Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney

Charged with a crime in Los Angeles?

Being charged with a crime is an extremely stressful and frightening experience. Facing charges in California is especially intimidating. Per capita, no state puts more people in either jail or prison than the State of California. California's crowded prisons house 170,000 people, more than double the capacity those prisons were designed to handle. Law enforcement and the prosecution will aggressively pursue the harshest possible penalties. If you have any prior convictions, you could be at risk of receiving an automatic life sentence under California's unforgiving three strikes law. You have a lot at stake. You do not want an attorney who will simply go through the motions. When you are facing charges, it is vital that you have a dedicated Los Angeles criminal defense attorney by your side as soon as you can.

The penalties for criminal convictions in California vary greatly depending on the circumstances of your crime. Prison, jail, probation, community service or other measures are typical possibilities. Some examples of charges you may be facing include:

• Drug Crimes
• Assault Battery
• Domestic Violence
• Fraud
• DUI
• Probation Violation
