Daniel P. Flores operates The Law Office of Daniel P. Flores at 1050 Lakes Dr. Ste. 225, West Covina, CA 91790, serving El Monte and surrounding areas.

Griffin Legal Defense, located in the historic Cort Tower building at 343 E Main St #314, Stockton, CA 95202, provides specialized DUI/DWI defense services throughout California.
