Before becoming an attorney, Mr. DeLimon graduated college "Summa Cum Laude" with a degree in Criminal Justice before attending the prestigious University of California Law - San Francisco where he focused on criminal trial work in prosecution and criminal defense.

In 2020, Mr. DeLimon left the District Attorney's Office and founded his own criminal defense firm, DeLimon Law, with the goal of restoring more balance to a system that was heavily tilted in favor of the government, the prosecution, and conviction, and "saving the lives" of anyone facing serious criminal charges.

Mr. DeLimon's experience gives him a unique insight into these cases that allows him to exploit investigative and prosecution errors. Mr. DeLimon's work ethic and experience in the field and in the courtroom allows him to cross examine witnesses against his clients in a systematic, strategic, and destructive fashion, always with the goal of getting to the truth, and what really did or did not occur.

Using tese methods, Mr. DeLimon has successfully represented hundreds of clients, achieving dismissals, charge reductions, and favorable resolutions in cases ranging from misdemeanors to serious felony allegations, including murder, sexual assault, rape, and three-strikes cases.
