What Attorneys Are Saying About Dennis's Courses
Dennis P. Riordan Bio
Over the last two decades, Dennis P. Riordan has repeatedly been evaluated as one of the best appellate litigators in California and the nation. He has argued issues of great breadth and importance in both criminal and civil cases, including several in the United States Supreme Court, and hundreds in state and federal appellate courts around the country. In 1989, California Lawyer Magazine named Mr. Riordan, labeled by his peers the "best criminal appellate attorney around," as one of the state's "Most Respected Lawyers." In the 2002 edition of his book "Persons and Masks of the Law," Judge John Noonan of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals cited Mr. Riordan as the single example of a lawyer who could make a difference on behalf of a defendant in a federal criminal appeal. In 1996, California Lawyer listed Mr. Riordan among its "Lawyers of the Year" for his work in first overturning George Franklin's murder conviction in the first case based on "repressed memory" testimony. That same year, the San Francisco Daily Journal called Mr. Riordan "one of the top criminal appellate specialists in California." In 2003, Mr. Riordan won honors from the San Francisco Chronicle as one of the "Top Ten Lawyers" in the Bay Area, nicknaming him "the Last Hope." In 2005 San Francisco Magazine described him as one of the nation's top appellate lawyers. The San Diego Union called him "one of the state's top appellate lawyers" following his success in overturning a new trial motion on the corruption convictions of former San Diego councilman Michael Zucchet. In May of 2006, the Sacramento Bee named Mr. Riordan as "one of the nation’s best known lawyers of last resort" in an article concerning his entry into the highly publicized prosecution of Hamid Hayat. In a 2007 article, the New York Times described Mr. Riordan as "one of California's top appellate lawyers... known as a brilliant writer of motions, briefs and jury instructions."CLE Courses by Dennis P.
