State Crimes

Los Angeles Criminal Lawyers

Fear and uncertainty can set in if you have been charged with a crime at the state level. You need immediate representation to ensure that your constitutional rights are protected. At Jarvis & Krieger, we have aggressively and effectively advocated for our clients facing a variety of criminal charges.

Clients we have represented at Jarvis & Krieger have been accused of the following and other crimes:

• DUI
• Drug Possession
• Sex Crimes
• Manslaughter/Murder
• Arson
• Assault & Battery
• Rape
• Theft
• Weapons crimes

State drug crimes involve the possession, manufacture, or sale of illegal substances and any other illegal activity related to them within the confines of the state. Representative cases we have handled for clients have included sales and possession of methamphetamines (meth), cocaine, and marijuana. Our attorneys have also represented clients accused of prescription drug fraud, including fraud involving Oxy Contin.

While a DUI charge could result in an immediate loss of your license, a conviction could affect your right to drive and ability to make a living, as well as result in exorbitant insurance rates. While DUI cases present their own set of difficulties, we can often challenge various aspects of the arrest and test procedures.

Your constitutional rights need to be protected if you have been charged with a drug, alcohol-related, or violent crime. For a legal DUI arrest, there must have been probable cause in the initial traffic stop, and all testing procedures must be performed in accordance with relevant laws. For drug possession, all searches and seizures must be done legally or the evidence collected can be suppressed. Violent crimes carry serious penalties and require aggressive representation to get to the facts of the case.
