WHEN YOU NEED A LOS ANGELES CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER…
There is nothing more disturbing than getting charged with a crime. When you
feel the cuffs clinch around your wrists and hear that you’re under arrest, a
whole system starts working against you to destroy your life.
Fortunately, we live in a nation of laws and all people are guaranteed certain
legal rights in this country. One of them is right to an attorney. Your first
step after an arrest is to contact a qualified Los Angeles criminal lawyer like
the team at Manshoory Law Group.
To benefit from our aggressive strategies and representation:
Call (877) 671-4254
FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE SYSTEM
With Manshoory Law Group, APC, on your side, you can trust that we will use
creative methods and a zealous attitude to pursue the best possible result for
your case. We are fully committed to our clients and to their needs, whether
they have been charged with a minor crime or one with the potential of changing
their lives forever. No matter what your crime, we are the Los Angeles criminal
defense attorneys you need to handle your case.
A defense attorney does more than just defend your legal rights. A criminal
defense lawyer’s job is to keep the system honest. If they make a mistake, a
criminal defense lawyer points it out and does its utmost to prove that it
throws the whole case in doubt. That’s why we undergo so much training and fight
so diligently on behalf of our clients.
But if you do not have a Los Angeles criminal lawyer on your side in the
courtroom, you’re at the mercy of the court. You do not know all of the tricks
the prosecution can pull. You do not know what is a good deal and what is a poor
deal. A Los Angeles criminal defense attorney is your greatest ally in the
courtroom. If you have been charged with a crime, we urge you to contact us
immediately. The sooner our criminal lawyers can get to work, the better your
chances will be.
YOUR FIRST STEPS AFTER ARREST
Many people do not know what happens after an arrest or when they should call a
lawyer. The best time to call a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney is as soon
as possible after your arrest. Here’s why.
The police have certain legal responsibilities, including reading your rights
and sticking to the stringent rules regarding arresting people. A defense
attorney will know whether or not these rules have been stuck to, and if not,
they may be able to help you to exercise your rights.
You will usually be booked, and have a constitutional right to a speedy trial,
your lawyer can advise you on what you should or should not participate in, for
instance, if you are asked to provide a handwriting sample you may not have to.
Lawyers will protect your right to only be detained for a reasonable time. If
not, the attorney can ask for a writ of habeas corpus which orders the police to
bring you before the court, to see if you are being detained under the law or
actually free to go.
THE CRIMINAL COMPLAINT
The first major step after arrest is for the state to decide whether or not to
file a criminal complaint. The officers will decide whether they have enough
evidence to make a case. If they do, they will forward that information on to
the District Attorney (DA). It is the DA that decides whether or not to file the
complaint.
If you can contact a Los Angeles criminal lawyer before this point, they can
talk with the people involved to try and convince them that they don’t have
enough evidence to move forward, along with several other legal strategies.
It’s important to note that if you are held in custody, the DA must make a
decision within 48 hours. However, if you know you’re under investigation then
they have the right to make a decision for up to one year in misdemeanor cases
and for longer periods based on what they are investigating you for.
BAIL
Depending on your alleged charges, you may be let go and ordered to appear in
court later. You may also have to pay bail to get let out, or in some cases held
until your arraignment. The first thing you should do when you get released from
jail is to contact a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney and build a strategy
for your defense.
Bail is commonly misunderstood, and a defense attorney can properly explain the
process to you as well as try to ensure that your bail is set at a fair amount.
Bail is not a fee for temporary release, it is usually money that is held by the
court until the legal proceedings have been carried out. It is a way to try and
ensure that a defendant shows up to recover this money.
Without the bail system, many innocent people would have to sit and wait in a
jail cell until their trial, which can cause all manner of issues. A defense
attorney can help to negotiate bail and minimize time spent in cells.
FACING ARRAIGNMENT WITH A CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY
If the DA moves forward, an arraignment will be scheduled and you will be
notified. The arraignment is when your charges are read to you and you are asked
to make a plea. The DA has an obligation to do this within 72 hours under the
Sixth Amendment. If not, you may be able to argue that your constitutional
rights have been violated. Just because you have been arrested, doesn’t mean you
do not have rights as a US citizen. It is crucial that you have a Los Angeles
criminal lawyer before this point to advise you on what to do at this critical
point.
