Brian McDonnell
The McDonnell Law Firm
After graduating from the University of San Diego, obtaining my bachelors degree in International Relations and Political Science, I set my sights on law school. I graduated with academic honors from Western State College of Law and was the Witkin Award recipient In Evidence.
I exclusively practice criminal defense and have been with the McDonnell law firm for over 15 years. Our firm has been in existence for over 5 decades. Whether your case is being prosecuted in a state or federal court, we are adept at handling both.
I am currently handling federal cases in 9 different states. Although our office is located in Orange County, we are often handling matters in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego counties. We handle all types of crimes which include drug crimes, DUI, assaults, thefts, robbery, white collar crime, id theft/fraud, burglary, hit and run, weapons charges, elder abuse and the list goes on.
If you have been arrested and are in need of legal help, please feel free to contact us for a free consultation.
