FACING CHARGES IN TORRANCE? PUT MY EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SIDE

CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA

Torrance is one of the South Bay's largest cities. The Torrance Police Department covers busy commercial areas like the Del Amo Fashion Center, Hawthorne Boulevard, and Pacific Coast Highway, along with the 405 and 110 freeways. Arrests here range from DUI and shoplifting to drug and violent felony charges.

Torrance is also home to the Torrance Courthouse, which hears criminal cases from across the South Bay. If you were arrested in Torrance, Redondo Beach, Gardena, Lomita, or nearby cities, your case may be heard there. My Long Beach office is a short drive away.

Cases at the Torrance Courthouse

The Torrance Courthouse is located at 825 Maple Avenue and is part of the Los Angeles County Superior Court. It handles both misdemeanor and felony cases. Felony cases follow a longer process that includes an arraignment, a preliminary hearing, and pretrial motions. Each stage gives your lawyer a chance to challenge the evidence and negotiate on your behalf.

Retail Theft Charges at Del Amo and South Bay Stores

Large shopping centers like Del Amo Fashion Center produce many theft arrests. Under California law, theft of $950 or less is generally a misdemeanor. Higher amounts, or a history of prior theft convictions, can lead to felony charges. Many first-time theft cases can be resolved through diversion or a dismissal, keeping a conviction off your record.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the Torrance Courthouse?

The Torrance Courthouse is at 825 Maple Avenue, Torrance, CA 90503. It is part of the Los Angeles County Superior Court and hears criminal cases from across the South Bay.

What happens at a preliminary hearing?

In a felony case, the preliminary hearing is where a judge decides whether there is enough evidence to send the case to trial. It is an important chance to test the prosecution's evidence and cross-examine witnesses.

Can I get a DUI dismissed in Torrance?

It depends on the facts. If the stop was unlawful, the tests were given incorrectly, or the evidence was handled improperly, the case may be reduced or dismissed. I review every detail of your arrest to find those issues.
