Jerod Gunsberg represents clients in all California state and federal criminal matters, from first time misdemeanors to violent offenses to complex white collar matters. He is also deeply involved in emerging areas of criminal law such as medical marijuana defense, financial elder abuse, computer crime, and juvenile delinquency law.

Mr. Gunsberg graduated from New York University where he was a University Honors Scholar. He received his law degree from Loyola Law School where he received First Honors in Trial Advocacy. After passing the California Bar Exam on the first attempt, Mr. Gunsberg was awarded a fellowship with Public Counsel where he advised staff attorneys about criminal justice issues.

Mr. Gunsberg also regularly handles misdemeanors, including DUI cases, and brings the same sense of purpose as he does to felony cases. âIâve seen the consequences of what happens when DUIs and other misdemeanor cases are not handled properly. Iâve seen people sit in jail and lose their jobs when they didnât need to, when there were other alternatives. I donât let that happen to my clients.â

I am a real estate and business law attorney. I limit my practice to these areas, which include things from setting up HOAs, to neighbor issues, to construction, and real estate fraud. My background is in real estate, where I was a real estate appraiser, property manager, and project manager for condominium conversions and other real estate developments. I understand the hurdles you face on a daily basis if you are a real estate owner, investor, contractor or developer.

A large segment of my client base are small business owners. I understand that you want simple answers to your questions; I help focus on figuring out how to get what you're interested in, explaining your options and deciding what will work best for you.

If you are seeking advice on whether to set up a corporation, LLC, limited partnership or something else, I can help you weigh the advantages of each to see which may be right for you. Preparation of buy/sell agreements, contracts, employment agreements and asset and stock sales, are crucial to your business transactions. If you'd like an attorney who will get back to you quickly with the information you need, you will feel comfortable working with me.
