Mohammad Abuershaid is an American attorney based in Orange County, California. A former Orange County deputy public defender, he is the founding partner of the law firm ALL Trial Lawyers and has been involved in several matters that received news coverage, including the representation of a relative of the perpetrators in the 2015 San Bernardino attack and a defamation lawsuit against Orange County.[1][2]
Career
editAbuershaid earned his Juris Doctor from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School in 2014 and was admitted to the State Bar of California the same year.[3] He began his legal career as a deputy public defender in Orange County before entering private practice.[4] He is the founding partner of ALL Trial Lawyers, an Orange-based firm whose practice includes criminal defense and juvenile dependency matters.[2]
Notable matters
editSan Bernardino attack representation
editFollowing the December 2015 San Bernardino attack, Abuershaid was one of two attorneys who represented the family of perpetrator Syed Rizwan Farook.[1] He spoke to news media about the family, describing the home life of Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik and stating that there was no indication the couple held extremist views.[1][5]
Defamation lawsuit against Orange County
editBeginning in 2021, Abuershaid pursued a legal claim and subsequent lawsuit against Orange County, alleging that Gary LoGalbo, a former senior official in the Orange County District Attorney's Office, had repeatedly referred to him as a "terrorist" while LoGalbo discussed cases Abuershaid was handling as a public defender.[4][2] The matter drew further attention in 2022 when Orange County Superior Court Judge Derek W. Hunt recused himself from the case after making remarks that Abuershaid's attorney characterized as biased.[6] In 2026, the Los Angeles Times reported that his racial harassment claim remained pending after the county settled related sexual harassment lawsuits.[7]
Anaheim jewelry store case
editIn July 2025, Abuershaid represented the owner of Al-Amira Jewelry in Anaheim after the owner fired a warning shot to deter an attempted smash-and-grab robbery. Speaking to news outlets, Abuershaid said his client had acted in self-defense.[8]
