Norwalk

Criminal Defense Attorney in Norwalk, CA

Norwalk is a long-standing old courthouse that has been around for a long time, and it's the big brother to Downey Court.  All the felony cases that go past the preliminary hearing or even at a preliminary hearing in Downy will get moved to the Norwalk court.

So, it covers a big area over there.  It borders Orange County, and it's been known as one of the toughest courthouses in Los Angeles County.

I've been practicing in the city of Norwalk now for the last 26 years and have handled hundreds of cases there — extensive jury trials and significant murder cases.  So, I have a lot of experience not only with the history of the Norwalk courthouse but also with handling cases there.

I am dealing with the DA's office. As I wrote in this post in 2020, I think the Norwalk courthouse is much more reasonable regarding prosecution than it has been over the last twenty years.

I remember one of the judges saying our resolutions were much more arduous than those in Orange County when I practiced there.  That was a big statement because Orange County is known to be one of the most challenging prosecution-oriented District Attorney's offices.

If you're facing a case in the Norwalk court and need a tough attorney with experience in negotiating and fighting cases, I'm your guy. I understand that sometimes, a fight is necessary to achieve the resolution you need for your client.

When you call,  I'll listen to your case and relate it to the city of Norwalk and its legal system.  I understand it's a very conservative city and the jury pool can be tough. But rest assured, I know how to navigate this system to ensure the best possible outcome for you.

I think that's part of the reason you might sometimes hear people call it “no walk” in criminal defense. Juries have always been known to be conservative and tough on defendants.

But listen, if somebody's innocent and you can show that they're innocent, it doesn't matter where the case is. You should be able to win the case if you've got the evidence and you can show the jury that the person is not guilty.

Negotiating Your Criminal Case

When it comes to a case in the Norwalk court, the first step is to understand your situation. We'll discuss what happened, your perceived responsibility, and whether we'll fight or negotiate the case.

If you know anything about Norwalk, they will most likely resolve it through a negotiated plea if they've arrested you and filed a case against you.

Of course, if a person is wrongfully arrested and accused, you must stand up and fight. You want to have a champion by your side to do that.

So, that's the first thing we need to decide: whether we're going to fight it all the way, try to negotiate it, or maybe we'll do the preliminary hearing and damage the prosecution's case because they've overcharged you. They need to be aware that they've overcharged you by seeing how weak their evidence is.
