Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
Author of over 1,750 published articles about DUI, domestic violence, theft, drug offenses, sex offenses and other areas of criminal defense, including resentencing, Greg Hill defends those accused of such crimes in the Torrance and Long Beach areas, as well as other areas.  Greg grew up in the Torrance and Long Beach area, before leaving for college in Annapolis, Maryland.  After graduating from college (the U.S. Naval Academy), Greg went throughThe Basic School (TBS) in Quantico, Virginia, and then through flight school in Pensacola, Florida for about two years.  After earning his wings, he spent about a year in Whidbey Island, Washington, learning to fly the EA-6B Prowler and learning about electronic warfare.  Upon finishing the training in Washington, he went straight to the Persian Gulf for Operation Desert Shield and then, Operation Desert Storm in 1990/1991.  After this deployment and combat, he spent another six years in the Marine Corps, deploying to Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Cuba and various places across the U.S.  While in the Marines, he earned an MBA from Boston University.. Once he left the Marine Corps, as a Captain, he entered law school at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.  Three years later, he graduated and took the Bar Exam, passing it on his first try despite having monocleosis.. Since passing the Bar in 1998, he has taken many cases to jury trial and bench trial, although most have resolved short of trial. He has been lucky enough to learn from some great lawyers and thereby develop my skills. He learns omething new every single day in practicing law.  Often it is just a better way to argue a point.  Other times, it is a case that says exactly what he needs for a client with a similar problem.  He thoroughly enjoys helping people resolve problems, whether it be a civil or criminal matter.. Outside of his practice, he has three children and a family to support.  His son graduated from the University of Michigan (Ross School of Business) and his two daughters are finishing up college now - one is a senior at Syracuse (Newhouse School of Communications) and one is a junior at SMU in Dallas.  Greg's wife is a law school graduate as well.

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.

Lynda Westlund

Firm: Law Offices of Lynda J. Westlund
3655 Torrance Blvd Ste 300 , Torrance , California 90503
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
I began my career in criminal defense by being my Criminal Procedure professor's teaching assistant in law school.  After graduating in 1997, I worked at an appellate firm in San Francisco while awaiting Bar results.  At this firm, I worked on several appeals of clients facing the death penalty, and worked on the appeal for one of the Mendendez brothers.  It was here I learned all about the appellate process, and loved it.. After passing the Bar (1st time), I went to the San Francisco Public Defender's Office as a certified/licensed intern, and started handling cases of my own.  Before long I went to Humboldt County to work as a Deputy Public Defender, where I handled all manner of misdemeanors and felonies, in addition to juvenile and dependency  cases.  I then transferred to the Los Angeles County Public Defender's Office, where I had a near-100% acquittal rate.  I loved this position, and thoroughly learned the process and procedure in Los Angeles County Courts (as an aside, I would advise hiring a lawyer who has been either a District Attorney or a Public Defender, without question.  Lawyers who go straight into private practice, in my experience, do not sufficiently know "the ropes," if you will).. I went into private practice after a number of years, and worked for the firm of Trutanich-Michel, where I specialized in firearm-related matters in both state and federal court.  I also wrote several writs and appeals, and was a panel member for an MCLE educational seminar.  My section was "Firearms: possession, use and the law.". Since then, I have ran my own law firm, and handled all manner of cases in Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Barbara, San Bernadino and Riverside counties.  I take cases to trial more than any other private lawyer I know.  This is because I charge very reasonable and fair rates and, most importantly, begin preparing a case a case for trial right from the outset.  It is by preparing a case for trial that you are able to get the most beneficial plea agreements for your client, as you are then able to systematically point out the weaknesses in the case to the prosecutor or, as often happens, get positive results by trying the case before a jury.. I handle all manner of criminal cases, everything from a DUI and DMV proceedings to Murder.  I also have had the opportunity to take many family law matters in recent years, and am proficient in that area as well.  I give free consultations to all clients, so give us a call whenever you or a loved one need assistance.  We are here to help!
