With a solid 26 years of experience, I've been a reliable ally for attorneys in criminal cases. My expertise spans across Los Angeles County, and I've even contributed to the State Bar of California, serving on a Commission responsible for interviewing and selecting judges for the Governor of California.

My extensive experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the legal system, including various government agencies. I've worked with the District Attorney's office, serving in East Los Angeles in 1992, and as a research attorney for a Superior Court judge in the early 1990s.

I've seen all angles when it comes to criminal cases, particularly in cases involving attorneys who are charged with crimes.  I've also been a criminal defense attorney since 1994, representing only criminal defendants, and have represented numerous attorneys along the way for various crimes, ranging from DUI to domestic violence to more serious offenses, such as embezzlement and fraud.

Then, obviously, I know that we're not just talking about the criminal element and the threat of jail time and other possible punishments; we're also talking about your state bar license, so we have to make sure that we coordinate our efforts to try and protect your license, your representation, and, of course, your freedom.

Our first step is to thoroughly assess your case, including its severity and potential defense strategies. This process involves a detailed discussion to ensure we have a strong defense plan, backed by the expertise of two attorneys.

One who has been doing it for 26 years and another one. I'm sure you're well-schooled in your area of expertise, but you also have the type of mind that can think like an attorney and assist me in defending your case. Your input and understanding of the situation are crucial in building a strong defense.

Therefore, if it's a defensible case, I encourage you to review my feedback.  Look at the videos.  I have over 300 on YouTube, so you can see what type of attorney I am — how I carry myself, my confidence level, and obviously my experience level.

Suppose you're going to challenge the District Attorney's office or the City Attorney's office in a criminal jury trial. In that case, you'll want an attorney who has handled over 200 jury trials on your side.

Mitigation Package

On the other hand, if you and I realize that the prosecutors have sufficient evidence against you to prove the case against you, obviously, we're in a different situation.

We're going to do damage control. We're going to put together a mitigation package, which involves gathering evidence and testimonials that showcase your positive aspects, including your family, job, and community involvement. Then, we can really get down to the nitty-gritty of defending you the right way.

So, if you're an attorney and have been charged with a crime in Los Angeles, I encourage you to sit down with someone like me who has walked the road you're about to travel and achieved successful outcomes for my attorney clients.

There are numerous factors that contribute to defending a criminal case, whether the individual is an attorney or another professional. I've got a lot of experience with these types of criminal cases, and I really know how to dig in and either defend the case if necessary or show the prosecutors that there is another side to you that they need to look at.

The good thing about crimes involving attorneys is that you're usually going to have sophisticated prosecutors. The person is typically, but not always, assigned specially so that we will be dealing directly with them and probably their supervisor.

It makes it a lot easier to get special attention, as it allows them to take the time to review mitigating evidence or even evidence that shows you're not guilty of the crime you're being charged with.

Whereas, suppose you're just lumped in with all of the other general criminal defendants in Los Angeles. In that case, it's a huge county, with over a thousand prosecutors, more than 38 different courthouses, and it's very busy. Sometimes, it's challenging to obtain the personal attention necessary to thoroughly review the case.

Certainly, I'm going to do it, but we need to be able to get a prosecutor with some authority to look at it. One of my specialties is knowing the inner workings of a District Attorney's office.

I know how to defend an attorney who is charged with a charge, what mitigating information to get to them, how to present it, and obviously, how to get the result that you need to protect your freedom, your rights, your liberty, and of course, do whatever we can to help you with your state bar license.

So, if you're an attorney who is charged with a crime, pick up the phone.  Make the call.  You can speak directly to me, Ron Hedding.  We can do everything possible to assist you and help you exit the criminal justice system as quickly as possible.
