When you are charged or even being investigated for a crime in Torrance, everything can change. With over 7,000 criminal cases handled, no one knows that fact better than Board Certified Criminal Law Specialist Pat Carey. In his 8+ years working with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Pat Carey saw it all. After serving as a prosecutor, he left the DA’s office and became a privately retained attorney focusing on criminal defense. He brought his knowledge of everything prosecution to put forward the best possible defense for his clients, and most specifically has focused his criminal defense practice in Manhattan Beach. He has not only the experience, but Pat has also trained Law Enforcement agencies and new prosecutors during his tenure with the D.A.’s Office. He has mastered the art of negotiation for his clients, and when your case cannot be settled Pat is relentless at trial. His trial experience is unmatched by his competitors given his experience in the DA’s office.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO IMMEDIATELY WORK WITH A DEFENSE ATTORNEY?
It is prudent to seek legal advice as soon as possible if you suspect that you may soon be charged with a crime. Prosecutors could already be building a case against you, and you must be proactive in protecting your rights. Early participation in an investigation will generally result in a stronger and more organized defense strategy. Leveraging local relationships can also put a stop to charges before they are brought against you. If this is not possible, strategic negotiations can result in a lesser charge or a favorable plea deal. Our Torrance criminal defense attorney will evaluate and pursue all available legal options before and after criminal charges are filed.
