If you are a member of the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender community and have been charged with a crime in California, the GLBT friendly attorneys at the Kavinoky Law Firm are here to help. With offices located throughout the state, we are dedicated to protecting your rights with the utmost integrity, skill and compassion.

Our unparalleled criminal defense lawyers who represent the Kavinoky Law Firm understand that gay and lesbian individuals who have been charged with a crime face a variety of issues that their “straight” counterparts don’t. Our attorneys acknowledge that our society, including our law enforcement officers, court personnel and jurors, is plagued by homophobic ignorance and/or apathy towards the LGBT community and will do whatever it takes to ensure that our clients are treated fairly and respectfully.

While our attorneys are well equipped to successfully defend against any crime, we specialize in crimes of same sex domestic violence (also commonly called D.V., domestic abuse, intimate partner abuse, intimate partner violence or I.P.V.), GLBT sex crimes, driving under the influence (also commonly referred to as D.U.I. or “drunk driving”) cases and drug cases, including cases involving possession, use and/or distribution.

Although our attorneys at the Kavinoky Law Firm have successfully defended countless individuals accused of criminal charges, we know that the only case that matters to you is your own. We care about what’s happening in your life and are committed to exceeding your expectations by providing the most comprehensive defense available, which includes giving you the respect and personal attention that you deserve.

Many lawyers don’t understand the sensitive issues that homosexuals experience on a daily basis and certainly don’t realize that gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people are often treated differently under the law. Our lawyers always keep these issues in mind when advocating on your behalf. We will vigorously fight for your rights and will take your legal issues seriously. We pride ourselves on our level of professionalism, courtesy and experience with the LGBT community and provide the same exceptional representation to all of our clients, regardless of their sexual orientation.

The Kavinoky Law firm is proud to announce that its founder, criminal defense attorney Darren T. Kavinoky enjoys a coveted “AV®” rating in the Martindale Hubbell Registry, a peer review honor that rewards attorneys who exemplify skill and integrity. He has also been featured in NEWSWEEK and was named a Super Lawyer Rising Star in the July 2006 issue and the September 2005 issue of Los Angeles Magazine. His high expectations for excellence are reflected in every attorney that he hires and are easily recognized by our clients.

The consequences facing anyone charged with a crime are severe. They become even more so for a GLBT individual who has legal representation that has inadequate levels of training and experience to work with this community. The Kavinoky Law Firm welcomes all clients. Our reputation for excellence is only surpassed by the compassion and respect that we show our clients.
