The world is changing rapidly ranging from technology to politics, and looking at criminal law in California, especially after Proposition 36 passed, we predict a big spike in demand for Van Nuys criminal attorneys along with criminal defense lawyers throughout the state given the harsher penalties being implemented. And this blog post touches on that.

Nearly 20 years ago when we started defending criminal charges in Los Angeles County the dynamic was very different ranging from the types of cases we defended on a regular basis to the goals District Attorneys/Prosecutors had at the time. Though fast forward to 2025, the game has changed.

And by taking a step back, analyzing everything then thinking about the ramifications of Proposition 36 when it comes to felony criminal charges related to both drugs and theft, we anticipate an increase in the demand for criminal defense attorneys that focus on drug/theft crimes now that the tables have turned.

We’ll continue our research and share insights as things progress, and in the meantime if you need help our team of top criminal defense attorneys offers free consultations and we’re available 24/7: (818) 888-2711
