WHO WE ARE
Lamano Law Office (LLO) is a top rated, boutique, woman owned law firm located in Oakland, California. We keep our clients out of jail and defend people accused of crimes using a holistic approach influenced by restorative justice.  We believe that people should not be defined by their worst act and represent our clients in court as human beings and not just another case number on a large stack of files on a judge’s desk.  We value empathy for our clients who hire us during a vulnerable time in their life, that empathy and patience can go a long way for the people we serve and for ourselves, tenacity and efficiency in how we do our work, and authenticity in how we operate.
