About Neeraj Singh Law

Criminal defense lawyer Neeraj D. Singh represents individuals charged with felonies and misdemeanors throughout Southern California. A Super Lawyers’ Southern California Rising Star, Neeraj has a practice that includes DUI, grand and petty theft (shoplifting), drug crimes, sex crimes, and deportable crimes. A southern California native, Neeraj grew up in Los Angeles County and is a graduate of Whittier Law School in Orange County. He has consistently been named on the Super Lawyers’ Southern California Rising Stars List, an honor reserved for only 2.5% of attorneys who exhibit excellence in practice, as well as on the National Trial Association’s prestigious “Top 40 Under 40” list.

It changed his life.” Neeraj is now able to fight for the rights of other good people whose lives have been impacted by criminal charges, such as a single mother with a disabled son who lost her job after being charged with theft.

In actuality, she was volunteering with a local food bank, which also kept her family fed. By conducting his own investigation, Neeraj was able to establish his client’s innocence. The D.A.’s office dropped the case, and the client was able to resume her career helping others. In his free time, Neeraj volunteers for the California Innocence Project, an organization dedicated to releasing
