When you're facing criminal charges, everyone has an opinion about what you should do. Family members, coworkers, that guy you barely know who had a cousin go through something similar. But opinions don't hold up in court. What holds up is preparation, legal knowledge, and an attorney who's done this before. Lankershim residents looking for a recommended criminal defense law firm need someone who backs up their claims with real results. That's us.
Anyone can print a law degree on their wall. What matters is what they've done with it. Our founding attorney, Tammy Higgins, spent 16 years in the public defender's office before launching the SoCal Criminal Defense Lawyer, and during that time she tried over 100 cases in front of juries. Homicides. Complex felonies. Federal financial crimes in California's Central and Southern Districts. She's walked into courtrooms where the odds looked impossible and walked out with wins. That kind of track record doesn't happen by accident.
Prosecutors count on defendants being scared and confused. They pile on charges hoping something sticks. We don't let that strategy work. From day one, we dig into every detail of your case. How did the police get their evidence? Did they follow proper procedures during your arrest? Are there witnesses who contradict the official story? We find the weak points and hammer them until the prosecution's case starts falling apart.
We represent clients charged with DUI, drug crimes, assault, domestic violence, theft, weapons violations, fraud, and homicide. Our post-conviction record includes getting murder convictions vacated and helping clients sentenced to life in prison return home to their families. The charge doesn't scare us. We've seen worse and won.
Criminal cases move fast. Hearings get scheduled. Evidence surfaces. Plea offers come and go. You need an attorney who can respond quickly and meet with you when it counts. Our office serves San Bernardino County, which means we're close enough to be there when you need face time. You're not leaving voicemails with some distant firm hoping they call back eventually.
Lankershim is a neighborhood in San Bernardino with a quiet, residential feel tucked away from the busier commercial corridors. Families here tend to keep to themselves while still maintaining that small-community connection with their neighbors. It's the kind of place where people work hard, raise their kids, and don't expect trouble to find them. When it does, the whole household feels the pressure. We've represented Lankershim residents before, and we understand that protecting your future means protecting everything you've built here.
Criminal charges don't wait, and neither should you. Contact us for a free confidential consultation, and let's talk about how to move forward.
