Phil Schnayerson

Phil Schnayerson is a longtime criminal defense attorney with decades of experience practicing law in Alameda County. He started his career as a public defender in the late 1960s and later moved into private practice, where he has represented a wide range of clients, including high-profile cases. One of his most notable cases was defending the punk rock band Dead Kennedys in the 1980s, a trial that has now been turned into a play. Over the years, he has handled cases involving everything from prison crimes to major appeals and has built a reputation as a dedicated and respected advocate in the courtroom. In this episode, Phil shares fascinating stories from his career, discusses the changes he has seen in the legal field, and talks about the unique dynamics of criminal law. He also reflects on what keeps him motivated after so many years in the profession. Tune in to hear about Phil’s journey, his take on the justice system, and what he believes young lawyers should keep in mind when entering the field.
