Attorney Arturo Angel Burga began his legal career in 2003 while working for a Los Angeles Criminal Defense and Immigration Attorney. That's where he discovered a passion for the law.

Clients come to him when other attorneys have told them they can't do anything for them.

Mr. Burga has a high success rate in dismissing past criminal convictions that resulted in denial or loss of legal status, denial of citizenship or deportation.

Mr. Burga knows that clients are often told to plead guilty so that they can get out of jail and go home. They plead guilty and then without realizing that they will be getting deported.
