Experienced Legal Representation for Lompoc Residents

Lessem, Newstat & Tooson, LLP offers comprehensive legal services across four core practice areas, each designed to address the specific needs of clients in Lompoc and throughout Santa Barbara County.

  • Criminal Defense: We provide vigorous defense against felony and misdemeanor charges in both state and federal courts. From DUI and drug offenses to assault, domestic violence, theft, sex crimes, and violent felonies such as murder or manslaughter, our attorneys develop strategic defenses aimed at dismissal, reduction of charges, or acquittal. We also assist with pre-filing interventions, probation violations, expungements, and appeals, ensuring every client receives personalized attention tailored to Lompoc’s local justice system.
  • Mental Health Law: Recognizing the intersection of mental health and the justice system, we advocate for clients facing charges influenced by mental health conditions. Our team handles involuntary holds, sanity hearings, not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity defenses, mental health diversion programs, restoration of sanity proceedings, and appearances in specialized mental health courts. We work tirelessly to secure treatment-focused outcomes rather than incarceration when appropriate, supporting clients and families through compassionate, informed representation.
  • Personal Injury: If you or a loved one has suffered serious injury due to someone else’s negligence, whether in a car accident, premises liability case, or other incident, we fight to secure full and fair compensation. Our personal injury attorneys handle catastrophic injuries, wrongful death claims, and related matters on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. We move quickly to preserve evidence and maximize your recovery.
  • Civil Rights: We protect individuals whose constitutional rights have been violated, including cases involving police misconduct, excessive force, false arrest, and discrimination. Our civil rights practice empowers Lompoc residents to hold accountable those who infringe on privacy, due process, or equal protection under the law, delivering justice through both litigation and negotiated resolutions.
