— Client, House of Defense LawAs a boutique firm, we keep our caseload selective. Every client works directly with their lawyer — calls are returned, questions are answered, and you are never left in the dark about where your case stands.

For clients facing serious charges, we take into account the full picture — character, circumstances, and a genuine commitment to moving forward.
A few words from the people we've had the privilege of representing.
"You have no idea the amount of security you brought. I don't usually have people fighting for me. You were an amazing lawyer. It was one of the worst experiences of my life. And having someone in your corner when you're going through that? You don't forget it. That's for sure."
"I am beyond grateful for everything Jasmine has done for me. She was able to get my case completely dismissed, even when the District Attorney was making it nearly impossible. She fought hard and never stopped pushing for the best possible outcome. She truly cares about her clients, and it shows in every detail. I highly recommend Jasmine."
"When Ms. Haghani took over my case, I was literally in a mental state of exhaustion. I was scared, confused, and almost hopeless. She came in and immediately reestablished my confidence. She identified errors and issues that should have been caught from the very beginning, and she came with strategic moves that weakened the prosecution's case significantly. After just three court dates, the big dark corner I was backed into — the helping hand of Jasmine Haghani came pulling me out. I cannot express enough gratitude for my case being dismissed. Thank you Jasmine. I'm glad I picked you. Sincerely."
"I'm out on a beautiful hike right now, completely in love with my life and my freedom, and I wanted to take a moment to thank you. You helped me get set free, and I'll always be grateful for that. I'm glad you still got the W with me — especially with such an ugly case like mine. Keep up the amazing work and continue giving it your all. God bless you."
"After my accident I didn't know where to turn. Jasmine and her team handled everything and made sure I was taken care of every step of the way. They fought hard and got me every dollar that was available. I couldn't have asked for better representation."
"I slipped and fell and had no idea I even had a case. Jasmine walked me through everything, kept me informed the whole time, and got me a settlement I never expected. She truly went above and beyond. I'm so grateful I called."

House of Defense Law handles a broad range of criminal defense, personal injury, and civil matters. Every case receives the same level of preparation and commitment.
The most powerful moment to act is before charges are ever filed. When law enforcement is investigating or a client believes charges may be coming, early intervention by an experienced defense attorney can change the trajectory of a case entirely — or prevent charges from being filed at all. We engage with prosecutors, challenge the investigation, and protect our clients from the start.
The highest-stakes cases in the criminal system. We defend felony charges with the thoroughness and preparation they demand — investigating independently, challenging the prosecution's evidence, and preparing fully for trial. Full dismissals have been obtained in cases carrying eight or more years of state prison exposure.
A misdemeanor conviction can affect employment, housing, professional licenses, and more. We treat every misdemeanor charge with the same level of preparation and commitment as a felony — pursuing reductions, dismissals, and every available defense.
We examine every element from the legality of the stop to the reliability of the testing, and pursue all available options including charge reductions and dismissal.
ADW, battery, and related charges require a defense that matches their severity. We have secured full dismissals in matters where clients faced substantial state prison time.
We investigate each matter independently, evaluate the credibility of the allegations, and present a defense built on the actual facts. Full dismissals have been obtained in aggressively prosecuted matters.
We handle these matters with complete discretion. Results have included charge reductions with no sex offender registration requirement — an outcome rarely achieved.
A restraining order can restrict where a person lives, works, and travels. We represent clients in contesting civil harassment and domestic violence restraining orders, with multiple simultaneous orders dismissed for one client.
A conviction doesn't have to define your future. Many misdemeanor and felony convictions qualify for expungement under California law — clearing your record and opening doors that were previously closed.
When a young person faces criminal charges, the consequences can shape their entire future. We defend juvenile clients with the care, discretion, and strategic focus their situation demands — working to protect their record and their opportunities.
We defend individuals and businesses in civil matters from pre-litigation through trial. Skilled in mediation and prepared to litigate when resolution on reasonable terms is not achievable.
When an injury results from someone else's negligence, your recovery comes first. We work with trusted doctors to make sure you get the care you need from day one — and we fight to ensure you are fully compensated for every way this has impacted your life. We handle auto accidents, slip and fall, dog bites, and wrongful death. Medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering — nothing is left on the table.
