About

Okabe & Haushalter

Ryan T. Okabe and Mark J. Haushalter run a national criminal defense practice with offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and Chicago. The founding partners came from opposite sides of the criminal system: one from public defense and district-attorney work, the other from prosecution. That mixed background shapes how the firm handles misdemeanor, felony and federal cases from investigation through trial.

Okabe & Haushalter is a criminal defense firm led by Founding Partners Ryan T. Okabe and Mark J. Haushalter. Current first-party material states that the firm's founding partners have defended criminally accused clients since 2000. The practice maintains offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Manhattan Beach, Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and Chicago. Its San Francisco office is at 1934 Divisadero Street, #100. The firm handles DUI, assault, drug offenses, theft, homicide, sex crimes, white-collar matters, federal criminal defense, computer crime, weapons cases and other serious misdemeanor and felony charges. Its attorneys represent clients in negotiations, trials and state and federal proceedings. Okabe previously worked with a public defender's office and a district attorney's office, while Haushalter began his career as a prosecutor. That experience on different sides of the criminal system is a specific part of the firm's positioning. Both Okabe and Haushalter are identified on the current firm site as Founding Partners, and both are licensed in California. The firm's public case work includes complex and high-profile criminal matters receiving regional and national media attention.
