Los Angeles Criminal Attorney Gregory Caplan

He became familiar with the policies and procedures of the office, and forged a strong working relationship with members of the organization.

Thereafter, Mr. Caplan became a city prosecutor in Los Angeles Superior Courts, and was an active member of the Los Angeles County Prosecutor’s Association. This group, which is comprised of representative prosecutors from each of the Los Angeles area city and county prosecutors’ offices, determines countywide protocol in many criminal prosecution matters. Working on many legal issues with this group during a five-year period further developed Mr. Caplan’s creative problem-solving ability. Mr. Caplan’s ideas were well-received during his time as a prosecutor, and because of this, prosecutors today are willing to consider his alternatives in criminal matters.

(See Case Results for Examples.)
