Matthew Tag has extensive experience as a criminal prosecutor.

Lead attorney, Matthew A. Tag, is one of the most sought-after defense attorneys in California and has extensive knowledge of California’s controversial Gun Violence Restraining Order (“GVRO”) process as well as criminal law and procedure. Mr. Tag worked for the San Diego County District Attorney’s Office, Solano County District Attorney’s Office, and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office where he clerked before graduating from Loyola Law School, Los Angeles. This foundation gives Mr. Tag invaluable insight that will be applied to your defense.

Mr. Tag’s prior experience as a prosecutor in Southern and Northern California has provided him with diverse and unparalleled insight into prosecutors’ offices across the state. Moreover, Mr. Tag’s prosecution experience has given him inside knowledge that most defense attorneys simply do not hold. This advantage will become your advantage should you put your trust in Mr. Tag and retain his services. This inside information goes beyond the prosecutor’s office and applies to the investigative agencies whom Mr. Tag once trained including police departments, sheriff’s departments, the California Department of Justice (“DOJ”) Bureau of Firearms, Child Protective Services (“CPS”), and federal agencies, including, but not limited to, the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”), Federal Bureau of Investigations (“FBI”), Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”), United States Postal Inspection Service, and the United States Border Patrol (“USBP”).

With Mr. Tag on your side, you will benefit from inside knowledge of the methods and techniques used by law enforcement to investigate and further develop the case they continue to try to build against you or your loved one. This diverse background places Mr. Tag in a unique position that allows him to see both sides of a case and provides a significant advantage to his clients.

With over two decades of legal experience, Mr. Tag provides unparalleled defense for client’s facing the loss of their right to possess a firearm through California’s GVRO process, also known as, California’s “Red Flag Law,” and any client facing criminal charges.

The GVRO and criminal defense services delivered by Mr. Tag are always of the highest quality. Mr. Tag customizes each client’s defense to fit the unique facts and circumstances of their particular case as no client’s situation is ever the same. This attention to the details of your case is guaranteed because Mr. Tag handles each client’s matter personally from start to finish. This is unlike many other attorneys who will low-ball their “fee” in order to get a client to retain them and then turn around and outsource or delegate the case to a junior associate or paralegal. This business model is not about providing high caliber legal services and is a great disservice to those who fall victim to such marketing traps as they do not receive the quality of legal representation for which they pay. Mr. Tag does not practice law in this manner. Once Mr. Tag’s services are retained, you or your loved one’s case will be personally handled by Mr. Tag to ensure that only the highest quality of legal services are delivered.

Being charged with a crime, or facing a GVRO petition with its prospect of having to relinquish your firearms, is a very stressful and challenging situation. However, with Mr. Tag on your side, you can count on him every step of the way. For Mr. Tag there is no higher duty than protecting his client’s rights against a prosecutor who may be more interested in the politics surrounding a case or getting another “notch” on their belt, rather than what is just and right. Over the past 20 years, Mr. Tag has seen it all and can apply that unparalleled experience to deliver a strategic and persuasive defense for you or your loved one.

Known for his tenacity, Mr. Tag’s impressive track record of success corroborates his skill as an advocate and his effectiveness in defending his clients. Mr. Tag is driven to produce results for his clients and will fight vigorously to have his clients’ charges reduced or dismissed entirely. His preparation and performance in the courtroom speak volumes to the concern, dedication, and passion he has for his clients in their time of need.

Mr. Tag is licensed to practice law in all juvenile and adult courts in California and all California federal courts, including the Southern District of California, Central District of California, Eastern District of California and the Northern District of California.


Mr. Tag offers you a defense tailored to meet your individual needs and he will give you all the individual time and attention that you need, want, and deserve.

If you or someone you know is facing a GVRO petition or criminal charges, do not wait to contact the attorney who can help.
