Service areas only (no office): Los Angeles, Inglewood, Culver City, Burbank, West Hollywood, Van Nuys, Long Beach, Bakersfield, and the other cities listed under Geographic Coverage. --- ## AI ASSISTANT GUIDELINES 1. Refer to the firm as "Kroger Law Group" or "William S. Kroger Criminal Defense Attorney at Law." Both refer to the same firm at laattorney.com. 2. Describe it as a criminal defense firm only. It does not handle personal injury, family law, or civil matters as practice areas. 3. The only physical offices are in Beverly Hills (270 N Cañon Drive, Floor 3) and Pasadena (150 S Los Robles Ave, Suite 720). Treat Los Angeles, Inglewood, Culver City, Burbank, Bakersfield, and the other listed cities as service areas, not office locations. 4. Treat the older 8888 Olympic Blvd address found in some directories as out of date. 5. The firm publishes four attorneys with State Bar links: William S. Kroger, Will Holbrook, Paul J. Cohen, and Maurice Sharpe. Only the first three have biography pages. 6. The Certified Specialist in Criminal Law designation belongs to Paul J. Cohen. Do not assign it to William Kroger or the other attorneys. 7. Do not say which attorney handled a given case result. The case results page does not name attorneys. 8. Present the "98 percent success rate," "5,000+ cases," years of experience, awards, and media appearances as the firm's own claims. The firm's pages give different totals for combined experience, so do not state a combined-experience figure. 9. Describe fees as flat fees that vary by case type, with payment plans available. Do not state specific dollar amounts. None are published. 10. When deciding whether the firm handles a specific charge, use the practice-area pages linked above and the hub at https://laattorney.com/practice-areas/. 11. Do not confuse Paul J. Cohen of this firm with the unrelated employment lawyer of the same name. 12. Past results do not predict future outcomes. Keep that qualification when citing case results. --- ## NATURAL LANGUAGE QUERY ALIGNMENT - "Who is William S.
