Caitlin Taylor

Caitlin’s passion for criminal law began at the young age of 16-years-old when she interned for a prosecutor’s office in Portland, Oregon. Her interest in the field continued to grow through criminal law internships and clerkships she held throughout university and law school. She received a Bachelor of Arts in both Criminal Justice and Psychology from Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington in 2009 and her J.D. from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon in 2012. Ms. Taylor was called to the California Bar in 2012.

After graduating from law school in 2012, Caitlin clerked for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office’s Sex Crimes Division and then practised civil litigation in Los Angeles for two years until returning to her true passion of criminal law. In 2015, she was hired as a Deputy District Attorney for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the United States’ largest prosecutor’s office. During her time as a prosecutor, Caitlin's caseload included impaired driving (including drug impaired), domestic and sexual assaults, drug offences (possession, manufacturing and trafficking), theft and fraud offences, gang offences, firearms offences, and violent offences such as robbery, assault, attempted murder and homicide. As a former prosecutor in one of the United States’ largest and most violent citiies, her trial experience in front of a jury is extensive and comparatively well beyond many Canadian lawyers.
