About:

Pat is a former Prosecutor for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and part of the less than 1% of lawyers in California that are State Bar Board Certified Criminal Law Specialists. He has tried over 65 jury trials for cases ranging from driving under the influence misdemeanors, to gang crimes, to special circumstance murder cases. His most recent Special Circumstance Murder case out of Long Beach Court House resulted in a NOT GUILTY verdict and the client being acquitted of all charges and released from prison. In his tenure as a Deputy District Attorney, Pat conducted over 1,600 preliminary hearings, and spent an entire year dedicated to a juvenile division where he handled over 75 juvenile adjudication trials. In addition to his jury trial experience, Pat has handled thousands of drug possession and sales cases, sex crimes, domestic violence, robberies, burglaries, fraud, theft and embezzlement cases.

"Having consulted with several other criminal defense attorneys I knew after speaking to Patrick Carey that he was the right attorney to have on my side in the courtroom. Patrick was nothing but courteous, knowledgeable, and professional throughout my whole case from start to finish. He took time to explain every step of the process ensuring I was informed and supported. His expertise and knowledge resulted in a favorable outcome for myself and also helped expunge my charges. I am truely grateful for his services. I would not hesitate to recommend Patrick Carey to anyone facing similar challenges in their life."
