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.

    I hired Randy after my previous attorney failed to give me proper information and caused me to violate my probation. Randy appeared in court for got the issue resolved without any head aches. He was a man of his word and I highly recommend him.

    "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.

    "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!

    "An Attorney I Could Trust"
    I called to inquire about a case I was facing, this was one of the many attorneys I was speaking with during a free consult about my next steps. The future was looking more and more alarming as the implications of what I was facing were becoming clear. Halfway through explaining my situation, he interrupted me and asked some basic information, put me on hold for one second and came back telling me he had called around and found out that my case was not proceeding. Four other attorneys I had spoken to did not do this, and in fact had used scare tactics and worst case scenarios to try and hard sell me into signing a retainer. (unfortunately, the evening before I HAD with another attorney signed a retainer but thats for another review) Although I did not need to retain the services of this office, I believe that single action speaks worlds about the integrity, helpfulness, intelligence and capabilities of this office. In a world that is so difficult for the uninitiated, such as the legal system, it seems people are taking advantage of you at every turn. It was a welcome and uplifting experience to see the opposite of that with this law office and I am so grateful I was able to find them and know I could call them if anything were to ever happen to me later in life and know I could trust this team.

    "All my friends' cases either dismissed or reduced significantly."
    Randy is a great attorney that has helped me out of a bad situation. I refer all of my friends that get in trouble and he has gotten all of their cases either dismissed or reduced significantly. You definitely get what you pay for when you hire this firm.
    Chris H.
    "Handled my case in record time with the best possible outcome."
    Randy is awesome! I called so many attorneys and in all honesty he is such an incredible person. All of his office staff is friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He really cares about the welfare of his clients and takes time to discuss your needs in person. I highly recommend him. He handled my case in record time with the best possible outcome.
