Elite Clients Deserve Elite Lawyers

If you suspect you may be under investigation, call right away; We can begin to protect your rights before charges are ever filed.

Prosecution can be political. Former prosecutors know the playbook.

When your reputation, freedom, and livelihood are at stake, you need lawyers who understand the prosecution playbook and can navigate the complexities that come with high-profile representation. Radford & Rome specializes in discreetly handling cases involving celebrities, influencers, executives, licensed professionals, and public figures facing serious allegations and intense media scrutiny. We also know the pitfalls and intricacies involved in representing professionals like other lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, and others with licenses that need protection.

Many criminal defense attorneys don’t understand how to help before charges are filed, but we can often intervene even before arrests take place or before law enforcement refers your case to the prosecution, leaving you with a spotless record. We’ve had success with that approach even when serious felony assault, domestic violence, or child sexual abuse allegations are made, but in order to get results like that you need to move fast and retain an attorney as soon as you suspect you may be under investigation.

Why High-Profile Clients Trust Radford & Rome:

Our attorneys are former high level felony trial prosecutors who have successfully managed high-stakes, media-intensive cases throughout Southern California. Our strategic approach ensures:

  • Complete Discretion: Protecting your privacy and public image at every stage.
  • Experience: Our attorneys have experience at every stage of the case from pre-investigation through sentencing. We have also handled administrative and licensing issues for clients whose livelihoods need protection.
  • Media Management: Proactive narrative control and crisis response to manage public perception.
  • Comprehensive Coordination: Collaboration with staff, PR professionals, civil counsel, licensing boards, and other strategic advisors.

This firm is amazing. I really like their new Hollywood office it’s so much easier to get to than the old one downtown. These guys help me out after other attorneys were not able to and everyone was so nice and seem so smart and professional. I would completely recommend them to anybody, looking for a kind, compassionate and effective attorney. My favorite was David Rome, who helped me out so much and who I continue to ask questions of all the time but of course all of the attorneys were great to work with.
