San Gabriel Valley Criminal Defense Attorney

Aggressive Criminal Defense in the San Gabriel Valley

When you have been arrested and charged with a crime, come to the Law Offices of Richard M. Sudar for aggressive representation. The courts in our area are tough on criminal offenders, and you are at risk of being sent to jail or prison, fined or placed on a strict probation. A conviction could have serious repercussions throughout your life, and it would go on your criminal record, potentially making it difficult for you to find suitable employment. Facing criminal charges can be an intimidating and stressful experience, one which you should not have to live through alone. You deserve help, and a San Gabriel Valley criminal defense attorney with experience as a former Deputy District Attorney for L.A. County, is ready to meet with you for a consultation.

With over 14 years of criminal defense experience, our firm is respected by prosecutors and judges for our toughness, integrity, honesty, and ability to get our clients the absolute best possible results. We will stand by you throughout this difficult experience and advise you of your options as the case progresses. You will not have to wonder what you should do at any point, since your attorney will be available to answer your questions. When you have been charged with a misdemeanor such as DUI, hit & run or domestic violence, or if you face felony charges for possession with intent to distribute, murder or vehicular manslaughter, your future may be at stake, and we will fight to defend your rights. If you are charged with a violent crime, our state's notoriously harsh Three Strikes law may come into play. Crimes such as rape, robbery and burglary can lead to a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. Even if this is your first arrest, it is crucial to avoid accumulating strikes. The penalties for federal crimes can also be especially harsh, as in serious drug crimes and white collar crimes such as credit card fraud, internet crimes, embezzlement and identity theft. A conviction for sex crimes including sex with a minor may lead to mandatory sex offender registration.

Charged with a crime in the San Gabriel Valley?

It is not advisable to discuss the charges against you with anyone but an attorney, as you are at risk of making self-incriminating statements. Whether you are charged with a traffic offense, a juvenile crime, arson, a theft crime, criminal threats, kidnapping or assault, you must remember that the prosecutor and the police are intent on having you convicted, and you should not make the mistake of thinking that if you are cooperative and polite they will be lenient in seeking a sentence against you. We will support you throughout the process of your defense. You can also seek our help if you have already been convicted and want to pursue an expungement or if you face penalties for a probation violation. No matter what crime you are being accused of committing, you can dramatically increase your chances of a successful outcome by getting our help as early as possible.
