There are many reasons you might need a criminal lawyer. The most common reason you need a criminal lawyer is because you have been arrested and/or charged with a crime. I’ve been a criminal lawyer for over twenty years, and I’ve handled cases in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. I have a reputation for telling the truth, which is the most important quality that you want in a criminal lawyer, because if they don’t tell you the truth, you won’t make good decisions about your situation.

The most common question I’m asked is, “Do I need a criminal lawyer?” The answer is almost always yes, but not 100% of the time. Of course, hiring a good criminal lawyer costs money, so if you don’t have money to hire a criminal lawyer, you will qualify for a free lawyer from the local public defender.

The best reason to hire a criminal lawyer is the personal attention you will receive. Being arrested and charged with a crime is stressful, and you want to be able to talk to your criminal lawyer on a regular basis. I am always available for my clients, and you can call or text me at 323-645-0697.

Do you have questions about criminal misdemeanor charges? Call or text me at 1(323) 645-0397. You probably have many questions about criminal misdemeanor charges that I can answer by text or on the phone. Questions about me- check out my Yelp reviews.

One of the main problem when you are facing misdemeanor charges is the length of time between arrest and the first court date- prosecutors have up to one year to file charges. Charges may not be filed at your first court date- it can be hard to find out when your first court date is scheduled. Many people arrested on misdemeanor charges aren’t charged with a crime at all, particularly for many domestic violence arrests.

I offer clients who have been arrested but not formally charged with a misdemeanor- 500 and it guarantees that I will agree to help you if and when misdemeanor charges are filed. You can hire me for misdemeanor charges from 1500 up to 5000 (or more). The 500 is applied to that eventual fee. If you are facing misdemeanor charges call or text me today. You don’t want to spend a year waiting for misdemeanor charges to be filed and not have a lawyer standing by to help.

A criminal misdemeanor is a common kind of charge, less serious than a felony, punishable by up to a year in county jail. Common categories of criminal misdemeanor charges include driving under the influence (DUI or DWI), domestic violence, assault, petty theft and vandalism. Some charges called “wobblers” can be either felonies or misdemeanors, depending on what happens in the case.

A major advantage to hiring me to handle a criminal misdemeanor is that you do not have to go to Court (domestic violence misdemeanors excepted), which is a major time and money saver when you are facing misdemeanor charges. I have 20 years of experience as a misdemeanor attorney I have handled cases as misdemeanor lawyer in Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino , Ventura and Imperial counties.
