Van Nuys Criminal Defense Lawyer

Pre-File Intervention and Early Representation

If you become aware that you are the subject of a criminal investigation, you need to act swiftly and with purpose. By taking steps against the filing of charges, you may be able to avoid having criminal charges filed against you altogether. When you have criminal charges filed against you and go to court to defend yourself, even if you are found innocent or charges are dropped, they can still appear on your record when someone performs a background check on you, and may still damage your reputation. The best way to avoid the negative stigma of a criminal trial is to take proactive defensive steps to avoid having charges filed against you. If you believe you may be charged with a criminal charge such as assault, battery, domestic violence or a white collar crime, contact a San Fernando Valley criminal defense attorney from our firm as soon as possible. In cases like this, time is of the essence, so call today.
