As a former Senior Deputy District Attorney in Ventura County, I, attorney Adam L. Pearlman, have garnered extensive experience in jury trials and can aggressively represent my clients when they are facing criminal charges. In many serious criminal cases, choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions that you will ever make. Retaining a skilled Santa Barbara criminal defense attorney who is trial-tested and knows how the prosecution thinks can make all the difference to the outcome of your case. In many situations, it can be the difference between obtaining a successful verdict and being slapped with harsh, undeserving penalties. It is therefore not a decision to take lightly.
