Licensed Private Investigator On-Site

A strong defense begins with the facts. Our Los Angeles Criminal Defense lawyers work with a premier licensed private investigator.

We don't rely on police investigations - we get the facts ourselves and we can start investigating your case immediately. Pre-Filing Intervention has led to numerous successful results before the case reached the courtroom.

It is a well-known fact that witnesses can be swayed or intimidated by the police, and our ability to get recorded statements or physical evidence early in an investigation can prevent that from happening. Witnesses often lose their memory or change their position, so memorializing their statements early is imperative to a successful defense.

Local Criminal Defense Specialists

Our law office is located across the street from the Van Nuys Courthouse, the police station, and the prosecutor's office. We also have a law office in Los Angeles, ensuring that early intervention> in your case can begin immediately. An aggressive defense can sometimes mean your case is rejected, dismissed, or filed as a misdemeanor rather than a felony.

Recent Courtroom Victories in Los Angles County Criminal Courts

Over our decades of criminal law practice, an experienced Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer form our law firm has secured great case results for our clients through aggressive legal representation and pre-filing intervention.

Our top-ranked criminal defense law firm in Los Angeles routinely achieves outstanding case results for clients who were facing misdemeanor or felony cases in state, federal and even juvenile courthouses.

As former prosecutors, our lawyers have a full understanding on how the criminal justice system works. Our criminal attorneys have developed effective courtroom defense strategies and understand that every case has its own unique set of facts, evidence, and circumstances. Below are a few examples of our Los Angeles courtroom victories by our skilled criminal lawyers:

Felony Case Dropped After Pre-Filing Intervention – Los Angeles Superior Court:

Defense witness statements and physical evidence are critical to successfully defending a criminal case, especially at the pre-filing stage.

In a recent matter, our Los Angeles criminal defense law firm prevented felony charges being filed against a client following his felony arrest for assaulting tow truck driver who was attempting to repossess their vehicle.

Despite the use of a deadly weapon in the incident and a prior felony conviction, the arrest and charges were dropped due to our presentation of defense evidence to the prosecutor that established the tow company was not operating with a valid license.

Also, the “repo” men disturbed the client's family in the middle of the night and provided no paperwork to explain their presence, the client had been current on making payments on the car, and that the alleged victims had actually been the aggressors in the ensuing physical confrontation. Our client has now been completely exonerated.

Teenagers Arrested for Burglary No Formal Juvenile Charges – Los Angeles Juvenile Court:

In juvenile cases, the emphasis is on rehabilitation rather than punishment. Unlike adult court, in which cases are adjudicated through the formal criminal process after the filing of criminal charges, juvenile cases provide another avenue for resolution before court: informal supervision through the probation department.

Recently our juvenile clients were arrested for breaking into vehicles, theft, and being intoxicated.

Successful intervention by our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers with law enforcement and the probation department by providing character letters, grades, work history, and making full restitution to the car's owners.

The intervention secured an informal resolution, allowing them access to rehabilitative services such as counseling while preventing formal criminal charges being filed against them in juvenile court. Their records will remain clean improving the odds of getting into the best colleges and reaching their professional goals.

TMZ Video Case – From $2M Bail to Probation and Community Work – Los Angeles Superior Court:

The Los Angeles County District Attorney indicted our client for numerous charges related to a scheme to sell a video of her fiancé Suge Knight running over two men in a parking lot to TMZ for $55,000.

This video evidence was subject to a protective order issued by the trial judge in the Knight case. In their investigation, officers found that our client exchanged texts with TMZ over the sale of the video knowing there was a protective order.

The initial bail requested by the prosecutor was over $2 Million, which our Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys argued was excessive and unconstitutional. After bail was significantly reduced by the judge, our law firm filed motions to dismiss the case.

Eventually our criminal lawyers worked out a plea agreement releasing our client from custody, and placing her on probation. As part of the agreement, the district attorney's office dropped two other charges against her, including conspiracy to obstruct justice and conspiracy to commit grand theft.

Our client had been facing up to three years behind bars. She has now been released, is back with her family, and can petition the court for a misdemeanor and expungement in the future.

California's Proposition 47

November 2014 - California voted into effect this important measure to reduce

crimes that were previously felonies to misdemeanors. It permits all those who have been convicted, including those who have already served their sentence, to have their offense deemed a misdemeanor under the new Penal Code section 1170.18.

If you are unsure whether or not you qualify for the reduction, find out more information on our California Proposition 47 page.
