Pasadena Criminal Defense Lawyer

Arrested or charged in Los Angeles, Orange County or San Bernardino?

One of the most important choices you can make is who will defend you in court. It is well-recognized that the skill of your attorney will greatly influence the outcome of your case, no matter how serious the charges. Our legal team at The Law Offices of Paul S. Geller has deep insight into the criminal justice system, and our lead attorney served as a Deputy District Attorney, allowing him to prepare cases with full knowledge of the best way to operate on both sides of the aisle. Our approach in criminal cases is aggressive and unrelenting, and we have gained the reputation of an accomplished legal team with an impressive record in criminal cases in Pasadena and surrounding courts.

Taking immediate action and contacting a Pasadena criminal defense lawyer is one of the most important things you can do if you have been contacted by law enforcement in connection with a criminal investigation, have been accused of a crime or have been called in for formal questioning. In any situation where you are dealing with the police and there is even a chance that they believe you have committed a crime, you will benefit from having an attorney by your side to protect your legal rights. The police must observe your constitutional rights in any stage of a criminal case. Your attorney can help ensure that they do not infringe upon your rights in any way - and this may serve to limit the scope of the investigation against you or the impact that questioning has on your case. An unrepresented arrestee or suspect is far more likely to confess or provide information during interrogation by state or federal law enforcement.

Even in cases that seem stacked in the prosecution's favor, you may have the opportunity to avoid a conviction or even have your charges dismissed entirely. Make sure you have an aggressive criminal lawyer in your corner who understands how to strategically approach even the most complex criminal cases to seek the most advantageous result on your behalf.
