Contra Costa Criminal Defense Attorney

Helping You Challenge Any Misdemeanor or Felony Charge

A criminal arrest puts a defendant in an uncomfortable situation - they believe that they have done nothing wrong yet are being reprimanded by the law enforcement. In situations such as these, it is important for you to make quick decisions regarding how you will proceed with the charges and whether you plan to fight or sit back and take the punishment.

For even the most minor misdemeanor offense, a prosecutor will push for maximum penalties for an individual, which can include jail time, prison fines, probation, license suspension and more. Furthermore, they may try to find evidence to increase the charges and find enhanced consequences, especially if they see that you do not have legal representation. As such, having a Contra Costa criminal defense lawyer close by will be absolutely crucial in your journey to provide the jury and judge with evidence of your innocence.
