You got the call, or maybe you were there when it happened. Either way, you're now dealing with criminal charges and a knot in your stomach that won't go away. We get it. Most of our clients felt the same way the first time they reached out. Our firm works with people throughout Irwindale and the San Gabriel Valley, and as West Covina's top criminal defense lawyer, we've walked a lot of folks through this process. It's not fun, but it's manageable when you've got the right people helping you.
We answer our phones. That sounds basic, but you'd be surprised how many attorneys don't. When you call SoCal Criminal Defense Lawyer, you talk to someone who can actually help you. Tammy Higgins started this firm because she got tired of watching people get lost in the system. We keep our caseload reasonable so we can give your situation the time it needs. No runaround, no passing you off to someone else.
DUI after a few drinks at Miller Park. Drug possession during a traffic stop on Arrow Highway. Domestic violence allegations that came out of nowhere. Assault charges from a situation that got out of hand. We take these cases every week. Theft, gun charges, felonies, misdemeanors, expungements for old convictions, all of it. The specifics change, but our job stays the same: protect you from the worst outcomes and find a path forward.
Cops make mistakes. Prosecutors overcharge. We look for those cracks and use them. If the arresting officer didn't have probable cause or the search violated your rights, that matters. We file motions, challenge shaky evidence, and prepare as if every case is headed to trial. Sometimes the best result comes from negotiation. Sometimes you need to fight it out in front of a jury. We figure out which road makes sense for your situation.
Straight answers. Regular updates. No legal jargon unless you ask for it. You'll know what's happening with your case because we'll tell you, not because you have to chase us down. We also offer free consultations and stay available outside normal hours because arrests don't wait until Monday morning.
