Daniel E. Kann

After receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Utah in 1999, Daniel E. Kann earned his law degree from the University of San Francisco, School of Law. While still in law school, Dan took part in a program at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office that allowed him to take on criminal defense cases as a law student. Through his work with the Public Defender’s Office, Attorney Kann found his calling and to this day continues to fight for the rights of defendants facing criminal charges.

Admitted to the State Bar of California in 2004, Attorney Kann began his legal career working at a private criminal defense firm. He then joined the Kern County Public Defenders Office, where it took him less than three years to work his way up from handling clients charged with misdemeanor offenses to handling felony trials. In 2008, Daniel Kann started his own practice, The Law Offices of Daniel E. Kann, where he defends the rights of clients facing very serious felony and misdemeanor charges, including murder, manslaughter, vehicular homicide, rape, robbery, burglary, assault and battery, weapons charges, terrorist threats, assault on a police officer, battery, sexual battery, receiving stolen property, auto theft, petty theft, fraud, gang cases, three strike cases, child abuse and domestic violence.

Dan is licensed to practice law in all California state courts and was admitted to the practice of law in the United States District Court for the Central District of California in 2004. Attorney Kann fights criminal cases throughout Los Angeles, Ventura, Orange, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, and has handled more than 3,000 felony and misdemeanor criminal cases. Additionally, he is a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the California DUI Lawyers Association, California Attorneys for Criminal Justice and the California Public Defenders Association.
