Firm Information
Overview
Experience matters when a case is headed toward a courtroom. At the Law Offices of Justin E. Sterling in Pasadena, California, we bring more than two decades of criminal trial experience to the defense of individuals facing serious charges. Our firm is led by founding attorney Justin E. Sterling, whose career includes more than 100 jury trials tried to verdict in courts throughout California.
We represent clients in a wide variety of matters, including violent crimes, sex crimes, weapons charges, drug offenses, domestic violence allegations, assault and battery charges, and white collar crimes. Civil rights is another important part of our practice. In every case, we examine the available information closely and build our approach around the legal and factual issues that matter most.
Our philosophy is straightforward: preparation should begin early, communication should remain clear and clients should have access to counsel when they need it. That is why we offer 24/7 access to legal counsel. When circumstances change suddenly, clients can reach out for guidance rather than being left to navigate an unfamiliar process on their own.
Over the years, our work has produced notable results. We obtained a not-guilty verdict for a client facing three counts of attempted murder. In another matter, felony firearm and drug charges were dismissed. We also secured a $5.7 million result against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Results vary according to the facts of each case and are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
We understand that people seeking criminal defense are often dealing with more than a legal accusation. Their families, careers, finances and futures may also be affected. We take those concerns seriously while concentrating on the legal issues at hand.
At the Law Offices of Justin E. Sterling, we provide determined representation to clients who need an experienced advocate. We are prepared to challenge allegations, protect constitutional rights and pursue the best possible resolution under the circumstances.
