Vandalism

California Penal Code Section 594 criminalizes vandalism.  If the amount of damage you are accused of having caused is less than $400, you will be charged with misdemeanor vandalism; if it is above that amount, however, you are facing a felony charge. Vandalism is not something to handle lightly and it is not recommended that you represent yourself in something as serious.  You require the services of an aggressive, experienced and knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer.

Domestic Violence

Domestic Violence may be charged as a felony.  It is often possible to get charges reduced to misdemeanors or dismissed entirely.  Contact a Los Angeles defense attorney today at the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein for advice regarding your case.

Drug Possession

Possession of drugs for personal use in California is a criminal offense. The gravity of the offense (whether it will be charged as a felony or misdemeanor) depends on the type of drug you are accused of having possessed. Being in possession of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, or designer drugs will typically result felony charges. Marijuana (cannabis) possession will usually incur misdemeanor charges. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have a combined experience of more than 50 years defending persons accused of drug possession for personal use.

DUI Defense

If you are found guilty of DUI in California, you could be facing jail time and your driver's license will be suspended. You will be fined and may have to attend an alcohol education program. At the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein, we have defended thousands of clients accused of driving under the influence in court and have been able to negotiate reasonable settlements. Our Los Angeles DUI lawyers are at the criminal courthouses in Los Angeles and Orange County every day, defending our clients. Don't wait to contact a Los Angeles DUI attorney.

Theft Charges

Petty theft, shoplifting, grand theft, embezzlement, identity theft and burglary are all crimes that could end in a jail sentence.  These offenses can also be reduced to misdemeanors.  Talk with a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer (Torrance criminal defense lawyer, South Bay criminal defense lawyer) at the Law Offices of McGregor & Ernenwein for advice regarding your theft case.

Weapons Charges

You can be arrested for carrying a firearm in public or in your vehicle.  Police officers often make arrests as felony charges, but it is possible to get your charges reduced.  Contact a Los Angeles criminal lawyer (Torrance Criminal Defense Lawyer, South Bay Criminal Defense lawyer) to find out how to avoid a felony charge.

Pre-Filing Investigations

If you’ve been arrested for a crime but have not yet been charged with a crime, you may be anxious and worried about what happens next. The anxiety of impending charges can be terrifying and overwhelming. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have a combined experience of more than 50 years conducting pre-filing investigations.

Warrant Recall

Imagine having to look over your shoulder or shuddering every time you see a police officer or a patrol car, fearing that you might be arrested at a moment’s notice. If you believe you have committed a crime, or are under suspicion for it, or if you failed to make a court appearance, there may an outstanding warrant for your arrest.
But there is hope. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have a combined experience of more than 50 years having warrants "recalled and quashed" for our clients.

Housing Violations

If you are a property owner or landlord who has been accused of a Los Angeles housing violation, you need to contact a defense lawyer immediately. You could be criminally prosecuted and may have your rents forfeited if you are found to be in violation of the Los Angeles Municipal Code.

Three Strikes Law

Under the "Three Strikes" law, a conviction for a felony or violent crime can result in a "strike" on a person's criminal record. With each strike, the sentencing consequences for a defendant will increase dramatically. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have over half a century of combined criminal defense experience. They are knowledgeable and skillful and fighting off strike convictions for our clients.

Hit and Run

If you were involved in an car accident and failed to stop at the scene, it is likely (after an investigation identifying you as the driver) that you will be arrested and brought up on “hit-and-run” charges.  If death or serious injury was involved, the charges will be elevated to felony status, subjecting you to possible lengthy incarceration and heavy civil penalties.
But don't despair: we can defend you.  Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have a combined experience of more than 50 years defending persons accused of hit and run (California Vehicle Code section 20002).

Murder

Arguably the most serious accusation you can face in California, a murder charge can change your life forever. Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.  If you are convicted of murder, you may be imprisoned for 25 years to life (without the possibility of parole).  Because the death penalty has not been abolished in California, you can be sentenced to death. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers have over half a century of combined criminal defense experience on their side. They are "Super Lawyers" and Robert Ernenwein is a board certified criminal law specialist.  Hire an experienced, knowledgeable criminal defense law firm that will fight for you: hire McGregor & Ernenwein.

Expungements

Don't let the stain of a criminal conviction haunt you for the rest of your life.  Having a criminal record can be an anchor in your life, stopping you from getting that job that you want, or securing or keeping a business or professional license. Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers will go to court on your behalf to seek the expungement of your criminal record.

Driving with A Suspended License

Driving with a suspended or revoked license is not a trivial matter. It can have devastating consequences, including jail time, significant fines, and a stain on your driving and criminal records. It can also lead to you being classified as a "habitual driving offender," which can lead to the revocation of your driving privilege in California. Our Los Angeles criminal defense law firm has a combined experience of over half a century defending persons accused driving with a suspended or revoked license.

Assault & Battery

A single and unforeseen incident, like a bar fight, road rage or other altercation involving the infliction of physical blows, can change your life forever.  Assault and battery charges are extremely serious, and can include incarceration in the county jail or state prison.  It can also devastate your chances of keeping or securing employment.  When you have been charged with assault and battery, there is only one Los Angeles criminal defense law firm to call: McGregor & Ernenwein.  With over half a century of criminal defense experience, a board certified criminal law specialist, and the designation of "Super Lawyers," our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers will fight aggressively to obtain the acquittal or pretrial dismissal or reduction of your charges.

Criminal Threats

If you issued a threatening communication in person, by phone, e-mail, text message, facebook or other electronic means, you may be facing charges for Criminal Threats.  In the midst of a growing zero tolerance stance towards "cyber bullying," Criminal Threats charges are very serious and can expose you to incarceration in county jail, state prison, lengthy probation, fines and post-conviction consequences such as loss of employment and the social stigma of a criminal record.  Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers, who are former Los Angeles prosecutors, are considered "Super Lawyers." Robert Ernenwein is a board certified criminal law specialist.  Let us represent you and fight for you.

Sex Crimes

If you are charged with a sex crime, such as rape, child molestation, prostitution or sex with a minor, you face serious consequences.
