Who We Are

Iredale & Roth is a boutique litigation firm based in San Diego, founded to provide world-class advice and representation to clients in their most challenging times. We provide an uncommon mixture of experience and expertise to help navigate high-stakes matters and arrive at the best possible outcomes.

We are trial attorneys. We treat every case like it will go before the jury, and we prepare strategically and relentlessly. Our approach reflects our years of experience handling dozens of trials, in state and federal court, across the United States. We know how to present disciplined and compelling narratives, and how to identify and exploit weaknesses in our opposition’s cases. And when appropriate and in our clients’ best interests, we know how to resolve matters favorably and efficiently.

We are experts in the full range of criminal matters. We have handled cases alleging complex and international wire and mail frauds, healthcare and securities frauds, money and cryptocurrency laundering, international and nationwide drug trafficking, racketeering and related conspiracies, homicides and crimes of violence, burglaries and other property crimes, “dark web” based offenses, crimes against minors, immigration offenses, vehicle-based crimes, and many other offenses. We have defended clients facing capital punishment and life imprisonment. We have successfully navigated cases against international defendants facing extradition and similar processes. We know how to handle exposure to OFAC sanctions, U.S. export controls, gang documentation issues, and so on. We have deep experience and familiarity with both the California and the federal sentencing regimes. We have had years of success persuading judges to impose defense-friendly outcomes based on thoughtful and well-developed presentations about our clients, and nuanced arguments about applicable sentencing laws and rules. 

We are talented and experienced investigators. We have led multi-year investigations into criminal conduct spanning the United States and the Western Hemisphere, focusing on some of the most significant illicit organizations in the world. We have uncovered extensive fraud and laundering activities, and we have developed clear and compelling understandings, based in evidence, of organizational conduct that needs addressing. We have also conducted investigations into potential issues arising under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the False Claims Act, and other complex laws. We know how to conduct internal investigations effectively and discreetly, and we know how to communicate with third parties, if and when appropriate. We are well positioned to help our clients identify, address, and resolve internal matters affecting their livelihoods.

We are veterans of the most complex forms of civil litigation, and we aggressively seek compensation for clients who have experienced wrongful injuries. We litigate harms committed by government actors, such as injuries occurring in custody or during contacts with law enforcement. We help people who have suffered discrimination by employers. And we help obtain compensation for harms arising from products liability and acts of negligence. We know how to help our clients get the recovery they deserve, and we are relentless seeking it for them.

At I&R, our mission is simple: provide the highest level of service to get the best possible result. We know what your matter means for you, and we’re here to help.
