Criminal Defense Cases We Handle in Nevada County
Whether you’ve been charged with a felony or a misdemeanor, we can provide comprehensive legal support and advocacy. We can help you understand the charges brought against you, review your options, and begin developing a robust defense. Below are just some of the types of cases our Nevada County criminal defense attorneys are ready to handle.
Assault & Battery
Misunderstandings can easily become heated and spin out of control. Never assume you can clear things up by talking to investigators. If you are facing assault and battery charges, let our team handle the police, determine exactly what happened, and advise on the next steps.
DUI
Any DUI charge can lead to serious consequences, including incarceration, fines, and loss of driving privileges. We can evaluate the circumstances and determine if your rights have been violated. Then, we can fight for reduced charges, alternative sentencing, and other opportunities that can help achieve a positive outcome.
Felonies
Felonies are the most serious charges you can face in California. A felony conviction can carry multiple years of prison time and a permanent criminal record. With so much at stake, you need a skilled attorney who understands the laws that apply to your case and can use them to craft a strong defense strategy.
Gun Charges
California takes gun crimes extremely seriously and often tries to throw the book at offenders. To preserve your constitutional rights, you should make every effort to avoid a gun crime conviction. We can help you navigate the court process and work to protect your rights from start to finish.
Homicide
Murder and manslaughter charges are some of the worst you can face. You could be looking at life in prison. We have experience with complex homicide cases and can fight to achieve the best outcome possible.
Sex Crimes
Even the allegation of a sex crime, such as sexual assault, a child pornography offense, or prostitution, can ruin your reputation and negatively affect every area of your life. Our team can conduct a thorough investigation and work to prove your innocence.
White-Collar Crimes
Nonviolent white-collar crimes may appear victimless, but California still aggressively prosecutes these offenses. A conviction can dramatically impact your family and career, as charges like fraud and embezzlement can result in years of prison time, fines, restitution, and other penalties. We can help you seek a favorable outcome.
