believer in motion practice. She has litigated hundreds of criminal motions, and is especially passionate about fourth amendment jurisprudence and motions to suppress. Recently, two of Bailey’s motions to suppress that were initially denied have been overturned on appeal, when the District Attorney conceded that the judge had erred.. In 2016, the Ventura County Criminal Defense Bar Association awarded Bailey for her Outstanding Performance by a New Attorney.. After leaving the Public Defender’s Office, Bailey accepted a job as a State Bar prosecutor, working in the Los Angeles office. Though recognizing the State Bar’s work in protecting the public is important, Bailey’s true passion has always been criminal defense practice.. Bailey holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of California, Irvine; in Political Science, and Criminology, Law & Society. UCI’s nationally renowned criminology program “focuses on the problem of crime and on understanding the social, cultural, political, and economic forces that interact with the law.” Bailey’s background in criminology contributes heavily to her firm belief in the client-centered approach, and holistic practice goals.. In her free time, Bailey enjoys spending time with her two rescue pit bulls and her husband. She also enjoys running, NFL football, craft beer, and all things historic Los Angeles.
