William Felix

Job Titles:
  • Associate
  • Attorney
William Felix was born and raised in Chula Vista, California just seven miles from the U.S. international border with Mexico. As a second-generation immigrant, William's parents instilled in him the importance of pursuing the American dream through hard work, honesty, and dedication. This led William to become the first member of his family to earn a bachelor's and doctoral degree in the United States. William's passion for criminal defense law stems from witnessing firsthand the life-changing consequences that come when good people enter the criminal justice system without a strong advocate in their corner who fights for their rights and ensures a fair day in court. This is especially the case for noncitizens whose interaction with the criminal justice system can have lasting consequences that go beyond the criminal matter. William understands that entering the criminal justice system can be an overwhelming experience for the defendant and the defendant's loved ones. William is committed to making the experience as comfortable as possible through genuine empathy and vigorous representation each and every time.
