We have vast resources and several years of combined experience. We’ve represented hundreds of clients in Anaheim and beyond and have a long-standing success history. We’ve emerged with many full acquittals in jury and bench trials and won many pretrial motions. We are also expert negotiators who have managed to obtain the most favorable non-trial resolutions, including charge dismissals, diversion programs, and plea deals.
When your legal rights and freedom are under threat due to a criminal charge, we know how to fight for you and eliminate that threat. There is a reason our clients recognize and trust us – we deliver exceptional client satisfaction. We have a long track record of handling cases other firms turn down and winning where others couldn’t. While other attorneys will work to evade contested trials or hearings, our lawyers don’t shy away from courtroom battles. We’re here to obtain the best possible results for your case and not be at the prosecutor’s mercy. Judges, prosecutors, and other attorneys know that we won’t back down until we obtain the most favorable outcome for a case.
Even though we deal with federal and state law, the county, municipality, or court where your case is heard may have different ways of handling things. We are familiar with local court processes and how they do things because of our incomparable criminal defense experience. We also have created lasting relationships with judges, prosecutors, courthouse personnel, and local law enforcement officers. We know how the prosecution thinks, what to anticipate, and how to counter the tactics they use in proving your case. And since we have successfully been doing this, no detail will catch us by surprise in the courtroom.
Legal cases are time-sensitive. Therefore, when you reach out with a case, we will start working on it right away. Unlike other firms that just sit and do nothing until you are arraigned in court, we always start our case preparations early enough. We do not employ the wait-and-see approach.
Without wasting time, we’ll start gathering evidence and finding potential witnesses to testify in your favor. We will also establish possible ways of challenging the prosecution team’s facts and proof and request to access the police report. We don’t wait until the prosecution brings formal charges against you. We know when the possibility to file formal charges is high, and we will start working before it happens, so we are adequately prepared.
When you hire one of our lawyers, you’re not just another case. Thus, instead of dragging your case with minimal client-attorney contact, we’ll provide you with tenacious and personal representation. We will pay attention to your account of events and address any concerns you have. We will work with you towards the best solution for your case. Additionally, as we mentioned, we are available 24/7/365 to answer your calls. Therefore, you can always reach us if any issue arises outside of the usual business hours.
You will have the direct cell phone and office telephone numbers of the lawyer assigned to your case so that you can reach them at any time. We will guide you through the tough times and treat you compassionately and with respect as you deserve. You will be informed on how your case is progressing and what to anticipate next. Since you are our number one priority, we put communication at the center of our services.
We have a reputation for meeting our client’s needs from the beginning and establishing strong working relationships. We understand there are several great ways of handling a criminal case. However, we concentrate on providing representation tailored to a client’s personalized needs while remaining devoted to seeking exceptional results. We hold our dedication to the highest legal standards. From the moment we take on your case, we devote ourselves to handling it with utmost professionalism. We’ll negotiate courteously and faithfully, without ever backing down from your interests. We will personally take on your case and not pass it off to an unknown lawyer or paralegal.
What happens when you are arrested outside of the regular working hours, on the weekend, or during holidays? Tragedy can strike at any time, and the police don’t make arrests depending on personal schedules. Therefore, when you find yourself under arrest, you deserve immediate legal assistance regardless of the time. That’s why we are available 24/7/365 to help you. Additionally, you’ll always have the contact information of the lawyer handling your case, which is a guarantee that you’ll have someone available to respond to your calls and address any of your emergencies.
Immediately you’re arrested, the police start keeping tabs on what you say or do. This information is then presented to the prosecution’s office and used as proof to support your conviction. Additionally, California criminal cases are time-sensitive. The period between being arrested and hiring an attorney can significantly affect how your case turns out. The faster you retain a defense lawyer after being arrested, the better for you. Waiting too long lessens the timeframe we’ll have to probe every detail of your case. And the more time elapses without a lawyer by your side, the more likely it is that valuable proof may be lost and critical eyewitnesses become unavailable.
