Glen Jonas

Firm: Jonas & Driscoll LLP
1108 Sartori Avenue, Suite 320 , Torrance , California 90501
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense , Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense, Criminal Defense
My approach to criminal defense: I defend every client the way I would want to be defended if I found myself charged with crime. I fight with everything I have and put myself at risk if necessary to protect my client. Often times at trial...a judge will try and screw over the defendant with unfair rulings.  I don't stand for it. If a judge is acting with bias I call it out loud and clear. The only way our justice syste works  is when a defendant is given a fair trial with due process. When that happens the truth will find its way and the jury will reach the right decision.. I wake up early every morning and surf to start my day. It keeps me in shape and puts me in a good mood.  I am an avid outdoorsman. I love fishing and hunting.  I work hard and play hard and approach every day as though it might be my last.
