About
About Us
We know the criminal justice system at Houlé Law, serving Rancho Palos Verdes and the South Bay area. We understand how it functions from every perspective, not just the defense side.
We understand the prosecutor’s standpoint. Our founder, Lisa Houlé, began her career more than 15 years ago as a deputy district attorney in Los Angeles County, the largest prosecutor’s office in the country. In this role, she focused on prosecuting serious criminal charges such as sex crimes and domestic violence.
We also understand the police officer’s viewpoint. Lisa Houlé is a former law enforcement instructor for the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the Department of Public Safety, and the LAX Airport Police Department. She has worked closely with law enforcement officers and knows their jobs and roles in the criminal justice system.
We understand your standpoint. You have been charged with a crime, maybe for the first time. Perhaps you have had to deal with this before. Maybe you have been wrongfully accused. Maybe you made a mistake. Whatever the case may be, this is a stressful position, and it is easy to fall prey to the complexities and challenges of the criminal justice system.
You have rights, and your voice needs to be heard. We can be your advocates. We know what you are up against and what you have been through. Our experience means we are well-positioned to guide you through the criminal justice system, protecting your rights and telling your story, fighting aggressively to help you achieve the best possible result.
