Los Angeles Criminal Courthouses

There are many criminal courts in Los Angeles County.  I've been doing this for twenty-five years. When I first started out and for many years of my practice, there were approximately 43 courts in Los Angeles County. Believe it or not, the courts and the money they generate make up the most significant portion of the California budget.

For some reason, Sacramento has decided — even though the courts are an excellent profit generator for them — to consolidate the courts.  Now, you're referring to approximately twenty-five courts in Los Angeles County, spread out throughout the county, which is a large county.

It's a county that extends from Long Beach to Lancaster, Pomona to Van Nuys, and every courthouse.

If you have a criminal case in one of the courthouses in Los Angeles County, I think it's important to understand them. Some of these courts are more conservative than others.

Some are tougher on certain crimes than others, which makes sense. Certain crimes plague some areas, so they must be more challenging; otherwise, they will be overrun. Learn the step-by-step process in a Lancaster criminal case.

Understanding Court Tendencies is Crucial In Los Angeles Criminal Defense

Knowing the courthouse and its personnel, including the judges and prosecutors, is crucial.  That's where your criminal defense attorney comes in.

I know these courthouses.  I know who the judges are in the courthouses.  I know who the prosecutors and the bosses are that we need to talk to to get you the best result in your criminal case.

When I meet with you to discuss the court where your case is pending, I will try to provide you with some insight into how that courthouse handles cases like yours.

I mean, that's what you want to know.  You would like some specifics about how the judges in a particular court where your case is pending handle this type of case.

For example, if you have a criminal case in Van Nuys court and're charged with domestic violence, you will want to know what you're looking at.  What are you facing?  What do these guys do when it comes to a criminal case related to domestic violence in the Van Nuys court?

So, it doesn't matter what the charge is; what matters is how the court — the judges and prosecutors — will deal with that charge.

So, that's why when you come in, I ask where your case is pending — which courthouse, what you're charged with, what happened.  We discuss everything and then devise a plan to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.  That's done through experience.

Reviewing Your Criminal Case for the Best Possible Outcome

I've been doing this for a considerable amount of time.  I've handled thousands of cases over the many years I've practiced, and since I'm in the courts almost every day, I've usually dealt with the prosecutor and the judge who will be in front of your case.  So, we're going to talk about that.  We're going to talk about what you might be able to do.  What information might you be able to provide to help me achieve the best possible result?

Whether that be information to support a defense or whether that might be information to mitigate the circumstances through character letters or letters from doctors.  Maybe we'll get a report from a doctor — it just depends on the circumstances of your case.

We're not going to do the same thing every time in every case because we're going to hone and focus our efforts on what will make a difference in your case. That's what's crucial because you're often going to make phone calls and talk about the court where your case is, and whoever you're talking to is not going to know anything about that courthouse.

What good does that do for you?  You need someone who understands the court, the process, and how to handle a case like yours in the court where your case is pending.

So, pick up the phone. Let's discuss your case and its current status, and then we'll develop a plan that makes sense for you and your circumstances, enabling us to expedite your exit from the court system as quickly as possible. You need an attorney familiar with the Los Angeles Criminal Court System, and you need to learn how to choose the best criminal lawyer.
