Trial Lawyers Relentlessly Pursuing Justice
Santa Barbara Murder Defense Attorneys
At Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP, we strongly believe in the Constitutional principle that any individual accused of a crime, no matter what crime that may be, is innocent unless proven otherwise. We know that prosecutors, law enforcement, judges, and juries often take a severe and unforgiving attitude towards those accused of murder. Our highly experienced legal team will work harder than any other firm to ensure that you receive a fair and unbiased trial.

Our attorney Mark Lessem gained national media attention for successfully defending the maid of a murdered Hollywood executive in a quadruple homicide death penalty case.
