TED THOMPSON LAW
Ted Thompson is a criminal defense lawyer with offices on the Westside of Los Angeles. He regularly practices in all of the Southern California courts and he has defended cases all across the state of California.
He is a graduate of UCLA School of Law and he has been in practice for thirty years. He began his criminal defense practice immediately upon admission to the Bar. Unlike some defense lawyers who began their career as a prosecutor, Ted has never engaged in the prosecution of people. He has worked exclusively in the defense of people accused of crime for his entire career.
Ted is admitted to practice before the California Supreme Court and all of the courts of the state of California. He is admitted to practice before the United States Federal District Court for the Central District of California and before the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. He also is admitted to practice in, and regularly practices before, the United States Immigration Court. He is an active member of numerous local bar associations.
Ninety percent of Ted’s practice involves the direct defense of criminal cases. But, he does also offer his services in situations that are criminally defense-related. For example, he also represents people in Immigration deportation proceedings that are the result of a criminal conviction. And, he represents people before the DMV in cases that are related to a criminal law matter. And, of course, he represents juveniles accused of crimes in the Juvenile Courts.READ MORE

Testimonials
Now, I’m married, settled down, and raising a family. I was looking at life in prison. (I was charged with attempted murder.) I just shudder to think where I might be right now if Ted had not been successful in defending me. He’s a fighter and he really fought for me.
I owe him a lot. I owe him my freedom.

Ted recently got me a not guilty verdict in a jury trial in my domestic violence case. I was not guilty (my girlfriend was a crazy lady who actually attacked me) and Ted proved my innocence to that jury. The thing that most impressed me about Ted was how he went about his lawyering and his attention to detail.
He was so completely prepared for everything…

When I was young and stupid, I was young and stupid. I got into a lot of trouble. It seemed like I was calling Ted to get me out of another jam every year or so.
He always came through for me. I owe him a lot.

Recently, I was a very minor player in a drug/money laundering scheme. My part was of little consequence, but I too became a part of a major federal drug investigation. Ted went to the United States Attorney and to the folks at the Homeland Security Department and he was able to convince them of my negligible part in the scheme.
David Z., Los Angeles
They dropped the charges against me.

… I applied for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) for protection against being deported. Because of my past misdemeanors, my DACA application was referred to the Immigration Court, where I did in fact face deportation. Ted went to bat for me. He was able to convince the Department of Homeland Security that there were extenuating circumstances in each of my four cases. The Department of Homeland Security withdrew its request that I be deported and the Immigration Judge granted my application for DACA status.
Couldn’t have done it without Ted.

I’m getting to be an old man now, but back 30 years ago Ted represented me in a DUI case that went all the way to a jury trial in Torrance. I was as drunk as a skunk, but I had not been driving. (The cop found me in my car, in the parking lot of a bar, where I had passed out after leaving the bar. I had left the bar, got into my car, realized I was too drunk to drive, and fell asleep. My car never moved a foot. The cop said he saw me leave the bar, drive around the block, and then pull back into the bar’s parking lot and fall asleep. That was total BS….cops do lie!)
Ted fought my case like a tiger.
