Verify with the State BarRafay Shahid founded Legal Lion to deliver aggressive, careful criminal defense for people facing serious charges. When your freedom and future are on the line, you get direct advocacy — not a one-size-fits-all approach from a high-volume firm.
The practice
Legal Lion was founded in 2020 with a clear focus: criminal defense. I represent clients facing misdemeanors through serious felonies throughout Southern California. The practice is solo by design — so strategy, court appearances, and client communication stay with me.
Being charged with a crime is one of the most stressful experiences a person can face. My job is to protect your rights, pressure-test the government's case, and fight for the best outcome the facts and the law allow.
I do not back down from tough cases, and I will not push a plea that does not serve your interests. You will get honest advice, careful preparation, and courtroom advocacy when the case calls for it.
How I work
Aggressive defense
I challenge weak evidence, illegal stops, and procedures that cut corners. Your rights are not optional.
Personal attention
You work with me directly — not a rotating team. Your case gets the attention it deserves.
Courtroom focus
Prepared to litigate when negotiation is not enough. Trial readiness shapes better outcomes.
