About Phil
Phil Hache earned his Juris Doctor from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles in 2008. The degree followed a period of legal study that prepared him for trial work and courtroom practice. He left law school the same year he gained membership in the California State Bar and began building a private practice.
Soon after admission to the bar, Hache established the Law Offices of Philip D. Hache, A Professional Corporation. He has been listed as a lawyer there since 2008. Over the years he has handled matters that take him into state courts and appellate work within the Ninth Circuit. That federal appellate jurisdiction is among the places where he maintains admission to appear.
Hache’s memberships reflect a practice rooted in criminal defense. He joined the Private Defenders of California in 2009 and has remained a member since then. In 2010 he also became a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association, an organization focused on issues arising from driving-under-the-influence cases. Earlier in his career he belonged to local bar groups; he was a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association and the San Fernando Valley Bar Association from 2008 to 2010.
Those affiliations signal the types of matters that commonly come to his office. Colleagues and court calendars show a steady stream of criminal matters, including DUI-related cases. He has handled arraignments, pretrial motions, plea negotiations and trials. His work spans the typical phases of criminal defense, from initial charging decisions to post-conviction proceedings when appropriate.
Hache runs a small professional corporation under his name. The firm’s structure allows him to manage casework directly and to remain involved in the day-to-day litigation. Clients generally meet with him in person or by scheduled appointment, and he oversees case strategy and filing schedules. He has continued practicing through changes in the courts and in state law that affect criminal and DUI practice.
The profile of his career is one of steady private practice anchored in criminal defense and DUI work. He maintains active standing in the California State Bar and continues to accept cases through the Law Offices of Philip D. Hache, A Professional Corporation, where he concentrates on criminal defense and DUI cases.
