General Criminal Defense
At Bozorgi Law, we have deep experience defending individuals across a wide range of criminal matters. All of our attorneys have dedicated their careers to the defense of the accused, bringing decades of combined experience in both state and federal courts.
We have represented clients at every stage of a criminal case—during investigation, arrest, bond hearings, pre-file proceedings, discovery, pretrial motions, and trial. We have defended countless clients before juries, and we approach every matter with the same level of preparation, determination, and care.
Each case is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all defense. There are no shortcuts and no substitute for hard work. We thoroughly investigate, research, and prepare each matter to ensure that every client receives the strongest defense possible. Our goal in every case is to achieve the best possible outcome through an approach and methodology that spare no effort.
We also have extensive experience representing both petitioners and respondents in petitions for injunctions which have criminal consequences.
