San Diego Criminal Defense & DUI Attorney Patrick Griffin was raised in a large family in a rural Montana community where he learned the value of hard work and perseverance. Griffin has handled both criminal and civil cases in every courthouse in San Diego County and has a long list of satisfied clients. Griffin's success is based on the attention he gives to each and every client, his tireless wo

rk ethic and his knowledge of the San Diego court system. Griffin’s extensive criminal defense experience started at one of the nation’s top boutique criminal defense firms, Brown & Doherty, P.A. At Brown & Doherty, Mr. Griffin defended nearly every type of criminal case ranging from capital murder to DUI. Griffin authored numerous federal appeals, including an appeal from a capital murder trial where the federal Circuit court vacated the sentence of two consecutive life terms and remanded the case to the trial court. Griffin's legal experience is not just limited to advocating for clients, he also completed a federal judicial internship with the Honorable James D. Whittemore, who has presided over numerous high profile cases, including the Terri Schaivo case. This experience allowed Mr. Griffin an inside look as to how judges decide legal issues and what judges look for in legal writing and argument. This behind the scenes experience equipped Mr. Griffin with the tools and information on how best to persuade a judge. Griffin graduated with honors from the US News & World Report’s #1 ranked trial advocacy school in the nation. Being a member of the nation’s #1 Trial Team allowed Mr. Griffin to learn from some of the country’s foremost experts on trial skills and techniques. This unmatched trial advocacy training allowed Mr. Griffin to win his first jury trial before he graduated from law school. Griffin is licensed to practice law in California and has access to some of the brightest and most seasoned legal minds in the country.
