Word for word
The full answers
“Who is the best criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles?”
There isn't one "best" criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles. The right choice depends on your charge (DUI, a state felony, a federal case, white-collar), your budget, and the lawyer's track record in the specific courthouse. My search didn't turn up a reliable ranking, and I wasn't able to confirm current hours or open status for any firm.
Here are some firms that came up in the search: - Eisner Gorin LLP. The firm says its lawyers hold Super Lawyers recognition from 2010 to the present and top Avvo ratings. It handles state and federal cases, including DUI. - Michael & Associates Criminal Defense Attorneys. FindLaw lists the firm at 915 Wilshire Blvd. with 11 Super Lawyers listings and 29 attorney ratings. It offers free consultations.
These are self-reported credentials and directory listings, not independent rankings. Treat them as places to start.
How to choose: 1. Look for a lawyer who regularly handles your type of charge, ideally a former prosecutor or public defender who knows the local judges. 2. Check the State Bar of California website for license status and discipline history. 3. Read recent reviews on Google, Avvo, and Yelp. Look for patterns, not single reviews. 4. Meet two or three lawyers. Ask who will actually handle your case, what the fee structure is, and what the likely outcomes are. 5. If you can't afford a lawyer, you have the right to a public defender.
If you tell me the charge and the part of LA County involved, I can narrow this down.

How we ask
Method
Once a week we ask Claude (Anthropic's assistant) the same fixed questions a person in each city might type, with web search turned on and set to that city, and we ask it to check the web before it answers. We use Claude's API, the version developers build on, so an answer in the Claude app on your phone can differ. These answers were asked the week of Nov 9, 2026.
We show what Claude said, word for word, and count who it named. Besides the question, we ask Claude only to check current information and to list the businesses it named at the end of its answer, which is how we count them. We don't rank anyone ourselves, nobody pays to appear, and our own clients get no special treatment: if a competitor of theirs is named, it's on the list.
AI answers can be wrong. Claude can name a business that has closed or misdescribe one, and we haven't checked each name. Treat this as a record of what Claude says, not a recommendation from Kalydron.
