The answer can vary widely depending on the unique circumstances of each case. Our number one goal is always getting our clients the best results possible. This often involves a meticulous examination of the prosecution's case, searching for inconsistencies in police statements or witness testimonies, as well as any potentially unlawful actions by law enforcement. We may challenge the prosecution’s case by filing motions to dismiss charges or exclude evidence.

Furthermore, we strive to present our clients in the most favorable light to the court. If alcohol or substance abuse is a factor in your case, we may recommend therapy, self-help meetings, outpatient or inpatient treatment, alcohol monitoring, or other appropriate interventions.

Other cases may require a doctor’s evaluation or therapy, family counseling, anger management classes, and more. We have doctors and other health professionals in place to help our clients both pave a brighter future, and get the best results possible in court.

The answer to this can vary widely. For instance, in situations like a recent domestic violence arrest with a pending court date, where we're actively pursuing dismissal, we may touch base daily to keep you informed of progress. In most cases, we update our clients once action is taken on your case - whether it’s a court appearance or a DMV hearing, we will update you.

It’s common to have a period of weeks or months between court dates. However, many clients reach out with questions in between court dates, which is great! We love to help our clients feel at ease through this process. Let us know whether you prefer to communicate via phone, text, or email, and we look forward to talking to you!

We offer flat fee pricing depending on the specific details and complexities involved.

During your free consultation, we'll take the time to understand the details of your case, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with a realistic cost estimate. Text or call (714) 455-9080 and we look forward to meeting you.

Typically, we can appear on your behalf. In most misdemeanor cases, we make all court appearances without our clients coming to court. Courts may require our clients to attend court hearings in felony cases, and some domestic violence court hearings.

This is a frequently asked question. When a case goes to court, we need to ensure that we obtain all the evidence to review it. This is a lengthy process. We also need to discuss your case with the judge and prosecutor, and possibly present a mitigation package in your defense. While many cases can resolve within a 6-month period, we prefer to focus on getting the best results, rather than quickly resolving your case and moving on to the next one. Also, the answer can vary from county to county. Orange County and Los Angeles County tend to move cases along more quickly, whereas San Bernardino County can require us to wait 4-5 months between court dates.

The largest difference is the amount of time someone can spend in jail or state prison. A misdemeanor can carry a sentence of up to one year in local jail, whereas a felony can carry a state prison sentence of a much longer period of time. Also, the prosecuting agency has 12 months from your date of arrest to file misdemeanor charges, but they can take up to 3 years to file charges on most types of felony charges. We can get many types of felony charges (including DUI, domestic violence, theft, assault, and others) reduced to misdemeanors in court, and it is possible to avoid prison on many felony cases.

Absolutely! We get cases expunged for our clients all the time. Let’s discuss your case and whether we want to put together a written statement or other documents to show the judge, to maximize your chance for success!
