Edward Thomas Dunn Jr

Tom Dunn has been handling criminal cases in courtrooms throughout Southern California successfully for more than 30 years, and he has been certified as a Specialist in Criminal Law & Appellate Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization.

He served as a Law Professor and an instructor for police departments for more than two decades, and in recent years, he has served as an expert witness and consultant for California cities and counties, for other defense law firms, and for the State Bar of California.

Dunn ultimately won the first case he ever handled as a lawyer in the United States Supreme Court in 1988, and since then, he has achieved significant appellate victories that have changed American law and affected lives across the United States.

After devoting the first half of his career to the public sector as a Senior Deputy District Attorney, a Deputy Attorney General for the State of California, and a Senior Judicial Attorney for the California Court of Appeal, he has spent the latter half of his career as defense counsel, helping people whose liberty is at stake deal effectively with law enforcement and the state and federal justice systems.
