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.

    "We are forever thankful to have found Randy."
    I cannot express how grateful I am to Randy and his team for the amazing job representing my dad. He was detailed, dedicated, and truly caring for my family throughout the entire process. We are forever thankful to have found Randy. It is rare to find a legal team that feels like extended family. We truly felt so cared for by him and Chris. His knowledge and expertise helped guide us through a very difficult situation and we are so happy to have found this team. I would refer Randy to anyone looking for legal representation. Randy is the best lawyer to call!!

    "Randy is one of the best attorney's you could ever have."
    Randy is one of the best attorneys you could ever have. I’m eternally grateful to Randy and his team for his dedication and professionalism. Randy is very brilliant when it comes to felonies, probation violations, or other criminal cases... Randy is the best lawyer you can have. when other lawyers told me they couldn’t help me out... Randy always told me he can help me and there was never an impossible case to bring in his favor. He was always in touch and keeping me updated on my case, and he gave me the peace and comfort I needed during difficult times. This is the second time he has had to help me stay away from jail. I will never look into other lawyers. I’ll be a loyal client to Randy from now on. You are #1, Randy. Thank you

    "Caring and Genuine Attorney"
    I called the office and right off the bat, I was super impressed at how much help I was receiving without even meeting in person. Chris (the guy who answered my call) is extremely nice and he explains everything so well. He told me how he used to work at the courts for many years (that gave me relief that he knew what he was talking about). Randy (the attorney) is delightful as well and put my worries to rest with his expertise and knowledge. You can tell by his demeanor and how passionate he speaks, that he is genuine and he cares about his clients. This office handles everything from DUI cases to just about anything criminal related.

    "They are such a great team to work with."
    I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

    "Giving Randy a shot was the best choice."
    Oh man, I thank my lucky stars for attorney Randy and his team. I was able to get a great deal and the best advice!
    Adri
    "Glad I had Randy to guide me through it."
    I had the unfortunate experience of being too drunk one night in DTF which led to a Drunk in Public charge. I was able to hire Randy after looking online for a good lawyer. I ended up paying about $3,500 for his services and he got the case dismissed. It was an easy process. It was my first time getting in trouble with the law, and I am glad I had Randy and Chris there to guide me through.
