A native Spanish speaker originally from Bogota, Colombia, Fog specializes in capital punishment litigation with deep expertise in Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, and Criminal Justice systems. Her practice focuses on post-conviction representation for Spanish-speaking immigrant clients facing execution, requiring extensive courtroom experience including evidentiary hearings and arguments before the California Supreme Court. This niche specialization bridges academic legal theory with high-stakes clinical practice in death penalty defense.
