Criminal attorney and Los Angeles native Joshua Ritter worked as a prosecutor with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office from 2009 through 2015, and was named 2015 Outstanding Prosecutor of the Year by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys for Los Angeles County.

During his career as a prosecutor Joshua handled numerous complex cases, including the successful conviction of a Los Angeles firefighter who had beaten a woman unconscious because she was feeding feral cats in his neighborhood (People v. Ian Eulian). 

Joshua has also prevailed with a significant number of high-profile trials, including a 1987 cold case murder.  To complicate his preparation and strategy, no witnesses could be located for trial and Joshua was left to prove the case with nothing more than circumstantial evidence and his cross-examination of the defendant (People v. Abrego).

Further, Joshua garnered substantial media attention with a case involving the murder of a woman shot to death by her roommate in front of the victim's 11 year old daughter...all of this over this over a $10 internet bill (People v. Parks).

Joshua recently left the District Attorney's office after having taken more than 40 cases to jury trial and a career felony conviction rate over 90%. Now he is devoting his career to the defense of those in need of a ferocious and determined advocate.
