Firm: Action Defense Law, A Professional Law Corporation

15720 Ventura Blvd. Suite 503 , Encino , California 91436

Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

My name is Action A. Lavitch, (yes, that is my real name). I founded Action Defense Law, because I staunchly believe that the presumption of innocence is the most sacred principle of our criminal justice system. For that reason, and because of my passion for helping people, I’ve spent my career defending countless individuals charged with the full gamut of crimes, ranging from misdemeanors to felonies.. As a native of Los Angeles, I attended college and law school locally, and spent the first part of my career working as a Trial Attorney with the Los Angeles Public Defenders Office. In recent years, I have dedicated my practice exclusively to providing criminal defense advocacy for the accused, helping them navigate through the complex criminal justice system. My seasoned trial skills stem from countless days spent in court, defending individuals charged with DUI, Drug Crimes, Theft, Weapons/Firearms, Gang Crimes, and Domestic Violence, among other criminal charges.. A major pillar of my success is rooted in the idea that no two cases are the same. My unyielding passion for justice drives me to design and execute creative defense strategies based on the unique circumstances of each case – there is no “one size fits all” approach. Likewise, my empathy, and compassion for those facing criminal charges is limitless. The attorney-client relationship is one that is based on trust and reliance and some of my greatest accomplishments have been the comradeships I have forged with my clients and fellow officers of the Courts in Los Angeles.

As a native Californian, I grew up skate-boarding and surfing with my brothers.  At  about the same time I stood up on a surf board, I decided I wanted to be a criminal lawyer when I grew up.  I was an avid Perry Mason fan and knew that defense work was my calling.. When I grew up and out of skateboards, I continued my love of action through marathon running, skiing and hiking.  I recently trekked Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.  When I'm not sweating outdoors, I make the prosecution sweat in the court room.. I studied political science and pre-law courses when an undergraduate at UCLA and joined Delta Gamma sorority.  I thereafter attended and graduated from Loyola Law School.  While at Loyola, I clerked for the California Attorney General's Office in the Criminal Appeals Section.  There, I worked closely with the Attorney General and staff, writing appeals.  Since law school graduation, I have been defending Californians' rights when facing criminal accusations and/or charges..

June marked the beginning of my 50th year as a criminal defense attorney.  It seems like only yesterday that I started my career as a deputy probation officer and was going to law school at the same time.  As I look through all my many memories and experiences one feeling surpases all others--I have always loved what I do and I still do.  Helping people in trouble has always given me great satisfaction, and I think it shows in the results I have been able to achieve.  I'm especially proud of my certification as a Criminal Law Specialist by the California State Bar and having been twice selected by Los Angeles Magazine as a "Super Lawyer".
