What Is Criminal Defense in California?
Criminal defense refers to the legal strategies and representation provided to individuals accused of crimes, ranging from misdemeanors to serious felonies. Our attorneys advocate for clients throughout all stages, including investigation, arrest, arraignment, pre-trial motions, trial, sentencing, and appeals.
Common Criminal Charges We Defend
Our team has extensive experience defending a wide range of charges, including:
- Sex crimes (sexual assault, molestation, rape)
- Drug offenses (possession, trafficking, manufacturing)
- Violent crimes (assault, domestic violence, homicide)
- Theft and property crimes (burglary, robbery, vandalism)
- White-collar crimes (fraud, embezzlement, identity theft)
- DUI and traffic violations
Your Rights Under California Law
Every defendant has constitutional rights that must be upheld during criminal proceedings. These include the right to:
- Remain silent: You are not required to incriminate yourself.
- Legal counsel: The right to an attorney, and if you cannot afford one, the court will appoint a public defender.
- Fair trial: Including a jury of your peers and the right to confront witnesses.
- Due process: Proper legal procedures must be followed.
How Criminal Defense Lawyers Build Your Case
Our defense team thoroughly investigates the circumstances surrounding your charges. We gather evidence, interview witnesses, review police reports, and consult experts. This comprehensive approach helps us identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case and build strong defenses such as:
- Challenging the legality of searches and seizures
- Questioning the reliability of witness testimony
- Presenting alibi or alternative suspect evidence
- Negotiating reduced charges or plea bargains
Why Timely Legal Representation Matters
The earlier you get legal help after an arrest or accusation, the better your chances of securing a favorable outcome. Early defense can prevent self-incrimination, preserve evidence, and help avoid unnecessary jail time.
