Jack Gordon

Attorney at Law           jackgordonesq@gmail.com          Age:  63

I have spent my entire professional career in the local criminal justice field becoming a practicing attorney in 1993 and am known as one of the most respected attorneys in the Bay Area. In my law practice I have effectively handled over 1,000 juvenile cases and over 1,500 adult criminal cases, including 25 cases involving representation of individuals charged with murder. I have also served as an Instructor at San Jose State University’s Institute of Criminal Investigations and on the Santa Clara County Arbitration Panel. I was appointed for multiple terms by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors as a Civil Service Commissioner for over ten years, including serving as Chair.

Prior to my law practice, I served as a law enforcement officer for the City of San Jose and the County of Santa Cruz for sixteen years.  I was elected President of the Deputy Sheriff’s Association, co-authored California State Sheriff’s Association Statutory Duties and Authorities Manual (1988-1989), served as Team Leader for the Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), and worked on special assignment with both the Homicide Task Force and Rape Task Force. I earned my B.A. in History from San Jose State University and completed my Juris Doctorate degree from Santa Clara University.
