About
David Zarmi is an accomplished certified appellate specialist who has successfully handled hundreds of civil and criminal appeals and writ petitions in the United States Supreme Court, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal and U.S. and the California Supreme Court and Courts of Appeal.
Before entering private practice, where Zarmi represented major entertainment companies, government agencies, and high profile clients like Bill Gross and the Estate of Kirk Kerkorian, Zarmi spent eight representing the State of California as a Deputy Attorney General in the Court of Appeal and before the federal courts. He prosecuted cases for the State of California at the trial level. Zarmi has worked as a judicial attorney for California Court of Appeal where he assisted the justices in deciding writ petitions and authoring opinions and gained experience in the workings of the Court.
Prior to working as a Deputy Attorney General, Zarmi worked in the prestigious “coverage” section at the Los Angeles Superior Court, requiring an ability to draft opinions on all civil matters, for any given judge, any area of law, on any given day.
Zarmi obtained his law degree from the UCLA School of Law, where he graduated at the top of his class, and has been licensed to practice law since 2006.
