The Bench

Edgar Vera.

Trial Attorney

Edgar Vera was born in Ensenada, Mexico and emigrated to the United States in 1996 when he was 7 years old. He graduated California State University Long Beach in 2011, with honors, earning a B.A. in Philosophy and a B.S. in Criminal Justice. Edgar put himself through college by working Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as a manager of a McDonald's in Long Beach, and volunteered Friday mornings at the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles. That work ethic and a deep commitment to the people he represents define his practice today.
