Types of Cases Our Newport Beach Criminal Lawyers Handle

We have successfully represented clients who have been charged with the following crimes:

  • Driving under the influence: A DUI conviction can have a number of consequences from loss of driving privilege and jail or prison time to installation of an ignition interlock device. You need an experienced DUI defense lawyer on your side to help fight the charges and help you achieve the best possible outcome.
  • Sex crimes: When an individual faces accusations of committing a sex crime, even when he or she is not convicted, the damage can be tremendous in terms of loss of reputation. A sex crime conviction could result in life-altering consequences including prison time, fines and lifetime registration as a sex offender.
  • Domestic violence: Our Newport Beach criminal defense attorneys have significant experience getting domestic violence charges dismissed. We have found that a number of these accusations are made by partners for a variety reasons from getting revenge to winning a child custody battle. We will remain on your side throughout the process and will strive to clear your name and get you an acquittal.
  • Drug crimes: Whether it’s simple possession or drug trafficking or sale, drug crime charges often result in prison time and extensive fines. It could also count as a “strike” under California’s Three Strikes Law and could even become a deportable offense. You need a knowledgeable lawyer on your side to build a solid defense for a favorable outcome.
  • Assault: This is one of the most common charges in Newport Beach and could range from simple assault, which is a misdemeanor to assault with a deadly weapon, which is a felony. Once again, consequences could range from taking anger management classes and probation to prison time.
  • Hit and Run: It is a felony crime under California law to leave the scene of an injury or fatal crash. This is a crime punishable by prison time and fines. Other charges such as manslaughter might be tacked on to the case depending on the nature and severity the incident.
  • White-collar crimes: Fraud, bribery, identity theft, forgery and embezzlement are all examples of white-collar crimes. A number of these can be charged as federal crimes. You need a lawyer who is experienced in handling cases in federal and county courts.
  • Robbery and burglary: These are examples of property crimes. The charges in burglary cases depend on the circumstances of the incident and the amount of money or value on property that is allegedly stolen. A robbery charge is more serious because it involves the element of physical threat or injury. Prosecutors may add charges if a weapon is involved.
  • Arson: This refers to deliberately setting fire to a building, property or a wild forest area. Again, the charges in these cases could depend on the amount of damage done and whether there were any injuries or deaths as a result of the fire.
