Domestic Violence

A first offense for domestic violence misdemeanor can result in a year in county jail, and subsequent felony offenses can put you in prison for several years. A permanent criminal record can make working and furthering your education challenging. Also, the statute of limitations for a domestic violence crime in California is now five years, so a charge could come when you least expect it. However, our San Diego domestic violence attorney is highly skilled and experienced in criminal court and will aggressively fight these charges. Our domestic violence lawyer is committed to the best result for your case.

Burglary

A 2nd-degree burglary charge in California is serious. You may receive up to one year in county jail for a misdemeanor but up to three years for a felony burglary charge. However, the prosecutor must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Your San Diego burglary attorney may argue many effective defenses, such as you didn’t know the items weren’t yours or you had no intent to commit a crime. Our breaking and entering attorneys in San Diego have a successful track record of fighting these serious charges. If you call today, we will start protecting your rights and building your defense.

Drug Possession

Many think that drug possession is a minor charge. Wrong. You can be charged with a felony for possessing even a small amount of illegal drugs in California. A conviction for possessing minute quantities of cocaine, heroin, or prescription painkillers, and others can lead to severe outcomes, including prison. That is why you should contact an elite San Diego drug possession attorney after your arrest. Possession with intent to sell is difficult to prove, and our excellent attorneys know how to construct the absolute best defense possible. Common defenses include illegal search and seizure and whether you knew the substance was an illegal drug.

Sexual Assault

California sexual assault charges can be bewildering, and you need to know your legal rights. California’s Penal Code 243.4 PC states that sexual assault is touching someone intimately without their consent. The charge can be a misdemeanor but may be elevated to a felony with aggravating factors. A sexual assault charge may include attempted rape, forced penetration, unwanted kissing, or inappropriate fondling. You can also be sued for sexual assault even if you aren’t convicted of a crime. A skilled San Diego sexual assault attorney can review your case and lay out the best defense options. We are available 24/7 to provide immediate help with a sexual battery charge.

Thanks For Helping Us

Your firm took over my husbands case last minute, Thanks for helping us so much through this difficult time in our lives. I will always recommend your firm to everyone I know.

Crystal, La Jolla

He Fought My Case

After my 3rd DUI I knew if I messed up again I was going to jail for sure. I was guilty and I was certain there was no way anyone could help me. I hired Oscar thinking he could maybe get me less jail time. Instead he actually fought my case. Very happy with the result. Thanks Oscar!

Antonio, Chula Vista

You’re amazing

I can’t thank you enough for taking my sons case. I felt hopeless, and as a mother I blamed myself for everything that was happening. I still get tears in my eyes when I think of everything you did for us. Thank you. You’re amazing

Charges Reduced

My cousin got arrested and my family hired a ‘family attorney’. This attorney was trying to convince my cousin to take a deal that would have put him away for over 10 years. We then hired Elite Criminal Defense, they got him probation instead.

Eduardo, El Cajon

Not Guilty

In a world filled with attorneys that don’t seem to care about their clients, it was refreshing to find someone with as much compassion as Mr. Valencia.

Richard, San Diego

Great Service

Great service from start to the end of my case. Always answered my calls. Always on time. I would definitely recommend.

Philip, Chula Vista

You Saved Me

When I needed help, you were there for me. We all make mistakes, unfortunately mine almost cost me everything. I was already mentally prepared to do some serious prison time. I heard about you through an inmate you were representing. I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me. You saved me. Thank you!!!
