All five of these attorneys appear to be quite knowledgeable in the
criminal field, though Stokke and Meyer have been practicing the
longest. If you wanted someone with a high profile Robert M.
Bernstein would be your best guess. He is one of Los Angeles premier
criminal defense attorneys, having worked directly under Janet Reno
and regularly being a legal analyst on CNN.
I'd have to do some more research in terms of individual cases that
they've handled. In terms of rating them, however, it would depend on
which criteria you are holding most important. Was there a particular
type of criminal activity you wanted to focus on? |
