After graduating law school in 2013, George joined The Kristy Law Firm, learning from an experienced civil litigator who fearlessly took on the most difficult cases against well-funded defendants. George then joined the Los Angeles Public Defender’s Office as a Deputy Public Defender. During a year practicing in the Long Beach courthouse, he tried 8 jury trials against the City Prosecutor, winning all of them. George transferred to the Los Angeles County Alternate Public Defender’s Office, which excels in representation in the most complex and serious cases in the county. George has tried approximately 30 jury trials. At time of writing, George defends felony cases in downtown Los Angeles.
- We will make our community safer by addressing the root causes of crime.
- We will build an office that can ethically and effectively prosecute crimes in Long Beach.
- We can stop the racial and class inequalities that are perpetuated by the criminal justice system, without sacrificing public safety.
2. Implementing an evidence-based approach to prosecution and settling cases. We need a criminal justice system that is rational, and we are flying blind in Long Beach at the moment. I would begin tracking cases to see what efforts are most effective at enhancing public safety.
3. Clearing the records of people who were the victim of discriminatory prosecutions by this office, and making sure we don't do it again.
