Holly S. Hanover

Holly Hanover has lived and worked in the San Diego area since 1978.  A graduate of both San Diego State and California Western School of Law (with honors), she has worked hard since 1994 to provide the best possible representation to her clients charged with federal crimes.  She began her legal career with Federal Defenders, Inc. of San Diego.  During her time there, she mentored younger attorneys and interns, and represented hundreds of clients successfully, obtaining acquittals, favorable outcomes during plea negotiations, and also obtained more dismissals than any other attorney in the office during her time there.

In 1997, Ms. Hanover opened her own law practice, and has specialized in defending clients charged with crimes in the federal system.  Her approach is a unique aggressiveness combined with an amiability to disarm foes while still fighting to defend the rights of her client.
