Criminal defense attorney William Kroger has dedicated 100% of his career to helping men and women caught up in a criminal prosecution.

Experience Helping People Like You

Every day in court, he works to place checks on the power of the prosecution. He is honored to defend each one of his clients, no matter what crime they are accused of or where they come from.

Sometimes the best results in a criminal case can come from meeting with the prosecutor and convincing them that the charges against our client don't advance justice. Other times, we have to take our best cases to trial by a jury. Since William started practicing around the Los Angeles area in 1997, he has developed working relationships with many others in the criminal court system, including judges, district attorneys, court clerks, and other lawyers. His clients benefit from his years of experience developing effective strategies for a successful result.

Personal Attention When You Need it Most

Lawyers sometimes talk about “routine” cases like they are no big deal, because we aren't the ones facing a criminal conviction or jail time. However, for William, each clients is facing one of the most important challenges in their life. That's why every client gets personal attention, and he makes sure to review every case. He worries about clients. He makes follow-up phone calls and meets with families to explain what is going on in the case or what we can expect at the next court hearing.

People can turn to William for support when they are in court for the first time. "I still remember standing up in court with my first client. I don't know who was more nervous, him or me. Thinking about how I felt that day it reminds me of how frightening court can be for my clients."

100% Dedicated to Criminal Defense

Even as a young lawyer, William knew that he did not want to work as a prosecutor and put people in prison. Though he saw some big-shot criminal defense attorneys advertise their work as ex-prosecutors, he never understood how someone who once celebrated sending a young mother to jail could ever shift their loyalties completely. That's why he has proudly dedicated his entire career to the defense of others.

Driven to Take on the Toughest Cases

In court, William tackles the challenging cases with the same dedication and focus he uses as an expert skier and ice climber. He has become confident enough to ski down any double black diamond ski run you put in front of me because his years of training honed his ability to think quickly, avoid unnecessary obstacles, and react appropriately to changing conditions. Complex criminal cases and trials give some of the same challenges.

In complex drug cases, there are so many moving parts that you have to understand before taking action. Major narcotics investigations may scare some drug lawyers, but William finds the way that the different agencies work together fascinating. Often the best defenses come from following the trail of wiretaps, confidential informants, and GPS data to find that there is nothing to support the initial allegation. If the best-trained FBI agent can mess up on a multi-million dollar investigation, imagine what we can find if we look closely at a petty theft case.

With over 20 years of experience as a practicing attorney, Willaim has been called to bring his skills and abilities to cases in many courts. He am admitted to practice in all state and federal courts in California. He is also proud to represent my clients if they find themselves in other jurisdictions.
