ABOUT STEPHEN R. KAHN

With over 36 years of experience in state and federal criminal defense, Stephen R. Kahn is a highly regarded Beverly Hills criminal defense attorney.  His aggressive advocacy, intelligence, credibility, and trial skills have earned him the respect of prosecutors, law enforcement officials, and the courts.

Mr. Kahn’s expertise, integrity, and commitment to his clients earned him the coveted “AV-Preeminent” rating from Martindale-Hubbell. This rating, decided by fellow attorneys, is the highest possible rating available to any individual lawyer. Whether a complex federal matter or a first-time misdemeanor offense, Mr. Kahn has earned a well-deserved reputation for getting the right result for his clients.

Before charges are even filed or an indictment is returned, Mr. Kahn will often intervene with the police or federal agency in an attempt to resolve the matter.  If Mr. Kahn is retained post-filing or post-indictment, he immediately enters into negotiations with prosecutors for a dismissal or alternatives to the severe punishments pursued by the government. If a favorable result cannot be achieved, he will not hesitate to take a case to trial. Indeed, his  well-known record of “not guilty” verdicts spanning four decades is a testament to his abilities in front of a jury.

A key to Mr. Kahn’s success is his strong relationships with his clients. All clients, no matter what they are charged with, are treated with compassion and respect.  Mr. Kahn works tirelessly to show law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, and juries that his clients are not generic “defendants” defined by police reports and criminal complaints, but real human beings with unique life stories who deserve special consideration and attention.  

Mr. Kahn graduated with a B.A. From UCLA in 1969 and received his law degree from Loyola Law School in 1972.

Mr. Kahn is Admitted To practice in all California State and Federal Courts; U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit; and the following U.S. District Courts: District of Connecticut, Eastern District of Wisconsin, Southern District of Texas, District of Alaska, District of Minnesota, Eastern District of Virginia, Northern District of Oklahoma, Eastern District of New York.
