Criminal Defense

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence charges are very serious. Convicted offenders may face jail or prison time, substantial fines, restraining orders, probation, child custody restrictions, and a permanent mark on their criminal record. Some potential charges in a domestic violence case include violations of Penal Code Sections 273.5, 243(e), 245, and 422.

Additionally, a conviction for domestic violence can adversely impact your future ability to obtain employment, access educational opportunities, secure housing, and more. We understand what is at stake, and we know how to advocate for your rights, your future, and your freedom.

Drug Crimes

Drug crimes encompass a wide range of offenses involving illegal substances, including possession, sale, manufacturing, and distribution. These offenses violate federal and/or state laws, which are continually evolving and strictly enforced. Depending on the specific circumstances, a drug arrest and charge can lead to a wide range of criminal and administrative consequences, including probation, property forfeiture, imprisonment, and participation in a court-ordered drug treatment program.

That is why it is important to retain an experienced criminal attorney to defend you against these charges. Early intervention can significantly alter the course of your case.

DMV Hearings

This is a hearing conducted by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) regarding license suspension and revocation for the alleged DUI or DWI. The DMV has the authority to take your driving privileges away, regardless of what occurs in your criminal case — the DMV license suspension hearing is a separate proceeding. After the DUI arrest, you are given a 10-day period to request a hearing and if this is not done, your license can be automatically suspended. That is why it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who is familiar with how these hearings are conducted and what can be done to protect your driver’s license and legal right to operate a vehicle.

Driving on the suspended license

Once a person’s driver’s license is suspended, they are strictly forbidden from operating any vehicle. Driving with a suspended license is considered a criminal offense. In California, the penalties for driving with a suspended license depend on the reason for the suspension and the number of previous violations.

For the State of California to charge someone with driving on a suspended or revoked license, the prosecutor must prove that the individual was driving a motor vehicle while their license was indeed suspended or revoked. Furthermore, the prosecutor must show that the person knew at the time that their driving privileges in California were suspended or revoked. The most common cause of suspension is an arrest or conviction for driving under the influence (DUI), which leads to a license suspension.

Possible penalties for driving with a suspended license include:

A permanent criminal record

Mandatory jail time for certain types of suspensions

Fines ranging from $300 to $2,000, plus additional fees

Informal or formal probation

Installation of an ignition interlock device

Elder Abuse

Elder abuse can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. Penal Code Section 368 states that a person who knows, or reasonably should know, that a person is an elder or dependent adult, and who, under circumstances or conditions likely to produce great bodily harm or death, willfully causes or permits any elder or dependent adult to suffer, inflicts thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or, having the care or custody of any elder or dependent adult, willfully causes or permits the person or health of the elder or dependent adult to be injured, or willfully causes or permits the elder or dependent adult to be placed in a situation in which their person or health is endangered. “Elder” means a person who is 65 years of age or older. If you or a loved one is facing elder abuse charges, it is imperative to have an experienced defense attorney to protect your rights in court.

Expungements

A past mistake should not define your future. An expungement can clear your criminal record and open doors to employment, housing, and professional opportunities.

If you have completed probation or fulfilled your sentence, you may qualify to have your conviction dismissed under California law.

---

What Is an Expungement?

Under California Penal Code § 1203.4, eligible individuals may petition the court to:

• Withdraw a plea of guilty or no contest
• Have the conviction dismissed
• Update the record to reflect the dismissal

While an expungement does not completely erase the record, it significantly improves how the conviction appears on background checks.

---

Who Qualifies for an Expungement?

You may qualify if:

• You successfully completed probation (formal or informal),
• You were not sentenced to state prison (with certain exceptions under realignment),
• You are not currently charged with a new offense, and
• You are not serving a sentence for another case.

Some offenses require additional analysis, and certain serious crimes may not be eligible.

---

Benefits of Expungement

An expungement can:

• Improve employment opportunities
• Allow you to legally state in many situations that you were not convicted
• Reduce stigma associated with a criminal record
• Help with professional licensing
• Strengthen immigration or housing applications

It demonstrates rehabilitation and closure.

---

What an Expungement Does Not Do

It does not:

• Restore firearm rights
• Eliminate the duty to register (if applicable)
• Completely seal or destroy the record
• Prevent use of the conviction in future sentencing

For some cases, record sealing under Penal Code § 851.91 (for arrests not resulting in conviction) may be available.

