The months of November and December have seen quite a few celebrities in need of a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, or at least a new one. Rappers, actors and singers are facing increased scrutiny from the courts and jail time is being handed out like gift bags at the Oscars. Here is a list of celebrities who are in desperate need of a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney.

Ja Rule, both a popular rapper and a movie star, pled guilty to a felony weapons charge in New York this month. The judge in the case guaranteed that he will be sentenced to two years in jail. The charges Ja Rule faced included attempted criminal possession of a weapon which stems from a traffic stop in July 2007. Police found a semiautomic gun in his sports car. A sentencing date has not been set, and no comments have been given by his Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney.

Wesley Snipes, an actor with almost 30 years of top billing was sent to jail recently and denied the opportunity to get out at Christmas. He is facing a three year prison sentence for tax evasion. he surrendered himself to the minimum security Federal Prison Camp in Bradford, Pennsylvania. He had been fighting the sentence for years, even suing the financial advisors who gave him the advice he said led to his arrest. His Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney has also been working hard to get the authorities to ease up on the sentence, but to no avail.

Celebrity Chef Juan-Carlos Cruz was sent to jail for nine years for allegedly trying to hire two homeless men to kill his wife. This story was reported previously on this blog. It was first thought that because Jennifer Campbell, Cruz's wife, was suicidal over not being able to have a baby, he hired the men so that she wouldn't go to hell according to their religion. However, there have been no further comments on this particular charge.
