With more than two decades of experience in civil and criminal law, he has built a reputation as a relentless litigator and trusted voice in the legal community, appearing as a commentator on CNN, Fox News, BBC, and other major networks. After graduating from UCLA, he earned his law degree from Harvard Law School at age 22, becoming one of the youngest graduates in the school's history. He began his career at O'Melveny and Myers, representing clients such as Disney, Marriott, and the Roman Catholic Church, before joining the U.S. Department of Justice, where he prosecuted drug and human trafficking cases and captured more than a thousand criminal defendants, including a fugitive murderer featured on America's Most Wanted.

Driven by a mission to fight for injury victims, Neama co-founded West Coast Trial Lawyers alongside Allen Patatanyan in 2014. The firm has grown to over 20 attorneys and 200 staff, and has recovered nearly $2 billion for clients in cases ranging from car and truck accidents to catastrophic injury and wrongful death. Licensed in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Washington, Neama also serves on the UCLA Political Science Board of Advisors and authored the memoir Harvard to Hashtag, with proceeds benefiting a nonprofit defending foster children.
