We represent our clients in all cases that are charged under the various California and Federal criminal codes. Some are in the Penal Code, others in the Health and Safety Code, still others in a city or county code.
Many fear the power of the Federal Government more than the State. Sometimes, they should. Prosecutions brought under Federal law often have substantially harsher penalties available to a sentencing judge.
