“Prosecutor Abby Baron has received praise not just from police and crime victims’ advocates but also from defense attorneys, who cite her fairness and desire for a just result rather than a conviction at all costs.”
– Los Angeles Times Endorsement
Ms. Baron is a child molestation prosecutor for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. She successfully prosecuted hundreds of cases involving the sexual abuse of children, homicide, rape, family violence, elder abuse, and stalking.
In her 14-year career for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Ms. Baron has been recognized by her peers, supervisors, and the media for her empathy, victim advocacy, and public service.
Ms. Baron’s commitment to the people of Los Angeles County – as well as her strong principles of justice and advocacy – fueled her decision to run for office. As a Superior Court Judge in Los Angeles County, Ms. Baron will continue to represent people fairly, ethically, and with compassion.
In an office known for complex prosecutions, Ms. Baron stands out for her achievement in People v. Sanchez, a case in which a man molested eight girls throughout California. Ms. Baron secured justice for the unspeakable acts that spanned almost 30 years, and rightfully earned the honor of Deputy District Attorney of the Month from the Los Angeles County Association of Deputy District Attorneys.
Community Involvement
Ms. Baron regularly volunteers her time in community service, such as her involvement with Project LEAD and Crime Survivors.
In Project LEAD (Legal Enrichment and Decision Making), Ms. Baron spends time each week with fifth-graders throughout their school year. She teaches students practical skills for conflict resolution and fosters lifelong respect for education.
Ms. Baron is a Council Member for Crime Survivors. She assists this organization in helping those who have been victimized and need resources so they can find safety and healing.
Ms. Baron volunteered her time with the Howard League for Penal Reform in Hackney, London, England. While working with this non-profit organization, Ms. Baron spent time in Coldingly Prison with inmates who were taught graphic design skills and were paid a market wage. When the prisoners finished their term, they possessed a free-lance skill and the money they had earned to help them begin their new careers. While with the Howard League for Penal Reform, Ms. Baron also helped fight for women’s and children’s rights and representation in the British legal system.

Sandy K. Roxas, Esq., Roxas Law, APC
People v. Benjamin Ramierez
In 2018, my client was shot to death by her estranged husband after being served with divorce papers. This is every family lawyer’s nightmare, but for me, my client, and our community, it became reality. Thankfully, Abby was the prosecutor in charge of bringing justice for my murdered client, her family, and the community. Abby was compassionate, patient, fair, and professional throughout the entire process. She possesses an unmatched ability to connect with anyone. Throughout the trial, she kept a calm demeanor, even temperament, and was always respectful to the court, the witnesses, and the defendant. Without a doubt, Abby has the qualities of a judge that we need on the bench.
Judge Tammy Chung Ryu
[Ms. Baron has the] extraordinary ability to make everyone around her feel respected and comfortable. [She is able] to encourage and empower victims of traumatic child abuse to testify… with courage and openness. She possesses this unique character and skill, which I have not seen in any other attorney in my almost twenty years on the bench.