---

The Expungement Process

The process typically involves:

1. Filing a petition with the court
2. Providing proof of completion of probation
3. Attending a hearing (if required)
4. Court order granting dismissal

Having an attorney ensures the petition is properly prepared and presented to maximize approval.

---

Ready to Clear Your Record?

Your past does not have to control your future. If you are eligible for expungement in California, taking action now can create meaningful opportunities moving forward.

Gang Crimes

Gang crimes are offenses committed by members of criminal organizations, typically to further the gang’s activities or reputation. These crimes can include drug trafficking, weapons offenses, and violent crimes such as assault, robbery, and murder. Gang-related crimes can be prosecuted at both the state and federal levels, with penalties for conviction often including lengthy prison sentences and substantial fines.

At Logrue Law Firm, we possess the knowledge, experience, and dedication necessary to protect your rights in gang crime cases.

Gun Charges

Gun charges in California are aggressively prosecuted and carry severe consequences. A single allegation can result in felony exposure, loss of firearm rights, immigration consequences, and a permanent criminal record.

At The Logrue Law Firm, we approach firearm cases with precision, discretion, and strategic force. Early intervention is critical.

---

Common California Gun Charges

California has some of the strictest firearm laws in the country. Common charges include:

Carrying a Concealed Firearm – Penal Code § 25400

Carrying a concealed firearm on your person or in a vehicle without proper authorization. This may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the circumstances.

Carrying a Loaded Firearm in Public – Penal Code § 25850

It is generally illegal to carry a loaded firearm in public. Prior convictions can increase penalties significantly.

Felon in Possession of a Firearm – Penal Code § 29800

If you have a prior felony conviction, possession of a firearm is typically charged as a felony.

Possession of an Assault Weapon – Penal Code § 30605

California strictly regulates assault weapons and certain firearm modifications.

Firearm Enhancements – Penal Code § 12022.5 & § 12022.53

Allegations that a firearm was used in the commission of another offense can dramatically increase sentencing exposure.

---

Potential Penalties

Gun charges may result in:

• State prison sentences
• Felony convictions
• Strike offenses
• Loss of firearm rights
• Probation with strict conditions
• Immigration consequences
• Professional licensing issues

Firearm enhancements can add years — even decades — to a sentence.

---

Defenses to Gun Charges

Firearm cases often involve complex Fourth Amendment issues. A strategic defense may include:

• Challenging the legality of the stop or search
• Contesting probable cause
• Suppression of illegally obtained evidence
• Disputing knowledge or possession
• Investigating constructive possession claims
• Examining ballistic or forensic evidence

Many gun cases rise or fall on whether law enforcement acted lawfully.

---

Why Early Representation Matters

If you are under investigation or have been arrested for a gun-related offense:

• Do not consent to searches
• Do not make statements without counsel
• Do not attempt to “explain” your way out of the situation

Pre-filing intervention may prevent charges from being filed or reduce exposure before formal prosecution begins.

---

Strategic, Discreet Defense

At The Logrue Law Firm, we understand that firearm allegations carry not only legal consequences — but reputational ones. We provide strategic advocacy designed to protect your freedom, record, and future.

Gun charges demand immediate and calculated defense.

Hit and Run

Hit and run incidents happen when one or more individuals involved in a collision do not stop and instead leave the location without sharing the necessary driver information. These accidents can involve moving cars, parked vehicles, or even personal belongings. When a driver flees the scene of an accident, it is considered a criminal act. Under California Vehicle Code Section 20001, “The driver of a vehicle involved in an accident causing injury to someone other than themselves, or resulting in a person’s death, must immediately stop at the accident site.” Drivers are required to stop, provide their contact details, and offer reasonable help to anyone injured. Fleeing the scene of an accident that causes injury or death can lead to felony charges in California.

Homicide

Homicide charges represent the most serious allegations in the criminal justice system. The stakes are extraordinary — life imprisonment, decades in state prison, or permanent reputational damage.

When everything is on the line, the defense must be meticulous, strategic, and relentless.

At The Logrue Law Firm, we approach homicide cases with disciplined preparation, precision analysis, and unwavering advocacy.

---

Types of Homicide Charges in California

California law recognizes several forms of homicide, each carrying different elements and penalties.

Murder – Penal Code § 187

Murder is defined as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought.

