Criminal Defense

San Diego Criminal Defense 

Police and prosecutors know that most people are very vulnerable after an arrest. The police try to take advantage of this by walking into the room and proclaiming themselves as your friend.

If you made statements to the police or an prosecutor after your arrest, you might think it's too late to talk to a lawyer. It's not. Call The Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon in San Diego at (866)-920-8364, (619)-239-1511 or (619)-618-2906.

At the Law Offices of Shapiro & Clamon, we represent individuals in San Diego County and throughout the surrounding areas of Southern California who are under investigation or who have already been arrested for and charged with a criminal offense. We are an AV®-rated* law firm under Martindale-Hubbell's peer review rating system.

Our firm provides aggressive and effective state and federal criminal defense representation for a wide range of felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, including:

• DUI, drunk driving, or driving under the influence of drugs
• Domestic violence
• Assault and battery
• Drug possession/sales
• Burglary/theft
• Sex offenses
• Internet crime
• White collar crime
• Murder/homicide

Early Intervention Makes a Big Difference

If you've been arrested on one of these or another charge, what happens next is very important. In our opinion, the faster you get a lawyer working on the case, the easier it will be for him or her to limit the damage. Our criminal defense lawyers have decades of combined experience and a strong background in law enforcement. As a result, we can quickly evaluate what has already been said and done and give you a good idea of where you can go from here.

Early intervention can also help minimize effects on your reputation. If you were forced to add your name to a sex offender or other criminal registry, we may be able to get it removed.

Our Approach to Criminal Defense

Our talks with you will include an assessment of worst-case scenarios (often not as bad as clients fear), best-case scenarios and a range of more realistic ones. Which option we ultimately work toward will be a decision that you have to make — based on your own goals and level of comfort with what's involved. Some clients want to put the arrest behind them as quickly and as quietly as possible. Others, in fact, are innocent and desire vindication at any cost. We will do what is best for you.

You will not have to wonder who your attorney is or what he or she is doing to help you. We communicate with our criminal defense clients on a regular basis. We return calls and e-mails promptly. We never hedge on our commitment to you.