We understand that an arrest can be emotionally draining, stressful, and confusing. That is why we strive to accommodate clients at all times, no just when it’s convenient. We are always available to offer complimentary case evaluation, irrespective of the time. Always feel free to text or call us.
Building a strong legal defense starts with having all the facts of the case at the fingertips. We work hand in hand with licensed private investigators to gather all the proof we need. Unlike other firms, we search for details ourselves and do not solely depend on police reports. It is common to have eyewitnesses be intimidated or persuaded by the police into not testifying or providing false testimony. We can prevent this from happening by obtaining recorded statements or physical evidence in the early investigation stages.
There are so many mediocre lawyers out there who will provide less than adequate representation at a moderate price. Our goal is to provide high-quality legal representation for all our clients and a fair and affordable price.
We’ll never compromise your case like other lawyers who will push whatever the prosecution throws at them. We’re here to obtain you the best possible outcome and not do as the prosecution says. We have gone above and beyond to gain the reputation we have earned in the courtrooms throughout Anaheim.

Don't Wait! Freedom at the Click of a Button.
Being accused criminally can be frightening and overwhelming. You may feel like you are in a hopeless situation, not to mention the criminal defense process isn’t a walk in the park — it can be intricate and challenging to navigate by yourself. If you do not have adequate legal knowledge and expertise, you won’t know what to anticipate. The only way to increase your odds of obtaining the best possible outcome is by retaining a skilled attorney. Here is a summary of the process through which California criminal cases pass.
Usually, you have to be arraigned within 72 hours of your arrest. Arraignment is the initial court date where the judge formally reads the charges against you. You will also be given conditions to follow as your case proceeds. After the judge reads the charges, he/she will ask you how you plead— guilty, not guilty, or no contest. Unless your lawyer and the prosecutor have already struck a plea deal, you’ll usually plead not guilty at this point.
At this stage, the judge also decides whether to set bail or release you on your own recognizance. The judge considers various factors when determining whether to set bail, including how severe your charges are, your criminal history, and whether you are a flight risk or pose a danger to the community. In some cases, bail isn’t allowed. But if the judge decides to set bail, you have the right to a bail review hearing within a few days after the arraignment.
The discovery phase starts after the arraignment. It involves exchanging information by the defense counsel and the prosecution, including police reports, medical reports, photos, video or audio, diagrams, witness statements, probation reports, and viewing physical proof.
A criminal case usually kicks off with an arrest. Police officers are supposed to arrest you only if they have probable cause that you have committed a crime. After you have been arrested, booking takes place. After which, the arresting officer will submit the police report and necessary proof to the prosecution’s office. The prosecutor then assesses the report plus the evidence and determines whether he/she should file formal charges or not, and if so, what kind of charges. The prosecution then files a criminal complaint. After which, you are charged, and an arraignment date is scheduled.
Most cases don’t go to trial. An experienced lawyer may be able to ensure that your case doesn’t reach this stage. Even if it does, you can still beat the charges. At this point, your lawyer presents proof to counter the prosecution’s case and argues legal defenses on your behalf. He/she can also subpoena experts and witnesses to testify in your favor.
Usually, the defense lawyer and prosecution contest for the jury’s support and will make appeals to the judge as well. After all the arguments have been made, the jury gives a ruling on your case. If you are not content with the judge’s decision, your lawyer can help appeal to the California appellate court.
Usually, preliminary hearings are conducted in felony cases. They are meant to review probable cause further. However, there is a similar pretrial hearing that happens with misdemeanor cases. These hearings are the same. The only difference is that in felony cases, things are generally done on a large scale.
At this stage, the judge decides whether the proof provided is sufficient to sustain the charges filed. If there’s enough evidence, the judge refers the case to trial. Readjustments of bail or additional charges may be made at this point. However, the case doesn’t have to go to trial. The prosecution and defense attorney may reach a plea deal. Or if there’s no sufficient proof, the case can be dismissed.
