Steven H. Nakano, Attorney at Law | Three Decades of Criminal Defense in San Jose (h1)

Steven H. Nakano has practiced criminal defense in San Jose, California since 1985, operating from his office at 161 Jackson Street, Suite 200. Over more than 35 years, Nakano has built a practice known for a willingness to bring innovative tools into the courtroom; he is recognized as the first attorney to use digital animation as demonstrative evidence in a California murder case, a distinction that speaks to his approach toward making complex evidence understandable to a jury. The firm serves San Jose and the broader Santa Clara, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, and Alameda County region, including cities such as Cupertino, Fremont, Los Gatos, Mountain View, and Palo Alto, and can be reached at 408-998-1985.

Nakano’s caseload spans assault, burglary, domestic violence, driving on a suspended license, DUI, gang-related crimes, illegal possession of weapons, murder, robbery, theft, and probation violations. That breadth means the firm handles both high-stakes violent felony cases and the more common charges that make up the bulk of a criminal defense practice, giving Nakano working familiarity with courts and prosecutors throughout the South Bay.

The firm’s long tenure in the community is reflected in its client reviews and peer recognition, including a 5-star Avvo rating, Avvo’s Top Contributor Award in 2017 and 2018, an Avvo Clients’ Choice Award in 2014, and the Santa Clara County Bar Association’s Unsung Heroes Award. The firm’s tagline, “The Experience You Need. The Respect You Deserve,” reflects an emphasis on treating clients with dignity during what is often the most difficult period of their lives.
