Criminal Defense Attorney in Pomona, CA
I've been practicing criminal defense in Pomona for the last 26 years. I've handled many high-profile cases and many small cases. Pomona has always been a conservative jurisdiction, with judges and prosecutors trying to hammer defendants.
I always needed to understand why. The only thing I can think is that there is a pretty big population in Pomona; therefore, there's a lot of crime. There are also a lot of gangs in Pomona City, so I think the prosecutors and judges have to put the hammer down. Otherwise, they will be overrun.
While Pomona is part of Los Angeles County, it's a city with a unique legal landscape. Understanding its distinct personality, especially in criminal law, is crucial when dealing with judges, the District Attorney's office, and the City Attorney's office.
Criminal Lawyer for All Types of Crimes in Pomona
If your case is in the Pomona courthouse and occurred in Pomona, you're in capable hands. I've successfully handled thousands of cases in this courthouse over the past 26 years, ranging from minor to serious offenses. You can trust my experience and expertise.
I've dealt with the prosecutors. I've dealt with the judges. Fortunately, now that Jackie Lacey is a prosecutor, she's been very reasonable as far as changing some of the courthouses that were known as being very conservative.
They are very prosecution-oriented and very severe when it comes to punishments like Pomona, and she's changed them into a much more reasonable and flexible prosecution-oriented courthouse.
So, some things can be done under the right circumstances. What I'm looking for when I get a case is, what is my client all about? Do they have a family? Do they have a job? Do they have a future?
Mitigating Factors in a Criminal Case
I can determine that I've got a client who has potential, is not a danger to the community, and will not run away from their responsibilities related to their case in the Pomona Superior Court. In that case, we have an excellent foundation to build a good defense; a good defense is only sometimes trying to win the case.
Sometimes, a good defense is trying to mitigate things and show the other side of the equation — show the type of person that you're dealing with and the type of family that you're dealing with, and what can be lost if somebody goes to prison for a long time or ends up in county jail or gets a felony on their record.
Whatever the case may be, you've got to get an attorney who will fight for their clients, who knows the Pomona courthouse and the judges and the prosecutors and how they deal with cases, and who has the skill set to be able to defend somebody who is charged with a serious crime.
As your attorney, I will be your advocate, representing your best interests and ensuring your rights are protected throughout the legal process.
Most of the cases that I have in the city of Pomona are serious crimes — whether they are violent crimes, whether they involve gang violence, whether it's a serious or violent felony under the Three Strikes Law of California — Pomona is set up to prosecute these cases. These are a lot of the cases that they deal with.
So, you have to have an attorney who can speak for you — that can get your version of events across to the prosecutor and judge. Sometimes, you're innocent, and we need to talk to a jury, and you need to be found not guilty.
Seeking Lesser Charges or Case Dismissal
Other times, they've got evidence that you've done something wrong, and we need to figure out how we can mitigate things — how we can get a lesser charge — how we can try to keep you out of custody so you can still provide for the people that you love and are most close to.