Arraignment will require you to enter an initial plea, either guilty, not
guilty, or no contest. This initial plea can be used throughout your court case,
and there is a strategy to making the plea at this stage, which you should
always consult a lawyer on.
ACHIEVEMENTS
OUR CLIENT’S SUCCESS STORIES
PEOPLE V. I. C. – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Our client was arrested for Domestic Violence, known as PC 273.5. At the initial
court date, the District Attorney told us that our client would spend time in
jail no matter what. Our firm’s attorney’s gathered witness statements and
assessed the case in detail. After countless meetings with the District
Attorney’s Office, we were able to have the case completely dropped.
PEOPLE V. P.M. – DUI
Our client was arrested for DUI. He was incredibly worried that a conviction
would cost him his job. Our team tirelessly negotiated with the District
Attorney and was able to get the case dropped without even appearing in court.
Afterwards our firm was able to seal and destroy the client’s arrest record.
PEOPLE V. P.R. – DUI
Our client was arrested for DUI and was told that if he sustained a conviction,
he could be deported from the United States. Our team filed a SERNA motion,
attempting to have the case dismissed due to an unreasonable delay caused by the
prosecutor’s office. The motion was successful, and the client’s case was
dismissed.
PEOPLE V. J.M. – ASSAULT W/ A DEADLY WEAPON, MULTIPLE GUN/DRUG CHARGES
Our client was arrested for Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Negligent Discharge of
a Firearm as well as multiple drug charges. The case had spanned multiple court
hearings and the District Attorney’s Office wanted client to plead to a strike
and serve three years in prison. Our attorneys were able to get the case
dismissed at Preliminary Hearing for lack of evidence.

Manshoory Law Group is a lifesaver. An ex made a false DV claim against me, and
Mr Manshoory and his team supported me from start to finish, gathering all the
facts and protecting me from any more of her nonsense. The case was dismissed in
my favor. Totally happy in my experience with Manshoory Law Group.

I was very new to this legal world and didn’t even understand a lot of my
paperwork, from the moment I called in I was given a free consultation that
explained every part of my case and what could happen and what would be done. It
was free then and even before I signed up I spoke with them many times and I
always had my questions answered. I felt heard and understood and like nobody
was judging me for not understanding. When I signed up it continued, they called
me and updated me often and my attorney got me such a great deal. I have never
hired another law group before but I can say this was incredible service and Mr.
Manshoory is doing an incredible job with his firm. I will recommend to anybody
I know who needs legal help.

FAQ
DO YOU NEED A LAWYER IF YOU ARE GOING TO PLEAD GUILTY?
Yes.
You should have an attorney before you plead guilty. Before you enter a plea,
you have bargaining power that can be used to reduce the charges against you or
even change your please to “no contest” which has different ramifications.
Never give up your rights without knowing all your options, even if you are
guilty. An attorney may find loopholes or weaknesses in the case that will work
to your advantage. Once you plead guilty, you lose many of your rights and
leverage you could have used to reduce the charges or even have them dismissed.
An attorney will know how to request a plea bargain that you’re likely to get
which will reduce the penalties or time you’ll serve. If your actions harmed
someone, a guilty plea may allow them to win a civil suit against you on top of
the criminal charges.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FELONY AND A MISDEMEANOR CHARGE?
Yes.
Misdemeanor charges are considered minor in comparison to felonies although some
misdemeanors are serious, such as DUIs. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to one
year in jail, fines of up to $1,000, community service, and various types of
rehabilitation programs to address substance abuse and anger control problems.
Felonies carry harsher penalties and are subject to the three strikes law
discussed later.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A DISMISSAL AND AN EXPUNGEMENT?
California allows a defendant who has fulfilled the conditions of probation,
whether by the lapse of time or due to early dismissal, the possibility of
petitioning for a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon. The defendant is not
allowed to do this if they are currently charged with a crime, on probation for
another crime, or serving a sentence for another crime. If the defendant’s
petition is granted, the record will be expunged.
Although California Penal Code 1203.4 describes the process, it is complicated
and best done with the assistance of an experienced criminal attorney.

Misdemeanor and Felony Consequences
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER?
Your criminal defense attorney should have experience defending clients in
criminal cases that go to trial and be able to negotiate and investigate on your
behalf to provide you with the best possible legal defense.
