Getting the Right Results Starts With Choosing the Right Attorney
Our firm provides legal defense to residents in communities throughout California who face a wide range of charges, including:
- Shooting from or at an occupied vehicle
- Gun charges
- Car jacking
- Drug trafficking
- Robbery
- Gang-related murder
In these situations, it is common for the prosecutor and law enforcement to aggressively pursue gang-related sentencing enhancements. One of the most common defenses relates to the scene of the crime. The fact that a person is present or did not prevent the crime does not mean that an individual aided or abetted the actions of that particular gang. Trust us to investigate every aspect of your charge to develop a unique and effective strategy for your defense.
