Questions
Do I need a lawyer if I plan to plead guilty?
Yes. Even with intent to plead guilty, an attorney can negotiate better terms, challenge evidence, and minimize penalties. We've reduced charges and secured probation instead of prison sentences through strategic plea bargaining.
What's the difference between felony and misdemeanor charges?
Misdemeanors carry maximum 1-year jail time while felonies involve longer sentences and 'three strikes' consequences. Our attorneys have successfully reduced felonies to misdemeanors and minimized penalties for both charge types.
Can I get my criminal record sealed?
Yes. We help clients expunge arrests and convictions through legal processes that restore rights. This includes Proposition 47/64 petitions for old drug offenses and juvenile record sealing to improve employment opportunities.
How quickly can you resolve my case?
We prioritize urgent matters with 24/7 availability. While timelines vary, our track record shows we often resolve cases faster through early negotiations, with some dismissals achieved before court appearances.
What makes your firm different from other criminal defense attorneys?
Our exclusive focus on criminal defense, former prosecutor experience, and proven results set us apart. We combine aggressive courtroom advocacy with personalized strategies, maintaining direct attorney communication throughout the process.
