California Legal Counsel - Los Angeles, CA

At California Legal Counsel, based in Los Angeles, California, we are committed to offering effective legal representation for individuals and families facing some of life’s most challenging situations. Founded by Sharen H. Ghatan, with more than two decades of experience, our firm is built on a commitment to strong advocacy, clear communication and personalized service tailored to each client’s unique circumstances.

We focus our practice on criminal defense and personal injury matters. In criminal defense cases, we represent clients charged with both felonies and misdemeanors, including cases involving the Three Strikes Law, assault, battery, domestic violence, drug crimes, theft offenses and weapons charges. We also handle white collar crimes, juvenile cases, underage drinking and restraining orders. From early investigation through trial and post-conviction proceedings, we work hard to protect our clients’ rights and pursue justice.

Alongside criminal defense, we advocate for injury victims who have been harmed due to negligence. Our personal injury practice includes auto, motorcycle, bicycle and truck accidents, pedestrian accidents, animal attacks, premises liability, slip-and-fall cases and catastrophic injuries. We also represent clients in sexual assault cases, wrongful death matters and rideshare-related accidents. Our goal is to help injured clients seek deserving compensation while handling a complicated legal process with confidence.

At California Legal Counsel, we are guided by the principles of integrity, preparation and client-centered representation. We take the time to listen, explain legal options clearly and develop thoughtful strategies aligned with our clients’ goals. We understand that legal matters can be overwhelming, and we strive to provide constant support, responsive service and strong advocacy every step of the way.
