After over 90 years of combined experience representing clients in complex criminal cases throughout California we have a unique perspective around what makes a criminal defense attorney/firm special as well as what people should look for when seeking the best representation, and this blog post hits on that. 

Whether looking at the areas we specialize in like Van Nuys or high-profile cases we’ve handled across California, we’ve dealt with thousands of clients as well as DAs/prosecutors and many times there’s one thing missing that makes a criminal defense attorney – or any attorney for that matter – special to their client: Communication.

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. 

When it comes to expunging your criminal record and where to start, the first step is to find an experienced criminal defense attorney that knows the process inside and out, and has successfully expunged a variety of charges in the past. The proof is in the pudding.

Unlike many of the most common criminal offenses in the United States like theft, burglary, assault and robbery, domestic violence cases truly hit home which adds a level of complexity not only in the defense of cases, but also the expertise needed in criminal attorneys/firms that handle them. This post touches more on that.

There are times in life when things just don’t work out as planned and when it comes to hiring a new criminal defense attorney there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel that can effectively guide you through the process, though how do you find them? This blog post touches on that.

When it comes to the criminal defense world, though all criminal attorneys are created equal, there’s a clear difference between those that simply try to settle out of the gates, lawyers that appear at hearings to defend cases then trial attorneys that fight till the end.

This is an interesting topic for us to cover to say the least, though at the same time it’s a very common question we see asked online and charges we have helped defend in courts throughout Los Angeles County (Downtown, San Fernando, Van Nuys, etc.) over the past 20+ years.
