He personally designed all our litigation systems and he manages each case by coordinating with your case manager and your associate trial attorney to ensure that you have the best chance of winning in court. Tait is recognized as the nation’s leading legal expert in criminal litigation involving automated enforcement systems like red light camera and photo radar. He gained national notoriety in 2001 for his litigation success against illegal red light camera programs in Southern California. Tait has extensive criminal traffic ticket trial experience and an extremely high success rate; since the late 1990’s Tait personally litigated and won hundreds of criminal traffic trials.

Apart from teaching self defense courses to hundreds of people, he also teaches attorneys how to defend people in criminal traffic cases. He taught criminal adjudication to judges and commissioners in both California and Texas. For his unusual success, Tait has been featured on the Today Show and the cover of San Diego Lawyer magazine, in addition to many other national news broadcasts and publications.

Before earning his law degree from the University of San Diego School of Law, Tait clerked as an extern for a U.S. District Court judge and the San Diego County Public Defender's Office. He earned his undergraduate degree in journalism from the University of Florida where he concentrated his studies on the criminal justice system before working with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice. Tait is an Eagle Scout, a published writer and a member of the California Public Defender’s Association.
