What does it actually take to defend someone in a Kern County courtroom? In this episode of Kern Case by Case, attorneys Matt Clark and Chris Hagan sit down with two of the most recognized names in Kern County criminal defense, David Torres and his daughter and law partner Alekxia Torres Stallings, for an honest conversation about the law, this community, and what it looks like to fight for someone when the stakes could not be higher. From David’s remarkable story of becoming one of California’s most decorated criminal defense attorneys, to Alekxia’s rise as Latina leader and recent appointment to the California Judicial Council, this episode is as much about Kern County as it is about the law.