• First-degree murder may involve premeditation, lying in wait, or felony murder.
• Second-degree murder involves malice but without premeditation.

Convictions may result in 15 years to life, 25 years to life, or life without parole depending on the circumstances.

---

Voluntary Manslaughter – Penal Code § 192(a)

A killing committed in the heat of passion or during a sudden quarrel, without malice.

---

Involuntary Manslaughter – Penal Code § 192(b)

An unintentional killing resulting from criminal negligence or during a lawful act performed unlawfully.

---

Vehicular Manslaughter – Penal Code § 192(c)

A death caused while operating a vehicle, often involving allegations of negligence or intoxication.

---

Aggravating Factors & Enhancements

Homicide cases often include additional allegations such as:

• Firearm enhancements
• Gang allegations
• Special circumstances (which may increase penalties to life without parole)

Each enhancement dramatically increases sentencing exposure.

---

Defending a Homicide Case

Homicide cases are complex and require immediate, comprehensive defense strategy. Critical issues often include:

• Self-defense or defense of others
• Lack of intent or malice
• Mistaken identity
• Faulty forensic evidence
• Unreliable witness testimony
• Constitutional violations

Early independent investigation is essential. Evidence must be preserved, experts retained, and witness accounts thoroughly examined.

---

Why Immediate Representation Is Critical

If you are under investigation for homicide:

• Do not speak to law enforcement without counsel
• Do not consent to searches without legal advice
• Do not attempt to explain the situation on your own

Early intervention can shape the direction of the case before formal charges are filed.

---

Strategic Defense When Everything Is at Stake

Homicide allegations demand discretion, intensity, and command of the law. The defense must anticipate the prosecution’s strategy while building a powerful, fact-driven case.

At The Logrue Law Firm, we understand that these cases affect not only freedom — but families, reputations, and futures.

When the stakes are life-altering, the defense must be uncompromising.

Juvenile Crimes

When a minor is accused of a crime, the stakes are different — but no less serious. A juvenile arrest can impact a child’s education, future opportunities, and even freedom. Early and strategic legal representation is critical.

If your child is facing charges in California juvenile court, immediate action can make a meaningful difference.

---

How the California Juvenile Justice System Works

Juvenile cases are typically handled in juvenile delinquency court, which focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment. However, serious offenses can still result in:

• Detention in juvenile hall
• Probation
• Court-ordered counseling or programs
• Community service
• Placement outside the home
• Transfer to adult court (in certain felony cases)

Under California Welfare & Institutions Code § 602, a minor who violates a criminal law may be declared a ward of the court.

---

Common Juvenile Charges in California

Juvenile cases often involve:

• Assault and battery
• Robbery
• Theft and burglary
• Drug possession or sales
• Vandalism
• Weapons offenses
• DUI
• School-related offenses

Even misdemeanor-level allegations can carry long-term consequences if not handled properly.

---

Can a Juvenile Be Charged as an Adult?

In certain serious felony cases, prosecutors may seek to transfer a minor to adult court. This significantly increases potential penalties.

Under California law, factors considered include:

• The minor’s age
• Criminal sophistication
• Prior record
• Severity of the offense
• Rehabilitation potential

Preventing a transfer to adult court is often a top priority in serious juvenile cases.

---

Protecting Your Child’s Future

Juvenile records can sometimes be sealed, but convictions and adjudications may still impact:

• College admissions
• Financial aid eligibility
• Employment opportunities
• Professional licensing
• Immigration status

A strategic defense focuses not only on the current case — but on long-term protection.

---

Why Early Representation Matters

In juvenile cases, early intervention can:

• Prevent formal charges
• Negotiate diversion programs
• Argue for informal probation
• Reduce or dismiss allegations
• Protect the minor’s record

Parents should never allow a child to speak with law enforcement without an attorney present.

---

Juvenile Defense Focused on Second Chances

The juvenile justice system is designed to offer rehabilitation — but without strong advocacy, a young person can face unnecessary consequences.

If your child has been arrested or is under investigation for a juvenile offense in California, taking immediate legal action can protect their record, education, and future.

Probation Violation

In California, after being convicted of a crime, an offender must complete a probation period lasting from one to five years. During this time, they must strictly adhere to specific rules and conditions. Violating any of these rules or failing to check in with their probation officer as required can lead to consequences. Probation is part of the criminal sentence served following jail time, allowing the individual to live in the community freely as long as they comply with all conditions. If the person fulfills all the terms of their probation and avoids further offenses, they will successfully complete probation and be fully released.

