Debra S. White is a California State Bar Board-Certified Criminal Law Specialist with more than 25 years of trial experience. She defends the full spectrum of criminal charges, from misdemeanors to serious felonies, including domestic violence, sex crimes, violent offenses, DUI and vehicular manslaughter, theft and property offenses, complex federal prosecutions, and high-profile cases.

Recognized by Super Lawyers® for over a decade and trusted throughout Los Angeles and nearby counties, Ms. White is respected for her thorough preparation, clear communication, and determined advocacy, which have consistently led to positive results for her clients.

Fewer than 1% of California attorneys are Board-Certified in Criminal Law — a distinction that reflects expertise and advanced trial training. Ms. White, together with investigators, forensic specialists, and other experts when needed, brings that standard to every matter, from a first-time misdemeanor to a complex federal indictment, with a focus on:

  • Early Intervention — protecting clients under investigation before charges are filed

  • Thorough Investigation — identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s case

  • Strategic Negotiations — focused on securing favorable outcomes both inside and outside the courtroom

  • Trial-Ready Preparation — fierce defense strategies built for serious trials

  • Discretion & Protection — trusted defense in media-sensitive or reputation-critical cases

To some attorneys, success against overwhelming odds is a fantasy. To Attorney Debra White, it’s all in a day’s work.
