First of all, although his name is "Mark Daniel", Mr. Melnick is known to his friends as simply "Dan" (it's a long story).Dan Melnick was born in Santa Monica, California and he grew up in the San Fernando Valley. After high school he got a job working for United Artists as a production assistant and spent nearly a year in Yugoslavia making (and appearing in) the movie Fiddler on the Roof. Upon his return to the U.S. Dan attended UCLA and graduated in 1975. Following his graduation from UCLA he went to work helping a family friend finish building a 60 foot cement sail boat and helped him sail it to Hawaii during the summer of 1975. With 2500 miles and 3 months of sailing behind him Dan returned and  attended Law School at the University of San Fernando Valley School of law, graduating in 1978. During his years in college and law school he worked and supported himself as a night crew and deli clerk at Ralphs Grocery store in Sherman Oaks. Notably, Dan is still friends with many of his old coworkers from his days of stocking shelves.Shortly after passing the Bar exam Mr. Melnick went to work in Chicago as a management labor law and labor relations consultant for the premiere consulting firm in the country. In 1983 he again returned to the Los Angeles area to practice labor law, but that didn't last long. Early in his practice Mr. Melnick was referred a criminal case for trial. He tried the case and realized that criminal defense was his calling. It was in criminal defense that he felt he was able to truly provide a service that helped people on a personal level. Instead of reading contracts and arguing with management and unions he was able to work in a court room directly with his clients and juries. Most importantly, instead of helping big companies he was now able to protect "the little Guy" from the often oppressive government prosecutors. Since that first case, Dan Melnick has handled thousands of criminal cases of virtually every type, large and small, and to this day he continues to fight for the individual.In his spare time Dan is an avid ice hockey player and he has played all over the world including Austria, Australia, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Fifteen years ago one of the local leagues was named in his honor when the name was changed to the "Melnick Division". He is also a licensed Scuba Instructor and a commercially licensed sea captain with a fifty ton masters license. In 2002, Dan sold his law practice and left for an extended cruise on his sailboat. After sailing the waters of Mexico and Central America all the way to Costa Rica (4000 miles) in all kinds of  weather, Dan returned to Los Angeles in 2006 and returned to the practice of law.  Because of his background, Dan can relate to people from all walks of life., He is a guy who is comfortable in a tuxedo or shorts and a t-shirt. He can (and has) fit in at the best Beverly Hills bistro or the corner bar in Van Nuys.  All of his experience and success, legal and otherwise, gives Dan Melnick the knowledge,  patience,  understanding and strength to deal with the stess and concerns of his clients and the ability to sucessfully fight the stringent demands of the legal system.

I represent people. From 2006 until 2020, the only type of cases I have taken are criminal defense cases, and most of those DUI defense cases. (As of 2020 I have expanded my practice areas to include Juvenile Dependency as well as criminal/DUI defense cases.). I have extensive experience handling DUI/Driving Under the Influence/Driving with a BAC of 0.08% or Above, and many other types of criminal cases. For the first several years that I was licensed as an attorney I worked as a Deputy Public Defender, handling a great number of cases and learning a lot as I practiced.. I opened my own law practice in 2009, to put my knowledge and skills and talent to work for you, the people who hire me.. I have actual trial experience, trying DUI cases and other criminal cases and traffic offenses.  There are a lot of attorneys in California who want to represent you on your criminal or DUI case, but some of those attorneys have never even tried a single case. Some have only tried cases in their former careers as prosecutors, and might not even be used to trying to find flaws in the prosecution's case. As a criminal defense lawyer who has spent my whole career representing people (not the prosecution) I have experience and skills that I will put to work for you. If you might consider taking your case all the way to trial, ask potential lawyers what their "stats" are. Some attorneys might tell you they don't keep track, but my guess is, if they had a track record they were proud of, they might be more likely to.. If you're facing criminal charges there's a strong chance you might be feeling scared and confused -- I can help you. I have the experience, knowledge, and desire to fight for you. I'll provide you with an aggressive defense, communicate with you to make sure you understand what's happening on your case, and I'll work hard to minimize the disruption on your life.

At the Pitman Law Firm, we are here to make sure you will be heard. Whether you are charged with a DUI, domestic violence, possession, or any other criminal charge we will fight tirelessly to make sure your side of the story is told to the court and you are treated fairly.. The current legal system is broken. The idea that someone is innocent until proven guilty was one of the crucial ideas of the Magna Carta. It continued through English common law in early colonial America and although not directly stated in the Consitution, the Supreme Court has stated that it implies this right. However, the District Attorney, City Attorney, and Los Angeles courts seem to have forgotten this. They assume your guilt based on the police officer's statements and investigation alone without ever considering you. As with everything, there are two sides to the story and to make such a decision without even hearing the other side is wrong.. Mr. Pitman worked with the District Attorney's Office for three years while in law school. This afforded him the opportunity to see how DAs worked and thought. It showed him what they look for and what they ignore. It also showed him the holes in their analysis and thought. Armed with that information he entered the law field and began working under some of the best criminal defense attorneys in Los Angeles. From them, he learned how to attack a prosecutor's case and get the best possible outcome for his clients.. He has represented clients in numerous cases where he has gotten charges either dropped or reduced and he has gotten people released from prison. He wants to continue this work and give a voice to those that the system continues to ignore.. So, if you are in Los Angeles, Encino, Hollywood, Sherman Oaks, Inglewood, Santa Clarita, Lancaster, Ventura or any of the surrounding areas reach out to us so we can help you.
