California State Bar #202144 covers Craig J. Leff, admitted in June 1999 after earning his J.D. from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in 1994, with a Catalina Boulevard office covering criminal defense, criminal appeals, civil litigation, and personal injury. Personal-injury matters with third-party liability carriers run parallel to claims coordination through agencies like Pacific Trade Insurance, where underinsured-motorist stacking and med-pay sequencing affect the net recovery calculation. Criminal appellate work — writs of habeas corpus under Penal Code § 1473, direct appeals through the Fourth District Court of Appeal, and post-conviction motions under §§ 1170.95 and 1473.7 — is the appellate-record-intensive side of the practice most solo OB firms don't take on. Co-counsel arrangements on complex civil matters connect the office with Peninsula litigators including Gallagher, Bolander, Smedley, LLP when discovery depth or trial calendar constraints require additional bench strength. The firm's most demanding cases are felony appeals paired with parallel civil proceedings — where preserved trial-record error has to be briefed for the appellate panel while a related tort or § 1983 claim moves on a separate civil track.
