LOCAL CONNECTIONS AND 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN THE VAN NUYS COURTHOUSE SET US APART
Van Nuys Criminal Defense Attorney – “a strategy for success!”
This courthouse is my favorite for many reasons. First, it is five minutes from my Encino office. Second, I have been practicing there for 25 years and really like the judges and prosecutors who staff it. On average, my firm makes over 300 appearances a year in the Van Nuys Criminal Court system.
Our success in the Van Nuys Court is unparalleled. We've appeared in all courtrooms, successfully tried numerous cases, and defended a wide range of crimes.

One thing that I like to do when I meet with a potential client is to discuss their case and what I feel the parameters of their defense should be. The beauty of my representation is that I know all of the judges and prosecutors in the Van Nuys Courthouse and have a pretty good idea of what they will do in a given situation.
Being able to tell a client how the judge and prosecutor will handle a particular crime is invaluable, especially when you are scared, have lost control of your life, and are searching for answers.
Our ability to predict the actions of the judge and prosecutor gives us a unique advantage in strategizing our defense and achieving the best possible outcome.
Arraignment Courts in Van Nuys and How to Operate
There are two arraignment courts in the Van Nuys Courthouse. Department 100 is the felony arraignment court, and all felony cases that are filed in this courthouse may start in this courtroom. This department is also utilized as an early disposition courtroom if a defense attorney believes they have a case that is ripe for resolution versus fighting.
The judge will set the bail in the arraignment court and it can not be changed after that unless there are changed circumstances to warrant such a change. The felony arraignment court is just the first stop in a case as it winds its way through the criminal process.
Department 101 is the misdemeanor arraignment courtroom in the Van Nuys Courthouse, and as you might guess, it handles all misdemeanor arraignments. Departments 100 and 101 are right next to each other, and every case filed in the Van Nuys Courthouse must go through one of these courtrooms at the beginning.
Once a person appears and enters a not-guilty plea in either of the arraignment courtrooms, the case is randomly sent to a court, where it will either continue in the litigation process or be resolved through a negotiated plea.
Knowing the process of a particular courthouse is one of the key components that the best Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys must have. It is a passion of mine to know the courthouse's playing field so I can do everything possible for my clients to achieve the best result.
