Law Office of Matthew G. Kaestner | Criminal Defense Attorney in Long Beach, CA (h1)
The Law Office of Matthew G. Kaestner is located at One World Trade Center, Suite 400, Long Beach, California 90831, and can be reached at (562) 437-0200. Kaestner graduated law school with high honors in trial practice in 1985 and began his career as a prosecutor with the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office before shifting to criminal defense after three years. After fifteen years of criminal law practice, he became certified as a criminal law specialist by the State Bar of California’s Board of Legal Specialization in 1999, a credential held by only a few hundred of the state’s attorneys, making him one of just three criminal law specialists with an office in Long Beach.
Over more than three decades of trial work, Kaestner has defended clients against nearly every category of criminal charge, from capital murder and homicide to white-collar crime, major drug offenses, gang cases, sex crimes, domestic violence, DUI, and serious misdemeanors, along with juvenile matters, probation and parole issues, and expungements. His caseload also includes self-defense claims and three-strikes cases, reflecting the range of serious charges that come through a solo practice built on decades of courtroom experience.
Kaestner’s standing in the criminal defense community includes recognition from the National Registry of Exonerations for a three-year effort that led to the exoneration of Juan Herrera, who had been wrongfully convicted of murder in Long Beach. That work, combined with his board certification as a criminal law specialist, has established Kaestner as one of the most experienced criminal defense attorneys practicing in the Long Beach area.
