About:
I am an attorney licensed to practice before all Federal and State Courts in California, Texas Federal District Court, and the United States Supreme Court. I serve as an adjunct professor of law at the University of West Los Angeles, where I teach Criminal Law & Practice, Introduction to Legal Studies, and Contracts. My background as a criminal defense attorney includes handling numerous high-profile cases and successfully defending individuals wrongly accused of crimes ranging from minor offenses like shoplifting to major charges such as attempted murder and homicide. Before pursuing law, I served as an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. My experience as a former LAPD (R) officer provides me with a unique and detailed perspective on criminal laws and the ethical standards applicable to everyday cases. My enthusiasm for law extends beyond criminal defense. I am also a passionate civil litigator with significant experience in mediation, having graduated from the Pepperdine Straus Institute of Dispute Resolution. This training enhances my ability to represent clients effectively across all areas of law, including trials. I have litigated hundreds of civil cases throughout California. As a lawyer, my strengths include presenting, persuading, and communicating effectively. I possess a deep understanding of criminal law, which I complement with a quick wit and personal anecdotes to keep my lectures engaging, humorous, and authentic, whether in a courtroom or a classroom setting. I take a personal approach to each case, meeting with every client, managing their files directly, and making personal court appearances. Throughout my career, I have received numerous accolades and honors. However, I find the greatest reward in receiving messages of gratitude from satisfied clients and their families. I have also appeared as a guest on various media outlets including CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Al Jazeera, and several radio stations.

"I want to sincerely thank you Michael P Kade for the time, care, and attention you’ve given me. Even though we haven’t met in person yet, I already feel a deep sense of trust and appreciation for the way you’ve handled everything. You’ve been incredibly helpful, always available to answer my questions and explain things clearly and patiently over the phone. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine care for people truly stand out. It’s rare to come across someone in any profession—especially law—who makes you feel heard, supported, and reassured from the very first interaction. I’m grateful for your guidance and for the sense of comfort you bring just by being available and willing to help. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for not only a knowledgeable lawyer, but a good human being as well. Thank you Thank you"

"We could not have asked for better representation, on behalf of my mother, than Michael Kade. From day one he was kind, informed, totally present for us and offered full transparency on all the steps that were to be taken in her case - and what we needed to do to properly prepare. My mother's English is a bit limited, and so it was of extreme value to us that he also speaks Farsi - So she was able to completely understand everything that was happening. We felt 100% taken care of and in the best hands. He is highly recommended!"

"Michael is a very fair person, kind and friendly and knowledgeable. He cares about his clients. I had a case which no attorney was able to handle it because it was so complicated. Michael, not only accepted my case but he guided me thru all my aspects. His price for his service is so reasonable. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. God bless him."

He is the one you want in your corner to ensure everything is handled beautifully and he put his clients at ease while he does it. Can’t ask for a better lawyer."