The specific conditions of probation depend on various factors, such as the nature of the crime, any substance abuse problems, and concerns about the risk of reoffending. Common probation violations in California include:

• Not paying court-ordered restitution or fines.
• Missing court-ordered drug or alcohol assessments, counseling, or rehabilitation programs.
• Failing to complete court-mandated community service.
• Missing scheduled court appearances.
• Not reporting to meetings with the probation officer.
• Associating with prohibited individuals under probation terms.
• Failing to provide updated information to the probation officer, like changes in address or employment.
• Committing new crimes.
• Traveling outside allowed areas.
• Being arrested.
• Fleeing or avoiding probation supervision.
• Possessing illegal weapons or drugs.

If a probation officer suspects that any of these violations or other specific probation terms have been broken, they can notify the court and start a probation violation proceeding.

Pre-filing and Investigation

The pre-filing and investigation process involves your attorney building a defense before formal charges are filed, aiming to prevent charges from being filed in the first place. This includes conducting a thorough investigation to gather evidence such as witness statements, camera footage, and police reports to present to the prosecutor. This approach can persuade the prosecutor to drop the charges, reduce them, or file them under more favorable terms, potentially avoiding a lengthy and reputation-damaging trial.

Public Intoxication

Under Penal Code 647(f), individuals causing disturbances while under the influence of alcohol or drugs in public places are in violation of PC 647(f). Being publicly intoxicated is defined as being under the influence of alcohol or drugs in a way that makes one unable to care for their own safety or that of others. Navigating the complexities of public intoxication charges requires professional legal guidance. Contact Logrue Law today to help you fight PC 647(f) charges.

Restraining Orders

Restraining orders can impact your rights, safety, and future. We assist our clients in either filing or contesting these orders by employing legal strategies customized to their specific situations. A restraining order is a court-issued directive designed to protect a person or organization from abuse or harassment by another party. Such orders typically prohibit various forms of contact, including phone calls, text messages, emails, social media communications, and physical interactions.

Protective orders can prohibit certain actions and abusive behaviors, bar a person from a residence, and restrict other specific conduct needed to enforce the prevention of abuse. Final protective orders may also address child custody and visitation, child and spousal support, as well as attorney fees and expenses. Either party has the right to ask the court to change these orders, or both parties can agree to a modification. Additionally, the victim of domestic violence may request an extension of a protective order.

Whether you need help disputing a restraining order filed against you or require support in obtaining one against someone else, we possess the legal expertise to guide you throughout the entire process. 

Sex Crimes

Sex crime allegations are among the most serious and damaging accusations a person can face. Even before a conviction, these charges can impact reputation, employment, professional licensing, immigration status, and family relationships.

If you are under investigation or have been charged with a sex-related offense in California, immediate and strategic legal representation is essential.

---

Sexual Assault – Penal Code § 243.4 & Related Offenses

Sexual assault generally involves unwanted sexual touching or conduct without consent. Charges may arise under:

• Penal Code § 243.4 – Sexual battery
• Penal Code § 261 – Rape (in more serious cases)

These allegations often rely heavily on witness credibility, conflicting statements, and forensic evidence. Convictions can carry significant prison exposure and mandatory sex offender registration.

Defenses may involve issues of consent, credibility, false allegations, or insufficient evidence.

---

Prostitution & Solicitation – Penal Code § 647(b)

Under Penal Code § 647(b), it is unlawful to:

• Engage in prostitution
• Solicit another person to engage in prostitution
• Agree to engage in prostitution

These cases often arise from undercover sting operations. Evidence may include recorded conversations, surveillance, or text communications.

A conviction can result in fines, probation, and lasting reputational harm.

---

Indecent Exposure – Penal Code § 314

Indecent exposure involves willfully exposing one’s private parts in a public place or in the presence of others for sexual gratification or to offend.

A conviction under Penal Code § 314 may require mandatory sex offender registration under Penal Code § 290, depending on the circumstances and prior history.

Intent is a key element in these cases.

---

Lewd Conduct in Public – Penal Code § 647(a)

Under Penal Code § 647(a), lewd conduct involves engaging in sexual acts in a public place or where others may be offended.

These charges often stem from undercover operations in parks, restrooms, or vehicles. Many cases turn on whether the location legally qualifies as “public” and whether there was intent to engage in lewd conduct.

