As criminal defense attorneys that have handled hundreds of murder trials throughout Los Angeles County, especially in the San Fernando Valley, we always keep up with what’s happening in the news whether that’s around cases we’re handling or what’s happening in general (recent cases, crime stats, etc.). And recently, we have seen a big spike in news articles around murders in the San Fernando Valley.
From the murder that took place in Woodland Hills late April where 3 individuals were charged shortly thereafter to a recent murder only a few days ago at an apartment complex in Valley Village, there’s clearly something on the rise – but what?
Our firm specializes in representing clients facing everything from simple DUIs to complex felonies, and part of being the best at what we do requires us to have our finger on the pulse to understand everything on the ground level in particular areas where we represent clients in local courthouses (San Fernando, Van Nuys, etc.). And that’s why this trend is interesting to our team and why we’re looking into it more.
We’re going to continue our research and will share more insights soon in a follow-up blog post!
