Defending the Wrongfully Accused – High-Profile Cases
Exonerating an Innocent Man – The Efren Cruz Case
In one of Ventura County's most shocking wrongful conviction cases, Philip Remington Dunn played a key role in securing freedom for Efren Cruz, a man who was wrongly convicted of murder and sentenced to 41 years to life in prison.

Through legal expertise, diplomatic efforts, and a strong defense strategy, Dunn was instrumental in securing the Marine's return to the United States, preventing what could have been a devastating sentence.
