For more than 30 years our skilled DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys in Los Angeles and San Diego have helped thousands of clients facing misdemeanor and felony charges. Our firm has extensive experience representing clients at arraignments, pre-trial hearings and preliminary hearings.
The knowledgeable defense attorneys at Hoffman & Associates know that the sooner we begin preparing a defense after an arrest, the more likely we are to succeed in obtaining a dismissal for our client. The most critical element to winning a case is thorough preparation, which begins the moment that you retain our office to represent you. We begin to prepare your defense by contacting the prosecutor immediately.
Because of our years of experience defending clients against many types of charges, we understand how important it is to be proactive in the defense of our clients. For example, we may suggest a client facing DUI charges begin a counseling or rehabilitation program before the prosecutor files charges. This action would serve a dual purpose of potentially changing the perception of the prosecutor and also breaking a negative cycle of behavior for the client.
Negotiations and settlements are a big part of the criminal justice system. Contrary to popular belief, very few cases actually go to trial because the majority of cases are settled once both sides agree on a good offer. The experienced DUI and Criminal Defense Attorneys at Hoffman & Associates are not only familiar with the prosecutors, judges, and court staff, but they can also help clients assess whether a deal that is being offered is fair or should be turned down.
Before you hire a DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney do the proper research and ask about the attorney's experience and knowledge in the courtroom where your case will be heard. Having an attorney by your side with substantial knowledge and experience may make the difference between having your case reduced or dismissed. The attorneys at Hoffman & Associates are proud of their excellent reputation in the legal community.
