Santa Clara County Criminal Defense Lawyer Combats Violent Crime Charges

Current trends from the California Attorney General indicate that violent crime rates have been steadily declining since 2000. Despite this fact, many innocent people have been wrongly arrested for violent crimes. California imposes some of the harshest penalties for violent crime offenders. But many are penalized for acts that were not necessarily their fault or doing. Unfortunately, due to mis-identification, untruthful witnesses or inaccurate reports, innocent people can be charged and convicted of violent offenses.

Prosecutors are often committed to the law enforcement perspective. They are focused on using police reports and other evidence against you to obtain a conviction.