---

Potential Consequences of Sex Crime Convictions

Sex crime convictions may result in:

• Jail or prison time
• Probation
• Mandatory counseling
• Fines
• Sex offender registration
• Professional licensing consequences
• Immigration consequences

Registration requirements can carry long-term reporting obligations and significant personal impact.

---

Why Early Representation Is Critical

Sex crime allegations move quickly and often involve sensitive evidence. If you are contacted by law enforcement:

• Do not make statements without an attorney
• Do not attempt to explain the situation
• Do not consent to searches without legal advice

Early intervention can influence whether charges are filed and how the case proceeds.

---

Protecting Your Record, Reputation, and Future

Sex-related allegations demand discretion, precision, and a carefully structured defense strategy. These cases often hinge on credibility, intent, and procedural protections.

If you are facing sexual assault, prostitution, indecent exposure, or lewd conduct charges in California, immediate legal representation can protect your freedom and your future.

Theft / Property Crimes

A theft or property crime charge can have immediate and lasting consequences. Even misdemeanor allegations can impact employment, professional licensing, immigration status, and reputation.

If you have been arrested or are under investigation for a theft-related offense in California, early legal intervention is critical.

---

Theft Crimes Under California Law

California law divides theft offenses based on the value of property and the circumstances of the alleged offense.

Petty Theft – Penal Code § 484 & § 488

Petty theft generally involves property valued at $950 or less. While often charged as a misdemeanor, repeat offenses can lead to enhanced penalties.

---

Grand Theft – Penal Code § 487

Grand theft involves property valued over $950 or certain types of property (such as firearms or vehicles), regardless of value.

Grand theft may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony depending on the facts and prior history.

---

Shoplifting – Penal Code § 459.5

Entering a commercial establishment during business hours with intent to commit theft of $950 or less is typically charged as shoplifting.

---

Burglary – Penal Code § 459

Burglary involves entering a structure with intent to commit theft or any felony.

• First-degree burglary (residential) is a felony and strike offense.
• Second-degree burglary (commercial) may be charged as a misdemeanor or felony.

Intent at the time of entry is the key issue in these cases.

---

Receiving Stolen Property – Penal Code § 496

Knowingly buying, receiving, concealing, or selling stolen property may be charged even if the individual did not commit the original theft.

---

Potential Penalties for Theft Offenses

The consequences of a theft conviction may include:

• Jail or prison time
• Probation
• Restitution to the alleged victim
• Fines and court fees
• Strike consequences (in certain burglary cases)
• Immigration consequences
• Professional license discipline

The long-term impact often extends beyond the courtroom.

---

Defenses to Theft & Property Crime Charges

Theft cases frequently turn on intent, identification, and valuation of property. Possible defenses may include:

• Lack of intent to steal
• Mistaken identity
• Ownership dispute
• Consent
• Insufficient evidence
• Illegal search or seizure

In many cases, strategic negotiation can result in reduced charges, diversion programs, or dismissal.

---

Why Early Representation Matters

If you are under investigation for a theft offense:

• Do not speak to law enforcement without counsel
• Do not provide written statements
• Do not attempt to “explain” your actions

Pre-filing intervention can sometimes prevent charges from being formally filed or reduce exposure before court proceedings begin.

---

Protect Your Record and Your Future

Theft and property crime allegations may seem minor — but the consequences can be significant. A strong defense strategy focuses not only on the immediate case, but on protecting long-term opportunities.

If you are facing theft or burglary charges in California, taking immediate legal action can make a meaningful difference in the outcome.

Trespass

California Penal Code 602 prohibits trespassing, which includes entering or remaining on someone else’s property without permission and refusing or failing to leave the lands immediately upon being requested by the owner of the land, the owner’s agent, or by the person in lawful possession to leave the lands. The punishment for trespassing can be hefty fines and imprisonment, if the person refuses to leave the posted area after being requested to leave by a peace officer or other authorized person.

Vandalism

Vandalism in California involves the intentional damage or defacement of property, including acts such as graffiti or breaking windows. Under California Penal Code § 594, these offenses can result in criminal
penalties, including fines, restitution, and imprisonment, depending on the extent of the damage. When the damage exceeds $400, charges may be elevated to a felony, leading to more severe consequences. It is essential to have experienced legal representation. At the Logrue Law Firm, we are here to assist those facing vandalism charges.

