Nina Marino
This week Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, interviews her guest, Certified Special in Criminal Law, Nina Marino about litigation and white collar crime, building an international practice, and tips and strategies.
In this episode, we discuss:
Nina’s complex litigation and white-collar crime practice is national and international. She negotiates with the U.S. Department of Justice, state attorneys general, District Attorneys, and Interpol in her defense of individuals alleged to be involved with Medicare fraud, Foreign Corrupt Practice Act violations and tax, cyber and other crimes.
Personal Commitment to Clients
and Non-Traditional Approaches
Quite simply, Nina likes to save people. Right
from the start, clients understand that Nina takes their cases as
personally as they do.
Her
presentations before U.S. Attorneys introduce new perspectives,
compelling context and workable paths to
resolution.
Nina’s unconventional combination of caring,
integrity and formidable lawyering has earned her a national
reputation and recognition. She discovers the shades of gray behind
prosecutors’ black-and-white arguments to shine new light on her
clients’ circumstances. Her team-driven, meticulously prepared
strategies have repeatedly helped clients reach their objectives —
from staying out of prison to defending allegations all the way to
trial.
Advancing
Criminal Defense Law
A
prominent member of the criminal defense bar, Nina was recognized
for more than 25 years of professional excellence as the recipient
of the American Bar Association’s 2017 Charles English Award, the
highest national award for work in the field of criminal
justice.
Nina holds leadership roles on
several ABA committees, including as a board member of the Criminal
Justice Section Committee and as founder of the Women in
White-Collar Subcommittee. In addition, Nina served as the
Appointed Chair of the Ninth Circuit Lawyer Representatives,
Central District of California.
A
frequent media commentator, author and speaker, Nina has steered
the conversation at numerous national and international conferences
on white-collar crime and fraud. Her presentation topics range from
international criminal investigations and public corruption to
unconscious bias in expert testimony and regulatory issues related
to virtual currencies.
Legal and Civic Leadership
Nina
has championed women’s issues for more than two decades. She has
helped change the gender composition of the ABA’s educational
programming and spoken at the Los Angeles Business Journal’s
Women’s Summit. At the Los Angeles Daily Journal’s Women Leadership
in the Law series, Nina interviewed Eileen Decker, president of the
Los Angeles Police Commission.
Nina
is the founder of the Criminal Law Section of the Women Lawyers
Association of Los Angeles (WLALA) and of the Los Angeles chapter
of the Women White-Collar Defense Association (WWCDA). In addition,
Nina serves on the board of directors of C5LA, which focuses on
creating a path to college for underserved
youth.
The
Los Angeles Daily Journal and Los Angeles Business Journal have
repeatedly recognized Nina for her influence and impact on the
legal profession, and she is included among Best Lawyers’ top
practitioners in white-collar criminal defense.
In
2020, the Daily Journal recognized Ms. Marino as one of the top
white collar lawyers in California. Nina was named with 27 other
practitioners and only 5 other women statewide. Also in 2020 Nina
was recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal as a Leader in
the Law and a Top Woman Attorney, by the California Lawyers
Association for Excellence in Practice, and International Advisory
Expert recognized Nina as an expert in white collar crime.
Since 2004, Ms. Marino has been voted by her peers as a Southern
