Our areas of expertise include, but are not limited to:
DUI
One of the most common crimes seen in the Alhambra Court is drunk driving. While it is usually charged as a misdemeanor, there are certain circumstances that could cause the charge to be elevated to a felony. These circumstances include your prior DUI convictions and/or your DUI arrest involving an accident resulting in injury or death to another. Both Mr. Hanrahan and Mr. Sitkoff have experience prosecuting both misdemeanor and felony DUIs and have educated law enforcement in breath testing compliance and evidence collection.
Drug Crimes
Mr. Hanrahan and Mr. Sitkoff have a tremendous amount of experience defending drug-related crimes ranging simple possession of controlled substances and/or prescription drugs to the most serious narcotics charges, such as possession with the intent to sell, and cultivation or manufacturing with intent to sell. Through our over 3 decades of experience, we have developed excellent professional relationships with local drug/alcohol rehabilitation programs throughout the Alhambra area and are committed to helping our clients get the rehabilitative treatment they need. Mr. Hanrahan and Mr. Sitkoff’s expertise in the rules of evidence and criminal procedure ensures that they will identify any flaws or factual weaknesses in the search and seizure aspects of your case.
Theft Crimes
Theft crimes are very broad and can encompass a wide array of criminal acts. These can include shoplifting, petty theft, grand theft, commercial and residential burglary, receiving stolen property, fraud, forgery, embezzlement, and grand theft auto. Theft charges can range from infractions to felony charges depending on your criminal record, facts of the case, and the amount of the theft. Whether you were wrongfully accused or simply had a lapse in judgment, our Alhambra criminal defense attorneys will develop a strategy to achieve the best possible outcome for you.
Sex Crimes
During their time with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Mr. Hanrahan and Mr. Sitkoff handled assignments in the elite sex crimes prosecution unit. This has given both Mr. Hanrahan and Mr. Sitkoff a unique amount of experience and level of expertise in sex crime offenses such as child annoyance, child molestation, statutory rape, forcible rape, sexual battery, indecent exposure, lewd act in public, as well as high-tech sex crimes such as contacting a minor for the purposes of committing a lewd act and possession/distribution of child pornography. Being convicted of a sex crime is very serious and will likely affect you for the rest of your life. If convicted you may be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life, making it crucial that you retain the services of Sitkoff & Hanrahan, LLP to ensure you receive the best defense possible.
Violent Crimes
Violent crimes involve the use or threat of force upon another. Examples of violent crimes are murder, battery, robbery, and assault with a deadly weapon. It is important to note that you can be charged with a violent crime even in situations where there is no physical contact or no one is injured, which is often the case in Alhambra domestic violence arrests. Generally, violent crimes are punished more harshly and a conviction can negatively affect gun ownership rights, citizenship, professional licensing, and future employment.
