Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney | Trial-Ready Defense

When you or someone you love is facing criminal charges in Los Angeles County, you’re stepping into one of the largest and most complex court systems in the nation. The stakes are high, prosecutors are aggressive, and one mistake could affect your freedom, your reputation, and your future.

At Poseidon Defense A.P.C., we represent clients across every major courthouse in Los Angeles County — from the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center (CJC) downtown to the Van Nuys, Airport, Beverly Hills, and Long Beach courthouses.

Our firm provides elite-level criminal defense for both state and federal cases, combining trial experience with strategic negotiation to achieve the best possible outcome.

Whether you were arrested near the beaches of Santa Monica, in Burbank after a misunderstanding, or during a traffic stop near Norwalk, we know how each courthouse operates — and how to tailor your defense for that environment.

Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers handle every category of criminal charge, from misdemeanors to serious felonies. We also intervene before charges are filed, when possible, to stop cases early.

If you’re under investigation in Los Angeles, pre-filing intervention may prevent formal charges altogether.
Our attorneys communicate directly with Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Offices — in Van Nuys, Long Beach, Alhambra, and Beverly Hills — to present evidence and mitigate the case before filing.

In many cases, early intervention leads to no charges, a reduction to an infraction, or diversion instead of prosecution.

• Local Court Experience: We appear regularly in the CJC, Van Nuys, Metropolitan, Norwalk, Airport, and San Fernando courthouses.
   
• Strategic Defense Planning: Every case receives a customized approach — negotiation when it’s smart, trial when it’s necessary.
   
• Client Communication: You work directly with your attorney — not a case manager or assistant.
   
• Reputation for Results: Prosecutors know our firm for preparedness and persistence.
   

Our goal is simple: protect your rights, your record, and your future.
