🚨 URGENT CALIFORNIA STATUTORY WARNING:

If you or a loved one are actively detained, under police surveillance, or being questioned by LAPD, LASD, or the CHP: Exercise your absolute 5th Amendment right to remain silent. Do not consent to warrantless searches or provide recorded statements without trial counsel present.

PC 211 Robbery Defense (First & Second Degree)

Robbery requires taking personal property from someone else against their will using force or fear. We challenge witness identification accuracy, evaluate surveillance footage, and dispute claims of force or intimidation.

PC 459 Burglary Charges (Residential vs. Commercial)

Residential burglary (First Degree) is an automatic strike offense, while commercial burglary (Second Degree) covers entering a business with intent to steal. Proving lack of intent at the time of entry is a cornerstone burglary defense.
