FACING CHARGES IN NORWALK? PUT MY EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SIDE

CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN NORWALK, CALIFORNIA

Norwalk is home to the Norwalk Courthouse, one of the main criminal courthouses in southeast Los Angeles County. Many felony cases from Norwalk, Bellflower, Downey, Cerritos, and surrounding communities are heard there. If you were arrested in Norwalk, your case will likely be decided in this courthouse.

Norwalk contracts with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Deputies from the Norwalk Station patrol the city, including the 5 and 605 freeway corridors and the Norwalk transit station area. I regularly represent clients charged in Norwalk, from my office in nearby Long Beach.

Felony Cases at the Norwalk Courthouse

The Norwalk Courthouse is at 12720 Norwalk Boulevard. Felony cases there move through several stages: arraignment, a preliminary hearing, pretrial motions, and possibly trial. Each stage is an opportunity to challenge the evidence, file motions to suppress, and negotiate for a better outcome. A prepared defense lawyer can often get charges reduced or dismissed before trial.

Prior Convictions and Three Strikes

If you have prior convictions, prosecutors may allege them to increase your sentence. That can include strikes under California's Three Strikes law. Judges have the power to dismiss a prior strike in the interest of justice under Penal Code 1385. In recent years, California has also limited how certain enhancements can be used. I evaluate every prior conviction allegation and fight to reduce your exposure.

Experience That Works for You

Before becoming a defense lawyer, I served eight years with the Los Angeles Police Department. I know how officers and deputies investigate cases, how reports are written, and what details matter in court. I put that knowledge to work for clients in Norwalk and throughout Los Angeles County.
