Criminal Defense in Los Angeles
Misdemeanor & Felony DUI
The consequences for a DUI conviction can be severe and can include punishments ranging from a license suspension, installation of an IID, mandatory completion of drunk driving education program, and even jail time, especially for repeat offenders.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence related charges can either be prosecuted as misdemeanor or felony crimes depending on a number of factors. Even as a misdemeanor offense, domestic violence related convictions can result in serious punishments that include jail time, restraining orders, and mandatory anger management counseling.
Drug Charges
Drug charges are aggressively investigated and prosecuted in California at both the state and federal levels. The consequences of a drug related conviction can be serious, especially for those accused of possessing or manufacturing drugs with the intent to sell. Punishments can include incarceration, court mandated counseling, asset forfeiture, and even incarceration in county jail or state prison on felony convictions.
Violent Crimes
In California, a violent crime is defined as any crime that involves a serious threat or bodily harm to another or involves the use of a deadly weapon. These offenses carry significant penalties, especially if the crime involves the possession or use of a firearm.
Theft Charges
Theft crimes encompass a wide range of offenses from petty theft, grand theft, and receiving stolen property, to more complex white collar crimes such as embezzlement, fraud, and bribery. The punishment range for a theft related conviction can result in jail time, fines and restitution, probation, and community labor.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime charges carry some of the most punitive punishments imposed in California. The consequences of a sex crime conviction can result in jail or state prison time, mandatory counseling, significant fines and restitution, and in the most serious cases, registration as a sex offender.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
We think our clients say it best...
We wanted to thank you so very much for representing Cory. We could not be more relieved with the outcome. We are so grateful to you and your staff. We know that you worked hard and there were many obstacles. It was a pleasure meeting you and we will definitely recommend you in the future to anyone who may be in need of you services- hopefully not “us” (bet you hear that often!). We filled out your review on AVVO and hope that brings in more business for you. Although, you seem to be extremely busy already…. Are you sure you want more work? Maybe a nice vacation or early retirement would be a better idea?
Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts and God bless you and your family now and always.
Dear Mr. Kim,
Thank you very much for your efforts to obtain justice for our son. There was no way that we could have compiled enough information on our son to exonerate him. Without your assistance, he might have been a casualty of the justice system instead of a success. You are a very compassionate man who is willing to go the extra mile to help your fellow man. Our son’s story could have had an unhappy ending if not for your tireless dedication. God bless you.
Dear Mr. Kim,
I want to thank you for all the tireless work and information you provided to us in the matter of J.C., Jr. We know God placed you in our path. We have little money but our faith is strong. We will keep you in our prayers.
I thank you again,
I have worked in law enforcement for more than 20 years. For 3 years, I was assigned to Court Services Bureau for the largest Sheriff’s Department in the United States. This means I was assigned to various courtrooms as a Bailiff. As a member of a Superior Court staff, I have dealt with many attorneys and law firms. I do not believe you will find a more caring, compassionate, educated, experienced or professional attorney than Mr. Paul Takakjian.
