Fighting For Your Rights in Los Angeles
We pride ourselves on providing personalized service to each client. We take your legal issues very seriously and fight aggressively to ensure that your rights are protected.
Our experience and knowledge of the law allow 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 contest” plea to the court.
If you are convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude, you could face 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 aggressively fight to ensure 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 are 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 is 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.
Retain a Powerful Criminal Defense Lawyer
Our criminal attorneys understand that this can be one of the most devastating times in your life. Facing criminal charges can be frightening and overwhelming. Most individuals do not know the workings of the Los Angeles criminal justice system.
It would be best if you had a professional at a time like this that can answer your questions and keep you fully informed of the status of your case every step of the way.
Because our firm has extensive experience handling these types of cases, you can feel confident that you will have the strong legal counsel you need during this difficult time.
During this difficult time, you must retain a highly qualified defense lawyer who has a thorough understanding of the Los Angeles County criminal court system.
Every case is unique, and a lawyer must thoroughly examine the details of your arrest and the evidence against you in order to build an effective legal defense.
After an arrest for a criminal case in Los Angeles, your first appearance in court is almost always an arraignment. At this point, you will be told of the criminal charges against you and asked to enter a plea, followed by a preliminary hearing.
After the preliminary hearing, but before a case proceeds to trial, your criminal defense lawyer and prosecutor will appear in front of the judge and make their pre-trial motions.
If necessary, we are always prepared to take your case to trial to fight for a “not guilty” verdict. We will guide you through every step of the complex criminal justice system.
Any type of misdemeanor or felony criminal charges needs to be promptly addressed by a skilled lawyer who understands California law and the local Los Angeles County courts. No case is too big or too small.
Our experts have successfully helped people resolve their legal issues for decades. You can rest assured that you are important to us and that we will treat you with the respect you deserve. You may be eligible for alternative sentencing rather than spending time in jail.
