Douglas Horngrad

The Law Offices of Douglas Horngrad and Sam O’Keefe have been a preeminent criminal defense firm since 1989, trying cases in the nine Bay Area counties and beyond. Mr. Horngrad is renowned as one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the San Francisco Bay Area, widely respected among judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys thanks to his forty four years of experience in state and federal court. Mr. Horngrad is on the cutting edge of criminal law, utilizing novel legal theory and thorough investigation, and is known for his responsiveness, discretion, around-the-clock availability, and total devotion to clients.

Mr. Horngrad began his career at the Marin County Public Defender's Office in 1979 and worked there for nine years, ultimately as acting Chief Deputy Public Defender. The knowledge and connections gained in the Marin criminal court led Mr. Horngrad to start his own law firm in 1989. Mr. Horngrad has represented appointed and elected officials, business leaders, political activists, Oscar nominees and winners, and clients from all walks of life. In his words, "We do traffic tickets to murder, and everything in between." His firm handles felonies and misdemeanors in state and federal court, including DMV hearings, trials, and appeals. Mr. Horngrad has been called the lawyer’s lawyer, and our firm routinely takes over cases referred to us by attorneys whose clients need the greater resources we can provide. Mr. Horngrad particularly enjoys the opportunity to work with clients who are encountering the criminal justice system for the first time, whether themselves or through their children.
