PEEP OUR TEAM

We’ve got you covered.


I thought it was over. I was on my 4th gun case and had been to prison 4 times already . The Noriega law firm was able to negotiate a deal for House Arrest and Probation 🙏🏾. I was so excited with the outcome. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs help.

Lauren is the best attorney in LA. I retained her for my son’s juvenile case that was pretty serious. He was facing some serious time for his first (hopefully last) case and Lauren got him just 18 months. She was very understanding and easy to communicate with. Thanks for everything Attorney Lauren Noriega the trillest lawyer ever. ❤️

Outstanding legal counsel, professional and courteous service! Ms. Noriega is guiding me on my path to a new life and redemption. She has been more than thorough, efficient, easy to understand and persistent in assisting me through the expungement process. Reaching out to her and trusting her with my case has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!
— GERALD JOHNSON
I was very pleased with the out come of my case. Noriega isn’t one of those attorneys that gets your money and won’t go to war with you. She stayed solid from start to finish! Noriega saved me from a 4 yr prison term for a possession of an un registered Assault Rifle charge. Must of all she didn’t make any promises that she couldn’t keep! I highly recommend the Noriega Law firm.

Ms. Noriega was highly effective in my case. she made the impossible possible, Im glad she represented me, definitely made me feel comfortable and secure that she wasn’t just some attorney telling me just anything. I highly recommend her.

Ms. Lauren Noriega in my opinion, is the best and most professional lawyer I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. In my experience with her, she was always on top of issues regarding my case. In court, she gave me nothing but confidence simply because of the confidence and professionalism she exhibited. Court issues can be life changing events and you need the right person to make the right moves and procedures, she is the person for that job!
Ms. Noriega will get the job done regardless.
Thank you Nori!

I run a successful social media account (@misterbubz) and as the brand grew to international fame, some guy started pretending to be us and stealing followers, in an effort to extort money from me. Lauren was able to find who this man was, his location, and served him with a letter explaining how we would be seeking damages for this extortion and with in a matter of hours he’s actions toward my social media accounts stopped! Lauren was supportive, professional, and she handled business with in a matter of a week. I had tried on my own to stop the issue for five months, I had my following of 524K people try and help report the extorter, no one at facebook would stop the extorter, and it took Noriega ONE WEEK to end the madness - she is the BEST! If you want to win, she is your only option.

There was a lot of injustice from police and a lot of falsification that she fought for. She trusted herself and reassured me she had my best interest the entire time. She was reasonably and willing to work with. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with criminal matters.

ATTORNEY LAUREN NORIEGA (@NORI_THENIGHTMARE)

Lauren Noriega grew up in Victorville, California. The oldest of five in a family of law enforcement, Attorney Noriega always loved school and had an interest in the law. She received her undergraduate degree in health sciences with a certificate in gerontology from California State University, San Bernardino in 2012. Attorney Noriega spent one year as a full-time nutritionist for a supplement manufacturer before deciding to pursue her career in the legal field.

Attorney Noriega received the Loyola Scholar Award and graduated from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles in 2016. While at Loyola Law School, she was heavily involved in Loyola Law School’s Project for the Innocent – a clinic where students work on cases of wrongful conviction. Attorney Noriega helped to exonerate a man who had been wrongfully imprisoned for 20 years. It is during this time that Attorney Noriega realized she wanted to pursue a career in criminal defense. Seeing how police and government misconduct can lead to wrongful convictions, Attorney Noriega set out to ensure the government is held accountable in all of her cases.

While still in law school, Attorney Noriega landed a job at a criminal defense firm in West Covina, California. She worked at the firm as a law clerk until passing the California state bar on her first attempt. She worked as an associate with the firm until May of 2017. In May 2017, Attorney Noriega decided to open her own firm. In just under a year and a half, The Noriega Law Firm has built a reputation for aggressive criminal defense at every stage: from investigation to sentencing, and even post-conviction. Attorney Noriega handles many California wrongful conviction cases, and prides herself in developing close relationships with every client. She believes that developing a relationship with the client is the only way to properly advocate and tell the client’s story – a duty that many of today’s attorneys fail to prioritize. Attorney Noriega advertises primarily via social media, which allows her clients to peek inside her personal and professional life – building trust and rapport in a way that many attorneys are unable to emulate.

