Attorney
Huntington Beach, California, 92647
Bart Kaspero handles complex matters on behalf of his clients involved in sensitive occupations, emerging markets and regulated industries. His experience spans over unique cases and backgrounds including navigating customs/imports, distributed ledger tech, cannabis licensing, international trade compliance, criminal record privacy, white-collar defense, civil rights, and data governance liability.
After a decade of litigating serious criminal charges, Bart Kaspero’s journey into technology and international legal issues is far from traditional—and something he finds to be an advantage for his clients.
Graduating from UCI with honors with a Bachelors in Clinical Psychology, Kaspero postponed law school so that he can gain experience in finance when he accepted an offer from E*Trade. After leaving the company, he began his legal education at Chapman School of Law in Orange County, CA.
At Chapman Law, Kaspero became a member of the Moot Court honors board and took specialized courses in corporations and agency law. He clerked for the Hon. Judge Ngo T. Nguyen (ret.) in the West Justice Center for the California Superior Court where he researched contractual disputes, commercial violations, and multi-party jury trials. He also interned with the City Attorney’s office for the City of Newport Beach where he obtained trademark and copyright certifications for the city and was responsible for researching First Amendment matters related to online Internet privacy policies. There, he learned the important facets of intellectual property law as it pertains to public agencies as well as private enterprises.
Kaspero also managed a consulting firm where he represented minority-owned businesses in obtaining commercial licenses and public entitlement projects. He worked on projects ranging from: entertainment licenses, city zoning amendments, CUP’s, general plan amendments, building code violations, Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) licensing, and other unique regulatory hurdles faced by businesses.
In 2006, he began his litigation career as a California state-appointed lawyer with the County of Riverside where he litigated both mid-level and serious felony cases to verdict. His high volume of jury trials resulted in full acquittals and hung verdicts for the clients he represented. After leaving the County, he founded his own private practice in Orange County, CA.
