CHARGED WITH A CRIME IN WESTMINSTER? PUT MY EXPERIENCE ON YOUR SIDE

CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER IN WESTMINSTER, CALIFORNIA

Westminster is home to Little Saigon and to the West Justice Center, the courthouse that handles criminal cases from much of western Orange County. If you were arrested in Westminster, or in a nearby city like Huntington Beach, Garden Grove, or Fountain Valley, your case may be heard right here.

The Westminster Police Department patrols busy roads like Beach Boulevard, Bolsa Avenue, and the 405 and 22 freeways. Common arrests include DUI, theft, drug offenses, and assault. My Fountain Valley office is only a few minutes from the courthouse, so I can respond quickly when you need help.

Cases at the West Justice Center

The West Justice Center is located at 8141 13th Street in Westminster. It hears misdemeanor and many felony cases from western Orange County. Every courthouse has its own judges, prosecutors, and practices. Familiarity with how cases are typically handled there helps me give you realistic advice and pursue the best possible result.

Fighting Probation Violations

If you are on probation from an earlier case and are arrested again, you may face both a new charge and a probation violation under Penal Code 1203.2. A violation can expose you to the full sentence from the original case. I defend both cases together and work to keep you out of custody, to have the violation dismissed, or to have probation reinstated instead of revoked.

A Former Officer on Your Side

I served eight years as an officer with the Los Angeles Police Department. Today, I use what I learned to protect people accused of crimes. I know the shortcuts officers sometimes take, and I know how to bring those problems to light in court.
