Attorney Darren Kavinoky is no stranger to the courtroom or television cameras – he is the in-house legal analyst and correspondent for the syndicated television show The Insider, and is also a frequent guest on Entertainment Tonight, Dr. Phil, NBC's Today Show, several programs on CNN's Headline News Channel, and many other TV and radio shows. Darren has established a strong presence in the celebrity news genre, where his legal expertise and personable style ensure that he is demand.  Darren's viewpoints are informed by his considerable professional achievements, including having been twice named a SuperLawyer Rising Star and recently a SuperLawyer, as well as being designated one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in California by the American Trial Lawyers Association. An experienced and accomplished communicator, Darren will add authenticity, personality and humor to any broadcast.

Darren is an incredibly effective legal advocate and is known as one of the top lawyers in his area of practice. He was recently recognized as one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in California by The American Trial Lawyers Association. Los Angeles Magazine twice named him a “Super Lawyer Rising Star,” an honor reserved for only the top five percent of the lawyers in California.  He also earned a coveted “AV” rating in the Martindale-Hubbell Registry, a peer review honor that singles out attorneys who are at the highest level of skill and ethical integrity.

Darren credits much of his courtroom success to his policy of relentless investigation.  He is well-versed in the ethics of private investigation, locating missing persons (including the use of public record and research databases, as well as good old-fashioned snooping and interviewing), crime scene investigation, surveillance techniques, interviewing witnesses, accident reconstruction, wiretapping and other search and seizure issues, and generating and capitalizing upon appropriate publicity relating to these matters.  Darren has worked hand-in-hand with some of the country’s leading private investigators and forensic experts, and has real-world experience in producing results that matter.

Darren is also known as a talented teacher and communicator.  He is regularly invited to speak to other lawyers at seminars around the country, and has taught on topics as diverse as handling the media in high-profile cases, effective cross-examination techniques, jury selection, dealing with complex forensic evidence, and the ethics of criminal defense.  Darren has a gift for taking complex legal theories and breaking them down into simple, useful practices. As a result, the State Bar of California has deemed The Kavinoky Law Firm an authorized provider of Continuing Legal Education.   He was also recently asked to author a national textbook on search and seizure law, with an anticipated release in 2010.

Darren has an authenticity and unique perspective that is truly refreshing. He has the innate ability to communicate effectively across all socioeconomic boundaries, a talent that has resulted in many favorable jury verdicts.  As a result, The Kavinoky Law Firm’s client roster is broad and includes many high-profile individuals such as a supermodel and actress, L.A.P.D. officers and sheriff’s deputies, firefighters, a Secret Service Agent, and several nationally known radio and TV personalities.  He has also successfully represented scores of lower-profile clients, and regularly takes on pro bono cases.  Darren cares little about whether his clients are “white collar,” “blue collar,” or “no collar.” As a result, The Kavinoky Law Firm is one of the largest and most successful firms in California.   

Darren resides in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles with his wife and daughter.
