Torrance Criminal Trial Attorney

Providing Experienced Representation in The Courtroom When It Matters Most

Trial experience matters when it comes to criminal cases because an attorney unfamiliar with courtroom proceedings or tactics may not be adequately prepared to advocate on your behalf. An experienced trial attorney knows how prosecutors build cases and can anticipate how best to navigate the trial process and address issues as they arise. It is important for anyone facing criminal charges to hire an attorney who has extensive knowledge of the law and experience trying cases in court.

What Happens When a Case Goes to Trial? 

A defendant facing criminal charges can expect a series of steps to occur during their trial. At the beginning of the process, formal documents will be presented to jurors providing an overview of the defendant's charges. Next, both sides will present evidence and witness testimonies that support or refute each claim. After both sides have presented their case, jurors are asked to reach a verdict or send the case back for further deliberation. The court may then decide on sentencing based on factors such as severity and intent of crime, if applicable. After the sentencing phase, defendants may file appeals as well as review options for post-conviction relief, depending on their circumstances.

 Each county in California follows its own set of regulations and policies, which require special consideration from defense attorneys when preparing for a trial. In addition to California laws, procedures and statutes can impact the outcome of a case, like criminal sentencing guidelines, mandatory minimums, and plea-bargaining rules. With so much on the line, it's important to work with an experienced criminal trial attorney who is familiar with the regulations and laws that apply to Los Angeles County and California courts. 

Criminal Trial Proceedings

If you have been assigned a court date to defend against criminal charges in Torrance, CA, the judicial process that results after an individual is charged with a criminal offense is a criminal trial. During the proceedings, a jury of citizens considers the evidence presented by the government and the defense and determines if the accused person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The prosecution must prove their case beyond any offered reasonable doubt presented by the defense. If a defendant is found guilty, the court will move to a sentencing phase where the offender, according to California law and based on factors such as the severity of the crime and the intent of the accusation, will be told the penalties for their crime. It is important for those facing criminal charges in Torrance to seek legal advice from an experienced attorney who can help protect their rights and ensure justice is served appropriately.
