Types of Criminal Charges We Defend Against

With former prosecutorial experience and an in-depth understanding of criminal law, our firm is well-equipped to defend against a wide range of criminal charges. Common cases we handle include:

Criminal Investigations

Our firm meticulously handles criminal investigations to protect your rights and thoroughly review the evidence against you. We aim to prevent charges from being filed wherever possible by working hard to uncover every detail that may strengthen your defense. From initial investigations to pre-trial hearings to criminal litigation, our attorneys can vigorously defend your rights throughout every stage of the legal proceedings.

Assault and Battery

Assault and battery charges carry serious penalties in California. Fortunately, our defense lawyers are well-versed in the legal complexities of these cases to provide the robust defense you deserve. Whether you were falsely accused or made an honest mistake, we can fight tirelessly to reduce or dismiss the charges against you while mitigating the consequences of a criminal conviction.

DUI Defense

DUI offenses can lead to significant consequences, even for first-time offenders. If you were arrested for DUI, our attorneys can thoroughly investigate the arrest procedures, breathalyzer results, and field sobriety tests to challenge the prosecution’s case and seek to reduce or drop the charges you’re facing.

Drug Crimes

From marijuana to prescription medications, our lawyers are knowledgeable about California drug laws to defend against a wide range of drug offenses, including possession, distribution, and manufacturing. We can help you safeguard your liberties by challenging the validity of searches and seizures and advocating for reduced or dismissed charges.

Felony Charges

A felony conviction can result in lifelong consequences for offenders, including extensive prison sentences and reputational damage. Our team can develop a customized defense strategy on your behalf, cross-examine witnesses, and negotiate reduced penalties if necessary to secure a favorable outcome in your case.

Misdemeanors

While misdemeanor offenses are less serious than felonies, a misdemeanor conviction can still lead to harsh penalties in criminal court. Our attorneys can work diligently to mitigate repercussions while aiming for case dismissals or reduced penalties through plea bargains or trial defense strategies.

Gun Charges

The ever-evolving complexities of California gun laws can make it difficult to defend against firearm offenses. Luckily, our lawyers have an in-depth understanding of state and federal gun regulations to defend against gun crimes. We can help you explore your legal options and determine an effective defense to employ on your behalf.

Hit-&-Runs

Hit-and-run charges can lead to harsh penalties, including jail time and fines. Our firm can investigate all aspects of the incident and advocate for reduced or dismissed charges based on the unique circumstances of your case.

Homicide

Homicide charges are among the most serious criminal offenses. Our attorneys can examine forensic evidence and witness statements to uncover exculpatory evidence, develop a rigorous defense strategy to clear your name, and protect against the permanent consequences of a felony conviction.

Sex Crimes

Sex crime allegations can ruin lives and result in life-altering repercussions, even for first-time offenders. Our lawyers are dedicated to protecting your future by scrutinizing the evidence against you, interviewing witnesses, and employing experts to challenge the prosecution’s case if necessary to protect against reputational damage.

Violent Crimes

Violent crimes require a strong defense to avoid serious repercussions in criminal court. Whether you simply weren’t thinking or acted in self-defense, our lawyers can meticulously analyze evidence and develop a strong legal strategy to challenge the allegations against you.

Juvenile Crimes

Juvenile crimes can forever alter a young person’s future. We aim to protect minors from severe penalties by focusing on rehabilitation opportunities and pursuing dismissals or reduced charges in juvenile court.

Cybercrimes

Cybercrimes often involve complex technological evidence. Our attorneys understand the legal intricacies of digital forensics to develop defenses against charges like hacking, online fraud, and identity theft.

Theft

From petty theft to grand larceny, theft charges can lead to serious repercussions in criminal court. Our firm provides fact-based defenses that question intent and ownership, empowering us to pursue the best possible outcome in your case.

White-Collar Crimes

White-collar crimes like fraud and embezzlement require detailed financial analysis and legal expertise. Walsh Law can defend your rights by dissecting allegations, examining evidence, and pursuing acquittals or reduced penalties.
