Bay Area Public Defender

Having worked as a public defender since 2009, Avi is intimately and frustratingly familiar with our criminal legal system. He previously co-hosted Aider and Abettor with Sajid Khan, a podcast focused on criminal law and culture. Avi maintains a busy trial practice. In his non courtroom-time, Avi is dedicated to engaging in conversations with people working to advance justice and dignity for all. Avi is a graduate of Harvard Law School (a fact Kate wants him to always lead with).
