Prosecutors in Fullerton follow a structured but firm approach:

• Early filing: Many misdemeanor and felony complaints are filed within 48 hours of arrest.
   
• No-drop policies: Domestic violence and DUI cases are rarely dismissed voluntarily.
   
• Local coordination: Police agencies in Fullerton, Anaheim, Brea, and Placentia often share investigative data, which means multiple agencies may be involved in your case.
   

Understanding this environment is essential to developing a winning defense. Our goal is to intervene early — sometimes even before charges are filed — to prevent escalation and protect your freedom.
