You need an experienced federal defense attorney who will stand beside you and protect your rights — with the tenacity the moment demands and the compassion you deserve.
I concentrate on a few areas of federal law so I can bring deep experience — and personal commitment — to every client in the Southern District of California.
From fraud and money laundering to drug and conspiracy charges, I defend people facing federal prosecution in the Southern District of California.

I’m Artemis Spyridonidis. For more than fifteen years, I’ve stood beside people facing the full weight of the federal government — and I built my practice on a simple belief: everyone deserves a fierce advocate and to be treated with dignity, no matter what they’re accused of.
When you work with me, you work with me — not a rotating team of associates. I’ll know your case, return your calls, and fight for the best result the facts allow. The stakes are personal to you, so they’re personal to me.
“Artemis is talented, dedicated, smart, and caring—all of which is hard to find in a paid attorney. Those unfortunate people who are assigned a public attorney should consider themselves extremely lucky when Artemis takes their case.”
“We were overwhelmed, so we turned to Artemis for help. Smart, caring, and a crystal-clear communicator—she's a fantastic lawyer we highly recommend.”
“I messed up and got into bigger trouble than I ever thought possible, and I've never been more afraid. Artemis was there—calm, careful, honest, and kind without sugar-coating the very real situation I'd gotten into. She kept me informed and my expectations realistic, and fought for the best outcome possible; I spent far less time in prison than I could have. A few years after my release, I've put my life back together—50/50 custody with my kids, stable housing and work—in large part because of everything she did. If you've messed up, are ready to own it, and want someone who will truly fight for you, Artemis is that person.”
