CESAR M. DULANTO

Principal & Founder

Cesar M. Dulanto, a UCLA Law graduate who practiced at an elite international law firm for almost a decade and served as a judicial extern to two U.S. District Court judges, founded Dulanto Law to bring large-firm excellence, preparation, and advocacy to individuals and small business owners throughout San Diego and Southern California.

An immigrant who fled his birth country as a political refugee at just nine years old, Cesar grew up watching his parents rebuild their lives—his father delivering pizzas and his mother working as a maid. Through hard work and perseverance, he defied the odds, earning both his undergraduate and law degrees from UCLA and later training alongside world-class attorneys at one of the nation’s most prestigious firms. Today, Cesar brings that same grit, discipline, and sense of purpose to his law practice—fighting tirelessly for his clients with the same determination that has guided him his entire life.

As a bilingual attorney (English and Spanish), Cesar ensures that every client is heard and understood. His elite international firm training and judicial experience have provided him with invaluable insight into courtroom strategy and judicial decision-making. Whether you need representation in criminal defense, personal injury, or civil litigation, Dulanto Law delivers strategic, results-driven advocacy you can trust.

When your rights, reputation, or future are on the line, you deserve elite representation. Contact Dulanto Law today to schedule a free consultation.
