Downey Courthouse Criminal Defense Attorney 

The Downey courthouse handles thousands of criminal cases every year. Its jurisdiction spans an approximate seven-mile radius of the courthouse. Over the past 25 years, I have represented hundreds of clients in this courthouse and believe I have some great criminal defense insight into what must be done to achieve a successful result.

First, if you have a felony case, an early disposition (EDP) court gives our Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys an opportunity to negotiate and resolve the appropriate cases.

 I typically obtain character letters from my clients and gain a good understanding of their positive aspects to show the prosecutor and the judge that they are dealing with a person who deserves to be viewed for all the positive things that they have done and continue to do in their lives.

Reviewing Strategy for Best Outcome

The judges and prosecutors are people like you and will consider who you are before they judge you. It is my job to breathe life into your story. This is why, when we meet, I will ask you a series of questions designed to begin the process of painting a positive picture of you and your situation.

Of course, this will be considered in conjunction with whatever the police/prosecutors are claiming you did. This is why we will also have to discuss your criminal allegations and begin to develop a strategy to counter some of the arguments the prosecutor will make and fully explain what happened and why.

I will need an honest account from you of what happened. This discussion should get straight to the real facts without any spin from you. This way, we can then discuss a defense that makes sense based on your particular circumstances.

Important Consideration In The Downey Criminal Courthouse

If your felony case cannot be resolved in the Downey court, then it will be transferred to the Norwalk courthouse and this is a tougher, less forgiving jurisdiction. Because many felony cases end up feeding into the Norwalk courthouse, I find myself handling many cases their as well.

It is my experience that this courthouse is much tougher than Downey. Hence, if your case should be resolved, it is usually best to do so in Downey.

However, sometimes, the case against you has problems, and I will force the case to the preliminary hearing and challenge the prosecution's case against you. We handle all types of common criminal cases, including domestic violence, violent crimes, theft crimes, and sex crimes.

Many cases are overfiled, and the real facts about what happened are in the middle. The best way to flush out what happened or attack the prosecution's case is to cross-examine their witnesses and challenge their credibility. If this is done properly, in the right case, then the results can be unbelievable!

I pride myself on breaking down the prosecution's case to either achieve a dismissal or a lesser charge for my client.
