Our Irvine Office is conveniently located on Main Street, a short drive from the Newport Beach Harbor Orange County Court. Our proximity to the court and our years of experience trying cases in state and federal courts have allowed us to build up strong professional relationships with judges and prosecutors.

Client Reviews

“It was strongly recommended that I call federal defense attorney Michael L. Guisti. He had several investigators look at records and such, and my federal case was dismissed. Michael Guisti does what few attorneys can do, beat the federal government, and that is why if you’re in trouble with the government you need to call Michael Guisti right away!”

“I had everything to lose, my future, my education. Basically I did something that got me a misdemeanor, and the judge wanted to give a guilty plea. But Michael Guisti would not back down. Instead he fought for me, and now my record is clean.”
