Our commitment is to ensure your narrative is presented persuasively, fostering a more just and equitable outcome, knowing that strategy and proper procedure are required at every step of the process.

Our proactive representation begins immediately upon engaging with clients.

Our Strategic Approach to Specific Criminal Cases:

Our commitment to a comprehensive and strategic criminal defense is evident across a range of challenging practice areas:

Gun Crimes:In California, prosecutors adopt an exceptionally strict stance on gun crimes, driven by the state's stringent gun control laws and a focus on public safety. This often means aggressively prosecuting offenses involving firearms, including unlawful possession of a firearm, particularly under statutes like Penal Code (PC) 29800 (felon in possession). 

We recognize the severe legal consequences that can arise from firearm enhancements and charges related to "ghost guns" or possession by prohibited persons. Our strategic approach in these cases involves meticulous investigation into the circumstances of the alleged possession, challenging the legality of searches that led to the discovery of evidence, scrutinizing the prosecution's interpretation of California gun laws, and leveraging all available defenses to protect our clients' rights against potential maximum penalties.

Unauthorized Entry (Federal Immigration Offenses):When addressing unauthorized entry at the federal level, we primarily confront serious federal immigration crimes such as Illegal Entry (8 U.S. Code § 1325) and Illegal Reentry (8 U.S. Code § 1326). These offenses carry distinct and severe federal penalties, often leading to significant prison time and dire immigration consequences, including deportation. 

Our strategic approach to defense in these cases involves challenging the prosecution's ability to prove every element of the charge, investigating the circumstances of arrest by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), examining the validity of prior deportation orders where applicable, and advocating forcefully for our clients' rights throughout the federal court process. We are dedicated to mitigating the devastating impact of these federal criminal charges on our clients' futures.

At every turn, whether navigating California's complex gun laws or fighting federal immigration crimes, our firm is dedicated to providing an aggressive and strategically sound criminal defense for individuals throughout Fullerton, California, and Orange County. Your rights and your future are our priority.
