The Betrayal of Shohei Ohtani Podcast

When The Stakes are Highest, You Want Someone Who Stays Calm

I'm Diane Bass. For more than 25 years I've defended people facing serious federal and white-collar charges, including one of the most talked-about cases in the country. 

You've probably heard about the Shohei Ohtani case. I represented Mathew Bowyer through all of it, from the morning federal agents showed up at the door to the day of sentencing. It made headlines around the world, and reporters from CNN, ESPN, the LA Times and others asked me to explain what was really going on.

I'm telling you this for one reason. When your name, your freedom, or your future is on the line, you want a defense attorney who doesn't flinch when things get loud. That's the work I've done for over two decades.
