A criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles, Jerod Gunsberg represents clients in all California state and federal criminal matters, from first time misdemeanors, to prostitution charges; violent offenses to complex white collar matters. He is also deeply involved in emerging areas of criminal law such as medical marijuana defense, elder abuse, computer crime, and health care fraud.

Mr. Gunsberg graduated from New York University where he was a University Honors Scholar.  He received his law degree from Loyola Law School where he received First Honors in Trial Advocacy.  After passing the California Bar Exam on the first attempt, Mr. Gunsberg was awarded a fellowship with Public Counsel where he advised staff attorneys about criminal justice issues.  Mr. Gunsberg was then recruited by some of Los Angeles County’s top criminal defense trial lawyers to represent clients on serious felony matters including murders, sex offenses, major narcotics cases, and complex fraud cases at both the state and federal level.

Mr. Gunsberg also regularly handles misdemeanors, including DUI cases, and brings the same sense of purpose as he does to felony cases. “I’ve seen the consequences of what happens when misdemeanor cases are not handled properly.  I’ve seen people sit in jail and lose their jobs when they didn’t need to, when there were other alternatives.  I don’t let that happen to my clients.”
