Profile

Mr. Lemon's practice is dedicated to defending the accused -- primarily in serious and sophisticated cases in federal and California trial courts and in federal appellate courts.  He has successfully represented numerous clients in significant and complex cases including capital murder, attempted murder, narcotics trafficking, marijuana cultivation, alien smuggling, racketeering, and white-collar crime (including SEC investigations).

But his firm also represents clients charged with less serious offenses, including simple drug possession, DUI, domestic violence, and other misdemeanors. 

Mr. Lemon is a graduate of Stanford Law School and is certified by the National Board of Trial Advocacy and the State Bar of California as a specialist in Criminal Trial Advocacy.