PARALEGAL ASHLEY RHOADS

Ashley Rhoads recently traded the Colorado mountains for the LA sunshine. Her relocation goal was to plant roots with a growing firm that valued her eagerness to impact others on a human level, as opposed to merely a professional level. Ashley sought to join a team focused on a common purpose --- correcting a broken and racially biased justice system one case at a time. Ashley's legal background ranges from animal law to complex civil litigation,  and everything in between. What sets Ashley apart is her understanding that correcting the big picture begins with mending the smaller pieces. She understands the importance of treating a misdemeanor client of equal importance to high-profile felony clients. Because she naturally embodies qualities that cannot be taught, her addition to the firm strengthens our ability to march into brutal battles beside the client, while at the same time, providing emotional support without judgment outside of the courtroom --- a multi-faceted quality most firms fail to incorporate in today's money-driven market.

Not all heroes wear capes. I was facing 10 felony counts / up to 8 years state prison, Ms. Noriega managed to get me off with only half of the counts & 6 months HOUSE ARREST! Truly a savant in her craft. I couldn’t be more thankful I contacted the Noriega law firm.

This Woman here helped saved my Son’s life. I can’t Thank her enough for her hard work and dedication. Lauren wasn’t just an Attorney, she was an advocate, confidant that fought so hard for my sons life! You’re an incredible person and a real tough “Cookie”! If it wasn’t for her hard fight, my son would have suffered a much more severe punishment. You Rock Lady!!!
— GINA HARVEY
I had a great experience with Attorney Noriega. I was caught in a bind, law enforcement had possession of my vehicle and would not release it with out detectives speaking with me. I was not comfortable in doing this, so I contacted Attorney Noriega and retained her for pre-arraignment services. She was able to a to reach out to the PD holding my vehicle to notify them she was representing me and got it released without me having to step foot inside. I would definitely recommend and use her services again in the future.
— OMAR SAENZ
If you are looking for a hard working dedicated fighter then you will not go wrong with Ms. Noriega she will FIGHT.

First off, let me start by thanking my Attorney Noriega, again, Nori Thank You for turning my nightmare into a dream come true! Attorney Noriega has delivered above and beyond legal and professional representation. Everything from honoring our agreement to working towards the best possible solution for the client, myself. My experience has been highly favorable. From the first time I spoke to her over the phone, to my court date(s), my confidence was reassured beyond reason. In addition to being very thorough, She is Knowledgeable without a doubt, which was the difference in my case, Im sure. She took the time to explain and make sure it was a clear understanding of the topics at hand.
I had no grey areas. I was not left in the dark at any point during my case. My time spent as a client of the Noriega Law Firm has been, and is everything I needed it to be. She will deliver. I highly recommend Attorney Noriega and the Noriega Law Firm to anyone needing a criminal attorney!

I heard about Attorney Lauren Noriega through Boskoe on Instagram & I started following her on social media. I knew for a fact if I ever needed an Attorney she was definitely the one to call. I’m glad I got to meet & also retain Ms. Noriega on my case, she is a very Educated Intelligent woman & knows how to handle her business. She is very well spoken & knew the correct paperwork to file right away, Lauren is very professional & was more then willing to drive anywhere in Southern California to stand by my side & defend me in court.. The law has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, she’s an expert at raising that doubt. I’m 150% satisfied with the outcome of my case. My Wife & I are extremely grateful for all her hard work & time she put into my case.. With all that being said “Case Dismissed” she’s worth every dime I promise, if your thinking about retaining her don’t cheat yourself treat yourself, I’m able to move on with my life now & spend the quality time my Family deserves, if it wasn’t for Ms. Noriega I wouldn’t be here right now!