Your attorney should have time to assist you with your case and gather
information that will aid your case. Experience defending clients in the same
court where your trial will be held is preferred. This includes professional
relationships with judges, so they know how the judge is likely to rule on
various issues that may come up during the trial.
SHOULD I REPRESENT MYSELF IN A CRIMINAL CASE?
No. Even attorneys use an attorney in the rare situation when they are charged
with a crime. If you represent yourself, you are held to the same standards that
your attorney would be held to – standards it is very difficult for a layperson
to live up to.
The law is complex and a defendant who represents themselves will often overlook
opportunities that an experienced criminal defense attorney would use to reduce
the charges or even have the case dismissed. The consequences of a mistake can
cost you your freedom and significant financial penalties.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CASE GOES TO TRIAL?
A trial begins with jury selection and ends with a verdict. In between these two
steps, evidence is presented by the prosecuting and defense attorney, witnesses
testify, and the judge makes decisions about the admissibility of evidence and
testimonies.
If you are out on bail, you are required to be in court every day of your trial.
If you are incarcerated, you will be transported to the courthouse for your
trial.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM FALSELY ACCUSED OF A CRIME?
Being falsely accused of a crime is not a situation you should take lightly. The
potential for an adverse outcome is serious. The sooner you hire a defense
attorney to work on your behalf, the better situated you will be to prevail.
First, do not talk to law enforcement other than to request an attorney.
Although you know you’re innocent, when you’re charged with a crime, they
already believe you are guilty. Get an attorney.
CAN I GET MY RECORDS SEALED? WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
If you are arrested, it creates a criminal record even if the District Attorney
never files charges. Such records may show up in background checks conducted by
potential employers.
Under specific situations, you have the right to have your record sealed, which
allows you to answer “no” to employment questions about a criminal background.
Since we never know when an opportunity will be lost as the result of a
background check showing an arrest without a conviction, it is important to seal
any record that can be sealed.
DO YOU HAVE FREE CONSULTATIONS?
We offer something better than a free consultation. We provide a free case
analysis. Contact us today at (877) 671-4254 to begin the process.
HOW LONG WILL THE PROCESS BE?
A defendant has the right to a speedy trial in California. Once arraigned, the
case should go to trial quickly per California Penal Code 1382.
Arraignment Trial Misdemeanor 10 days 30 – 45 days Misdemeanor (in
custody) 48 hours 30 – 45 days Felony Weeks or months 60 days Felony (in
custody) 48 hours 60 days
WHAT ARE MY MIRANDA RIGHTS?
The Miranda rights include:
* The right to remain silent.
* To be advised that anything you say may be used against you.
* You have a right to an attorney during questioning.
* An attorney will be provided for you if you cannot afford one.
If the police do not need to interrogate you to build a case against you, they
do not have to give you a Miranda warning. The warning is required before they
question you. Do not respond to questions after your rights are read to you
without your attorney being present.
WHAT IS CALIFORNIA’S THREE STRIKES LAW?
Felonies are serious crimes. In California, felonies are even more serious than
similar crimes in other states because of enhanced punishments for some types of
felonies and for multiple felony convictions. Under the “one strike rule,”
certain sex crimes receive enhanced sentences for the first felony. Under the
“three strike rule,” second felony convictions receive sentences two times
longer than the same crime receives for a first offense. Third convictions for
violent offenses require a mandatory 25 to life sentence.
IF I AM CONVICTED OF A CRIME WHILE I AM IN THE UNITED STATES LEGALLY, CAN I BE
DEPORTED?
Yes.
Immigrants to the United States may lose their ability to remain in the country
if they are convicted of or plead guilty to certain crimes. Immigration laws
require immigrants to be upstanding members of the community. As a result,
departures from this behavior, including crimes of moral turpitude that might
not have serious consequences for a citizen, can result in deportation. Crimes
ranging from driving under the influence, possession, fraud, larceny, intended
harm to persons or property, spousal abuse, assault, and more serious crimes can
all lead to deportation.
WHAT IS AN ARRAIGNMENT?
An arraignment is a court proceeding where the criminal charges against a
defendant are read and the defendant enters a plea (guilty, not guilty, nolo
contendere, etc.).
WHAT IS BAIL?
Bail is set by the judge during the period of time before a trial. It may
require a monetary bond or other pre-trial restrictions that must be met in
order for the defendant to be released until the trial.
An experienced criminal defense attorney can help you make the best of a bad
situation.
