Getting Legal Help in Newport Beach

Newport Beach is famous for Crystal Cove State Park, Balboa Island, the Huntington Beach Pier, and other attractions. Locals know the inside scoop on Mama D’s Italian Kitchen, Cappy’s Cafe, the Beachcomber Cafe, and other popular restaurants. Whether you are interested in the Orange County Museum of Art or the Lyon Air Museum, there are plenty of things to do in the area.

Unfortunately, sometimes residents in Newport Beach can end up getting in trouble with the law from time to time. A fun weekend with friends can possibly lead to DUI cases and drug charges. Whether this is your first-time felony defense or your fifth misdemeanor charge, a talented lawyer can help your case reach a favorable resolution.

What Can a Criminal Defense Attorney Help With?

Your criminal defense lawyer can help with many different types of cases. Additionally, many defendants are charged with more than one crime. If you are dealing with a sex-crime defense or one of the following charges, a talented lawyer can help.

  • Drug charges: If you lose your drug case, you can end up spending years in prison.
  • Violent crimes: Violent crimes often rely on witness testimony, which is notoriously unreliable. Your attorney can investigate different ways to challenge the prosecution’s testimony.
  • DUI cases: Making a mistake by driving under the influence should not lead to a lifetime of repercussions.
  • Sex-crime defenses: If you are convicted of a sex crime, you can end up on a registry after you have already served your prison time.
  • Fraud and identity theft: Fraud and identity theft are broad terms for common crimes. To protect yourself from overzealous prosecutors, you need someone who understands the law.
  • White-collar crimes: White-collar crimes might not cause physical injuries, but they can still lead to years in prison and a lifetime of repercussions.

How Can an Attorney Help?

The American legal system is incredibly complex. Even a first-time felony defense involves a massive amount of paperwork, evidence, and witness testimony. Unless you have spent years practicing law as an attorney, you need an experienced criminal defense lawyer to help you prepare your case and fight aggressively for your rights.

An Orange County criminal defense lawyer like Scott C. Thomas can help with DUI cases, drug charges, and similar cases. If you are convicted, you could spend years in prison and have a criminal record that follows you around forever. Whether you are dealing with a first-time felony defense or a sex crime defense, your attorney can help you prepare your legal case.
