If confirmed, E. Martin Estrada would helm the most populous U.S. attorney's district in the country, covering some 20 million people across seven counties.
President Biden nominated E. Martin Estrada on Monday to serve as the next U.S. attorney for the Central District of California.
As a prosecutor, Estrada’s cases included one against leaders of the Armenian Power criminal syndicate and another against a federal court clerk caught leaking documents. In private practice, he has represented companies and business leaders in “business disputes, product liability, technology matters, and government investigations,” according to his firm.
Estrada has also handled immigration and education cases, including one in which he successfully argued that the state of New Mexico was providing insufficient education to students, including Latino and Native American students. Estrada worked as an associate at Munger Tolles from 2004 to 2007, and as an assistant U.S. attorney in the federal prosecutor’s office from 2007 to 2014, when he returned to Munger Tolles.
U.S. attorneys are political appointees who are expected to apply the law and pursue justice without partisan favor, but also to carry out initiatives set forth by the Justice Department.
