EXPERT PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

Peter F. Iocona began his legal career in 2000, handling primarily DUI Defense matters in Orange County, California, and throughout all Southern California for the Law Office of Barry T. Simons. Mr. Iocona finished his clerkship for the Law Office of Barry T. Simons in 2006.

Mr. Iocona has always been a firm believer that while all litigators are lawyers, not all lawyers are litigators. Mr. Iocona has also always been of the belief that trial lawyers obtain better results than lawyers who do not proceed to trial. After spending the better part of his early years learning of the art of being a trial lawyer, Mr. Iocona's successes as a trial lawyer led him to become the firm's Lead Trial Lawyers for matters involving driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and by 2009, he became the firm's Lead Trial Lawyer for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

In 2009, after gaining considerable success as a trial lawyer in driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs cases, Mr. Iocona expanded his practice areas to include general Criminal Defense and Professional Licensing Defense. In 2012, Mr. Iocona became the Managing Attorney of the Law Office of Barry T. Simons in addition to being the firm's Lead Trial Attorney in driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.

Since 2006, Mr. Iocona would go on to earn numerous awards and accolades, such as being named one of Orange County's "Top-Rated" DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys in 2014.

In 2014, Mr. Iocona was also awarded membership in the National Trial Lawyers Association and listed as one of the "Top 100 Trial Lawyers" in the country. The National Trial Lawyers: Top 100 is an "invitation-only" organization composed of the premier trial lawyers of each state in the nation who meet stringent qualifications as civil or criminal defense trial lawyers. Membership is extended to only a select few of the most qualified attorneys from each state in the country.

Mr. Iocona is also “Super Lawyers Rated” and was named a "Super Lawyers Rising Star" in 2015 and was again selected by Super Lawyers in 2016. The "Super Lawyers" and "Super Lawyers Rising Stars" lists are published nationwide in "Super Lawyers" magazines and other publications. While up to 5% of the lawyers in the State are named to "Super Lawyers", only 2.5% are named to the "Super Lawyers Rising Stars" list for "Super Lawyers", thus demonstrating the significance of this highly coveted award.

Since 2015, Mr. Iocona has been designated as a "Nationally Recognized Superior DUI Attorney" by the National Advocacy for DUI Defense (NAFDD), an invitation only organization that locates and validates the very best private DUI attorneys so clients can select the most qualified attorney for their Driving Under the Influence (DUI) case. NAFDD has identified the finest criminal defense attorneys in each state and then selected those who spend a significant portion of their practice representing individuals accused of DUI in order for that attorney to even be considered a "Superior DUI Attorney" by NAFDD. The Superior DUI Attorney badge identifies those whom NAFDD has designated as being one of the nation's Top DUI Attorneys and Mr. Iocona has been recognized by the NAFDD every year since 2015.

Mr. Iocona has also been selected for inclusion in the 2015 list of the "Nation’s Top One Percent", which is published by the National Association of Distinguished Counsel (NADC). Inclusion on this list of the Nation’s Top One Percent involves selection by a blue-ribbon panel of attorneys and extensive vetting by a research team. The list is highly exclusive, as only the top one percent of attorneys in the nation make the list, which makes Mr. Iocona’s inclusion such a high honor. According to the National Association of Distinguished Counsel “this elite class of advocates consists of the finest leaders of the legal profession from across the nation."

Mr. Iocona was rated "Lead Counsel" by Lawinfo and has received a Rating of "10.0 out of 10.0" ("Superb") by AVVO, an attorney rating service. Mr. Iocona has one of the highest jury trial success rates in holding the prosecution to its burden of proof, leading to numerous "Not Guilty" verdicts and mistrials resulting in either a dismissal or a reduction in charges.  

In 2016, Mr. Iocona left the Law Office of Barry T. Simons to form The SoCal Law Network with his two (2) partners, Alan Castillo and Marlo Cordero.
