Our Legacy of Unconventional Excellence

Founded in 1971 by Oscar Zeta Acosta, our firm has established a reputation for bold, innovative legal representation that challenges the status quo while maintaining the highest standards of professional excellence.

Acosta Law was born from a desire to represent those whose voices were often silenced in the legal system. Our founding principle—that justice should be accessible to all, regardless of their station in life—continues to guide our practice today.

What distinguishes us is our unwavering commitment to our clients' causes and our willingness to explore unconventional legal strategies when traditional approaches fall short. Our attorneys combine decades of experience with a perspective that values creativity and moral courage.

In the words of our founder, "The legal profession has become too complacent with injustice." We strive every day to embody the alternative to that complacency.
