After attending the University of California, Davis (King Hall) School of Law, Anjali A. interned at the SF Public Defender's Office before joining the Fresno County Public Defender's Office in August of 2016. She quickly established herself as a strong and fearless advocate for her clients, winning numerous misdemeanor and felony jury trials. She is also one of the few attorneys who specializes in Juvenile Defense. In just over six and a half years as a Defense Attorney, she has done adult misdemeanors, felonies, and juvenile cases.. In 2017, she was recognized as the "Juvenile Defense Attorney of the Year." In 2018, she was recognized as the "Trial Dog" of the Public Defender's Office for her numerous hangs and acquittals. With over 30 trials and 50 preliminary hearings, she is viewed amongst her peers as a fiery, aggressive negotiator who has resolved Serious/Violent Strikes for non-strike felonies and/or misdemeanors and probation rather than lengthy prison sentences for her many clients.. In December 2019, she left the Public Defender's Office. A firm believer in helping those who cannot afford a strong defense, she now exclusively does court-appointed indigent work for juveniles in Fresno County. She also opened her own private defense firm and has been retained throughout California. She has secured multiple acquittals for her juvenile clients at trial (adjudication), forced the District Attorney's Office to dismiss numerous cases, and convinced Judges not to try Minors as Adults (called "transfer motions").. She has presented on juvenile transfers for the Pacific Juvenile Defense Center (PJDC), the leading non-profit on juvenile defense, organized juvenile presentations, and in 2021 was appointed to the Advisory Board for the 2021-2022 year. She was PJDC's Juvenile Lawyer of the Year in 2022.

It is crucial that children and parents understand their rights, as well as the short and long term consequences of their decisions in court. Please come in for a free consultation before your child faces the judge.
