Joseph Cavallo

Joseph G. Cavallo, an acclaimed, high-profile Orange County attorney, has law offices in Irvine and Los Angeles, California, where he offers clients top-notch legal services for personal injury, criminal defense, and business litigation cases. Born and raised in New Jersey, Cavallo attended St. Peter’s College in Jersey City before he went on to study law at the prestigious Western State University in Fullerton, California. Since being admitted to The State Bar of California he has built himself an indisputable reputation as a relentless fighter for justice that goes well beyond the borders of California.

Practicing law for more than two decades, Cavallo has served as lead trial counsel in a plethora of jury and non-jury trials. Some of his most prominent cases gained considerable attention in the media across the nation, including his defense of Gregory Haidl, son of former Orange County Assistant Sheriff Don Haidl, and his representation of former Orange County Assistant Sheriff George Jaramillo and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department in civil litigation. In the course of his hugely successful career Cavallo has built an impressive track record of victories for his clients, many of which found recognition in local and national newspaper articles, as well as on television and radio programs, including CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, CBS’48 hours and FOX’s Bill O’Reilly Factor.

Outside of the courtroom Cavallo invests a considerable amount of time and energy into developing ideas of how to help others. When hurricane Katrina hit the United States in 2005, Cavallo left his law office behind and made his way down south to Mississippi and Louisiana, two states that were hit especially hard by the tropical cyclone. Instead of writing a check, Cavallo donated something much more valuable: his time. He travelled to Biloxi, Miss., where he volunteered in the local Salvation Army camp, before heading to New Orleans, where he spent his days up to the elbows in grime and grit, working hard to alleviate the devastation Katrina had left behind.
