Firm Focus and History

I have been in the same location since 1980, serving the greater Los Angeles County area. Richard L. Trejo Law Office specializes in all the areas of law most likely to affect individuals just like you, and I have a long reputation for standing up for my clients ethically and competently.

Previous Employment Summary

I have been a sole practitioner for over 27 years at the same location. My office has been involved with several community service organizations over the years. One of current goals this year is to conduct workshops in a variety of areas of laws free to our community members. Through this avenue we hope to educate our community members so that they can make informed and educated decisions about matters that they deal with on an everyday basis.

We sponsor many events relating to the community; we just sponsored a "Back to School" benefit, speaking with parents and dealing with issues. We also try to unite communities with Outreach Programs; we have recently worked with churches and their schools programs; we belong to the Chamber of Commerce and have been working on a Community Center. We help local Student Councils who need money, and assist students to go to special programs in Sacramento, Washington, etc. Additionally, we have sponsored speed skating athletes, and most recently, one who is representing California in the World Speed Skating Team.
