Carjacking Defense Lawyer in Los Angeles

Defending carjacking cases is extremely important for the accused; their lives will be forever altered if convicted. As this is considered a violent crime, it comes under the California "three strikes" law and if the accused individual has prior convictions they could be facing up to 25 years in state prison. It is crucial that you have a defense lawyer that is dedicated to fighting aggressively to defend the charge. The legal team at the firm will carefully and fully analyze the evidence, and seek out any error or flaw to exploit in the defense strategy for the client.

It is vital that the accused individual refrains from answering any questions from law enforcement or other investigators about the case until the attorney arrives to ensure that they do not make statements when under stress that could damage the case. Many individuals have made statements when under police pressure that they later regretted, and the rule is to stay silent until the attorney from the firm arrives to manage the situation. The lawyer from the firm will carefully construct a defense case for the client and seek out every possible defense opportunity to fight to avoid the severe penalties that could be imposed under law.
