This is a warrant that the police get by going directly to a Superior Court judge in one of the criminal courts in Los Angeles and asking the judge to issue a warrant for a particular defendant or defendants that they’re trying to get their hands on, arrest and hopefully have the prosecutors and District Attorneys in Los Angeles file a case against them. So, it’s a situation where the judge is issuing the warrant instead of the prosecutors and District Attorney’s office.  What’s interesting about this is the fact that usually, probably in 95% or better of cases in… Read More

There’s a lot of schemes going on where individuals are working with inside people in gas stations to steal gas.  It could be truck drivers who are getting huge amounts of gas at a discounted rate or even paying nothing for the particular gas.

Now you’re looking at not being able to vote, having a felony conviction on your… Read More

Defense Lawyer Helping Agents Whose Clients are Charged with Criminal Cases in Los Angeles For 26 years now, I’ve assisted agents in helping their clients who have criminal cases pending in Los Angeles.  A lot of times agents are tasked with the responsibility of making sure that their clients are represented when they have a criminal case.

Over the last 26 years I’ve represented a lot of dentists charged with various crimes.  Sometimes the crime charged relates to what they do in their practice.  In other words, while they’re performing some dental activities, they’re alleged to have touched the alleged victim in some inappropriate way or had sex with the alleged victim. In other words, a sexual assault or other sex crime criminal charge pending against a dentist is something I’ve handled many times in the past.

Which Type of Cases are the Los Angeles Courts Dealing with in Today’s Coronavirus (COVID-19) Lockdown? Believe it or not, all 38 of the Los Angeles criminal courts are still open for business as I make this post in late March and they probably will be through this virus.  I don’t think there’s going to be a complete shutdown of the courthouses. However, unless things really get out of control and I think the reason for that is because there’s a lot of people who are in custody and also, the criminal justice system in Los Angeles county is huge with… Read More
