Alison Saros is an experienced, fierce, and successful Criminal Defense Lawyer with 25 years of legal experience. 

As a Deputy District Attorney in Los Angeles County for over 16 years, she tried dozens of cases to verdict, handled hundreds of preliminary hearings, and evaluated thousands of cases for filing determination. As a law professor, she taught constitutional criminal procedure to law students from a practical perspective. She knows how to protect you because she knows the law and the exact strategies the opposition will use to prosecute you. 

Saros Law APC’s proven success record for all criminal defense cases shows that the firm is relentless in representing clients in DUI, Theft, Drug Crimes, Domestic Violence, Sex Crimes, Juvenile Crimes, Assault, Vandalism, Alcohol & Mental Health-Related Crimes, and Education Law and School Discipline matters.

We Understand How These Systems Work

You, as an accused, as a teenager or as a parent of a child in need, are a stranger in a strange land. You don’t know the language, the procedures, the knowledge, or virtually anything, yet you must operate as if you were an expert, as your liberty or your child’s future may hang in the balance depending on how well you navigate through this system.

Our attorneys provide aggressive criminal defense representation in California. We also can work as a student advocate, helping you navigate through the school bureaucracies to obtain the support your child needs.

Call our office at 310-341-3466 for assistance throughout the Los Angeles area. For assistance with educational law issues, please fill out our contact form for new clients.

SAROS LAW APC TESTIMONIALS

Alison Saros is like a second mom to me. She put in countless hours and helped me physically and mentally deal with the hardest legal, financial situation in my entire life. I was dealing with a fabricated situation at my university, and her educational law experiences have helped me understand and endure the living-hell situation I was going through. Regardless of my lack of financial situation, that did not stop her from putting in countless hours of her effort towards me. Not only is she a phenomenal attorney, she’s an overall great person. She’s smart, caring, and loving, which is the type of support I needed. Thank you Alison for everything!
Like a Second Mom-- Peter
I have consulted with Alison regarding my school matters, she’s very honest and straightforward which saved me tons of time and money, very patient and helpful, giving her best advice. Very knowledgeable too on the education field of California. Greatly appreciate it! Recommend!
Compassionate and resoponsible-- Jiawei
I had hired her as a criminal defense attorney and I could not have asked for a better attorney to represent my case. She handled my case with professionalism and charisma that led to getting me the best deal we had hoped for my case. She is extremely knowledgable, professional, charismatic, and very personable. Going to court for a crime is nerve-racking as it is but the way she approached and handled my case made me feel reassured. She will fight for what is right and I highly recommend her for any legal issues you might have.
Best of the BEST-- Anonymous
We retained Ali for help with both our daughters. She was invaluable in helping our older daughter get into a college that best met her academic and emotional support needs. And again with our younger daughter who had major anxiety issues that could have crushed her, but is now thriving given the interventions that Ali worked out with the school system. Ali has attended 504 plan meetings with us, and helped with some last-minute teacher changes that were not a fit. Ali has that unique combination: a lawyer who understands student and disability rights, and a counselor who understands the emotional/psychological aspects and can have empathy for all (including the school system and the challenges they face). She definitely knows how to work with school systems so kids get what they need to succeed – in a fair and respected way.
Invaluable go-to resource for working with school system-- Diana Burge
I found myself in an unfortunate dilemma regarding a family law issue/hearing and per the recommendation of a attorney friend, Ali was my “go to attorney” to resolve my situation. Ali and her team, were professional, prepared and above all, understood the law to the letter regarding my hearing. Ali’s hard work and preparation spared me a great deal of time and “headache” and resolved the hearing to my benefit. While I use the term “air-tight” loosely, Ali’s hard work paid off HUGE in my favor and I was able to put the non-sense behind me for good. I strongly reccomend Ali for any legal issues you might experience.
Upper Deck Homerun-- Thomas
Alison Saros produced fantastic results for my children’s IEP meetings. She’s personable, knowledgeable, professional, organized and a powerhouse that’s not afraid to tell it like it is! Her experience in the educational system and background as a district attorney, make her an extraordinary advocate. She will fight for what’s right. I’m eternally grateful for her hard work and pleased with the successful outcome.
