When You Have A Problem, We Are The Solution.

                     The Oxton Law Philosophy & Practice

At Oxton Law, Attorney J’Aimèe L. Oxton and her legal team are guided by a clear set of principles that shape every client relationship and every case they handle:  

• Sound Counsel
• Compassionate Guidance 
• Honesty 
• Fierce Advocacy

SOUND COUNSEL:  In criminal defense, divorce, and other family law matters—where the outcome can impact a client’s freedom, family, finances, and future—sound counsel is essential. Attorney J'Aimèe Oxton and her legal team provide clear, honest legal advice so clients can make informed decisions at every stage of their case. Legal strategy is grounded in experience, sound judgment, and a deep understanding of Santa Barbara County courts, not guesswork, legal jargon, or courtroom theatrics. Clients of Oxton Law can expect consistent communication and direct access to their attorneys and their legal team throughout their representation, not silence after being hired. 

COMPASSIONATE GUIDANCE: Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her team at Oxton Law approaches every case with discretion, respect, and sensitivity, recognizing the importance of protecting a client’s privacy, reputation, and emotional well-being. Generally, lawyers who are constantly in the news are there for their own publicity. Rather than seeking attention or publicity, Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her team focus on providing steady support and careful guidance, ensuring clients feel heard, respected, and supported at every stage of their case. At Oxton Law, we believe that the less the public hears about your case, the better it is for you, our client.  You have our word on that.  

HONESTY: At Oxton Law, clients can expect straightforward, honest communication at every stage of their case. Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her legal team do not solicit clients or make unrealistic promises. Instead, our firm is dedicated to assisting individuals and families facing the turmoil, uncertainty, and challenges of pending litigation by providing clear, honest advice and realistic expectations so clients can make informed decisions with confidence.

FIERCE ADVOCACY:  Fierce advocacy at Oxton Law means protecting clients’ rights, interests, and futures with strategic, zealous, determined representation. Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her legal team are committed to pursuing the strongest possible outcome in misdemeanor and felony criminal defense, divorce, child custody, and other family law matters. While no specific result can ever be guaranteed, Oxton Law works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome for each client through unwavering preparation and fierce advocacy, so their clients can navigate these difficult life events clearly and confidently. 

Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton understands that many of the most successful outcomes in criminal, family, and juvenile cases are made possible through well-earned professional relationships with other lawyers, prosecutors, law enforcement, experts, court staff, and judges involved in a case. By limiting the firm’s practice to Santa Barbara County Superior Courts, Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her legal team bring deep local knowledge and well-established relationships that often play a critical role in effective negotiation and the ultimate outcome of litigation. 

While always seeking efficient and favorable resolutions, when appropriate, Attorney J’Aimèe Oxton and her team are fully prepared to take a case to trial and advocate aggressively when doing so best serves the client’s best interests.  

Though her first preference is to always try and avoid a long, drawn out trial, Attorney J'Aimèe Oxton is a fierce and relentless opponent in a court of law, and she will not hesitate taking a case to trial when it best serves her clients.
