Find out more about Cedric:

Cedric Severino is a Los Angeles criminal defense trial attorney, who specializes in defending people accused of drug related offenses. A native Midwesterner, he was born in Chicago, and spent the rest of his childhood in Iowa City. He graduated Oberlin College in 2003 and headed westward for the first time to Los Angeles where he attended USC Law School, where he served on the USC Law Review, graduating in 2006. He began his legal career at O'Melveny & Myers, the oldest and largest law firm in Los Angeles, but decided his principals were more important that prestige, and, in early 2008, left for the Orange County Public Defender's Office, where he worked in North Court in Fullerton, CA. Cedric now has his own legal practice in Los Angeles. He is a member of many criminal defense organizations and is politically involved in support of medicinal marijuana and drug legalization, and may be contacted at CedricSeverino@Gmail.Com.
