Criminal Charges We Handle

Facing charges in or around Downey, from Florence Ave to Old River School Rd, you need counsel who knows the local courts and law enforcement practices. Our Downey criminal defense lawyers handle:

California’s Criminal Process Is Complex

Criminal cases aren’t just “guilty or not.” They turn on how evidence was obtained, whether traffic stops on Lakewood Blvd or searches near Firestone Blvd followed the law, and whether procedures were followed. A skilled defense team will:

Investigate the stop, search, and seizure
Challenge unreliable testimony and forensics
File motions to suppress illegally obtained evidence
Negotiate strategically and be ready for trial

Without an advocate, it’s easy to get lost in the details and accept outcomes that could have been avoided.

What’s at Stake in Downey?

Penalties in Downey and throughout California can include jail or prison, fines, probation, and a permanent criminal record. Long-term consequences often hit hardest:

Employment: Many employers run background checks, which can reduce hiring prospects.
Immigration: Certain convictions can affect status or re-entry.
Civil Rights: Some felony convictions impact gun ownership and other rights.
Reputation & Relationships: A conviction can affect housing, licensing, and community standing.

California is also known for tough sentencing in serious or repeat offenses (including laws that enhance penalties for prior strikes). Having a seasoned defense team matters.