Vehicular Manslaughter

Vehicular manslaughter under California law is defined as the killing of another person without malice while operating a vehicle. This means the act does not involve deliberate intent to cause harm but does involve negligent or unlawful behavior behind the wheel. Such incidents can result in criminal charges under Penal Code section 192(c)(1). Penal Code section 192(c)(1) refers to vehicular manslaughter without the involvement of drugs or alcohol but with gross negligence, and it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony.

A person can also be charged with vehicular manslaughter involving drugs or alcohol and gross negligence under Penal Code section 191.5(a). Penal Code 191.5(a) is a straight felony and cannot be charged as a misdemeanor. Another possible charge is vehicular manslaughter involving drugs or alcohol without gross negligence, under Penal Code section 191.5(b). Penal Code 191.5(b) is a wobbler offense, meaning it can be charged either as a misdemeanor or a felony.

Felony vehicular manslaughter charges carry the potential for a state prison sentence, while misdemeanor charges may result in a county jail sentence. Some of these charges may also be eligible for probation.

Vehicular Manslaughter With Gross Negligence:

Felony: 2, 4, or 6 years in state prison.

Misdemeanor: Up to one year in county jail.

Fines up to $10,000

Vehicular Manslaughter With Ordinary Negligence

Misdemeanor: Up to one year in county jail.

Fines up to $1,000

Vehicular Manslaughter While Intoxicated:

No gross negligence: 16 months, 2, or 4 years in state prison.

Gross negligence: 4, 6, or 10 years in state prison.

A crash involving multiple people can add years to the sentence.

White Collar Crimes

White collar crime allegations are complex, high-stakes, and often involve extensive investigations long before charges are filed. These cases frequently target professionals, executives, business owners, and individuals with significant reputational exposure.

If you are under investigation for a financial or fraud-related offense, early and strategic legal representation is critical.

---

What Is White Collar Crime?

White collar crimes typically involve non-violent, financially motivated offenses. These cases often include detailed document review, forensic accounting, electronic evidence, and coordination between state and federal agencies.

Common white collar offenses in California include:

• Fraud
• Embezzlement
• Identity theft
• Forgery
• Money laundering
• Insurance fraud
• Securities violations
• Public corruption allegations

Many cases are prosecuted under both California Penal Code provisions and federal statutes.

---

Fraud & Embezzlement – Penal Code §§ 484, 487 & 503

Fraud and theft-related offenses may involve allegations of deception for financial gain. Embezzlement under Penal Code § 503 involves misappropriating funds entrusted to you, often in employment or fiduciary relationships.

Grand theft under Penal Code § 487 may apply when the value exceeds $950.

---

Identity Theft – Penal Code § 530.5

Using another person’s personal identifying information without authorization for financial gain may be charged as identity theft, a felony in many circumstances.

---

Insurance & Financial Crimes

Insurance fraud is prosecuted aggressively in California and may involve investigations by specialized task forces. These cases frequently rely on financial records, digital communications, and expert testimony.

---

Federal White Collar Investigations

Some white collar cases are investigated by federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation or prosecuted by the United States Department of Justice.

Federal charges can carry severe sentencing guidelines, asset forfeiture risks, and lengthy prison exposure.

If you receive a target letter, subpoena, or request for an interview, do not respond without counsel.

---

Potential Consequences

White collar convictions may result in:

• State or federal prison sentences
• Restitution and substantial fines
• Asset forfeiture
• Professional license revocation
• Immigration consequences
• Irreparable reputational damage

In many cases, the financial penalties alone can be devastating.

---

Why Early Representation Is Critical

White collar investigations often begin quietly. By the time an arrest occurs, the government may have been building a case for months or years.

A defense attorney can:

• Intervene during the pre-filing stage
• Respond to subpoenas strategically
• Conduct an independent financial review
• Negotiate before charges are filed
• Protect against self-incrimination

Early action may prevent charges or significantly reduce exposure.

---

Strategic, Discreet Defense

White collar crime cases require discretion, sophistication, and a deep understanding of financial evidence. Defense strategy must be proactive, analytical, and carefully structured.

If you are under investigation or facing white collar charges in California, immediate legal counsel can protect both your freedom and your professional future.

At the Logrue Law, we handle all types of white-collar cases, including:

• All forms of fraud
• Embezzlement
• Bribery and extortion
