Santa Monica Criminal Law Attorney
Alec Rose
Certified Specialist in Criminal Law, State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization
As an experienced Santa Monica Criminal Law Attorney, I have been defending people accused of crimes in California since 1993. I have represented more than 2,000 clients, and have defended clients in dozens of jury trials, and thousands of other hearings, preliminary hearings, bench trials, suppression motions and administrative hearings.
I have represented clients in cases that have attracted local, national, and even world-wide media attention. My specializations include:
- Sex Crimes
- Property/Theft/Fraud/Embezzlement
- Violent Crimes
- Domestic Violence
- Other Felony Crimes
- Misdemeanors
- White Collar Crime
- Homicide
- Traffic Offenses
- Drug and Narcotics Crimes
- Drunk Driving/DUI
- Gun Violations
- Internet Crime
- Investigations
- Juvenile Law
- Expungement Motions
I give my personal attention to every client I represent. When I accept a client’s case, I offer my commitment that I will fight for the best possible outcome and protect my clients’ freedom.
As a skilled Santa Monica Criminal Law Attorney, I prefer to represent a small case load of clients and provide each of them with personal attention. I value the personal reputation of each of my clients, and have represented many licensed professionals accused of wrongdoing. Many of my clients are doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, police officers, firefighters, licensed professionals, business executives, and family members of such professionals.
I have successfully helped many such clients avoid convictions that would have cost them their careers. I believe that client representation starts with making sure each client understands his or her legal rights and how to exercise them. My goal is to carry out my clients’ wishes in court, whether through fighting the case at trial, through pretrial motions, or by negotiation. In 2002, I was recognized by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization as a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law, a distinction earned by only a few hundred attorneys in the state.
I have mentored and trained other attorneys to be successful criminal defense lawyers. I have appeared more than a dozen times as a guest commentator on Court TV. My work has been published in legal newspapers such as the Daily Journal. I have been quoted and/or pictured in hundreds of publications, Web sites, and other media outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Daily News, and nearly every major newspaper in the state.
I am an active member of the legal community and the criminal defense community. I serve on the board of directors of the Santa Monica Bar Association, and am also a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, Beverly Hills Bar Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
