Long Beach Criminal Defense & DUI Lawyers

Have you or a family member been arrested for a misdemeanor, felony, DUI or juvenile criminal offense in the Long Beach, CA area? If so, we invite you to join us for a free case evaluation with one of our Long Beach criminal defense attorneys.

Unfortunately, innocent people can get arrested and charged with crimes in Long Beach and the South Bay. Some of these people also get wrongfully convicted. The best way to prevent this from happening is through an experienced criminal defense lawyer who investigates the case against you and thoroughly prepares your defense.

Our Long Beach criminal defense lawyers are former prosecutors and former police officers with experience prosecuting and defending a wide range of crimes. We represent clients in cases including:

Long Beach DUI Charges

A person arrested for DUI or drunk driving in Long Beach actually faces two cases: (1) criminal court proceedings regarding the Long Beach DUI charge, and (2) California DMV proceedings to decide whether the person’s drivers license will be suspended. A skilled Long Beach DUI attorney may be able to help you avoid the drunk driving conviction, and keep your drivers license.

Long Beach Domestic Violence

The Long Beach City Prosecutor has a special unit that handles domestic violence cases, and gives them special attention. Those convicted of Long Beach domestic violence offenses generally face probation, jail time, fines and mandatory counseling.

But we find that many of the domestic abuse and domestic battery cases are based on false or exaggerated accusations. Again, the right Long Beach criminal defense attorney can investigate the facts, identify the problems in the prosecution’s case, and build a defense to help clear your name.

Long Beach Theft

A person arrested for shoplifting or theft in Long Beach faces two potential charges: misdemeanor petty theft or felony grand theft. This depends on the value of the merchandise. If the value is less than $400, only petty theft can be charges. If the value exceeds $400, the prosecutor can charge the more serious grand theft.

In any case, our Long Beach criminal lawyers may be able to keep the theft charges off your record. We may be able to show that the prosecutor simply lacks sufficient evidence to prove its case. Or we may be able to work out a diversion program whereby you repay the merchant, and do some community service, in return for getting the charges dismisses.

Long Beach Drug Cases

We defend people in Long Beach accused of possession, possession for sale, and sale of narcotics...including cocaine, methamphetamine, heroine, ecstasy and marijuana. Our Long Beach drug crime attorneys may be able to get the charges reduced or dismisses, or get the case dropped through a drug diversion or Proposition 36 program.

Long Beach Lewd Conduct in Public

Long Beach police routinely stake out parks and bathrooms looking to arrest gay men on charges of lewd conduct or lewd acts in public. In many of these Long Beach lewd conduct cases, the undercover cops falsely claim to have witnessed the gay men masturbating or performing sexual acts.

The suspects get arrested for Penal Code 647 a Lewd Conduct in Public--a serious crime that can have long term repercussions for a person who gets convicted. Our Long Beach criminal attorneys have been successful in getting many of these charges reduced or dismissed.

If You Need Help...

If you face a criminal prosecution for these or any other charges, we invite you to join our Long Beach criminal lawyers for a free consultation. Our offices are located downtown across the street from the Long Beach courthouse.
