Seth R. Hancock

 Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer

Seth R. Hancock is a criminal defense lawyer who has spent his entire career in the trenches — and on the side of the accused. He started out fighting to free people serving life sentences, building habeas petitions on claims of actual innocence, Brady violations, and ineffective assistance of counsel. That first chapter shaped how he practices today: the system gets things wrong, the stakes are always personal, and a defense lawyer’s job is to win. From there he moved to the front lines of LA County trying cases, litigating contested evidentiary hearings, and learning the system inside and out. Since then, Seth has stood beside clients at every stage of a criminal case — from arraignment through trial and post-conviction work unwinding wrongful convictions and the immigration consequences that follow. He earned his J.D. from Loyola Law School and graduated magna cum laude from Cal Poly Pomona, with a minor in philosophy that still shows up in the way he picks apart a prosecutor’s theory. When he’s not in court, you’ll find him cheering on the Angels and the Lakers — usually loudly.

“The system gets things wrong, and when someone’s freedom is on the line, the stakes could not be more personal. My job is to stand with the accused, challenge the prosecution at every turn, and fight to win.”

Built On Preparation

Seth believes cases are won long before anyone walks into a courtroom. He digs into discovery, scrutinizes evidence, and works through the fileuntil he knows the case better than anyone. That preparation is what allows him to spot the weaknesses in the prosecution’s case, anticipate their next move, and put his clients in the strongest possible position.

A Lawyer Who Listens

The criminal justice system is overwhelming, and Seth knows his clients need more than a legal strategy — they need someone who will pick up the phone, answer their questions honestly, and treat their case with the urgency it deserves. He takes the time to learn who his clients are beyond the charges they face, because the people behind a case matter just as much as the facts of it. That perspective shapes every decision he makes on their behalf.
