Fighting For Your Rights in Los Angeles

We pride ourselves on providing personalized service to each and every client we serve. We take your legal issues very seriously and we fight aggressively to see that your rights are protected.

Our experience and knowledge of the law allows us to work efficiently and effectively on your behalf to resolve your case. Your decision on which criminal defense lawyer to retain can have a direct impact on your personal and professional life.

We focus exclusively on criminal defense and will not just simply seek to negotiate a plea bargain, which means you would have to enter a “guilty” or “no content” plea to the court.

If you are convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, you could be facing serious collateral consequences, such as deportation, or loss of a professional license.

Our criminal defense lawyers will guide you through every step of the complex criminal justice system, including seeking a bail reduction to be released from jail. It's important to understand the difference between a California arrest warrant and a search warrant.

We can also help you reduce a felony conviction to a misdemeanor, motion to withdraw a plea, and file a motion for factual innocence.  Call our law office to discuss your particular case and options with our lawyers.

Law Firm Dedicated Exclusively to Criminal Defense

Our law firm will fight aggressively to see that our clients are protected at every stage of the investigation process.

We will fully investigate every aspect of your case to ensure that your constitutional rights were not violated at any time. If you have been charged with a California crime, there are a wide range of common defenses to fight the case and avoid a conviction, but of course will all depend on the specific details and circumstances of the case.

We work with a broad network of skilled professionals to review evidence and ensure that everything was handled properly.

As necessary, our law firm will challenge any evidence obtained outside of the proper protocols, enabling us to provide you with a strong and effective defense.

During this difficult time, it is critical that you retain a highly qualified defense lawyer that has a thorough understanding of the Los Angeles County criminal court system.

Every case is unique and the details of your arrest and evidence against you must be thoroughly examined by a lawyer in order to build an effective legal defense.

After an arrest for criminal case in Los Angeles, your first appearance in court is almost an arraignment, where you will be told of the criminal charges against you and asked to enter a plea, followed by a preliminary hearing.
