There is a war going on in the battle between individual liberties and government power.  It is with a heavy heart that I opine We The People are losing.  The US has the world's highest incarceration rate, the largest prison population in human history, and a growing police brutality problem.  Citizens are gunned down by the thousands, and locked in cages.  Wiretaps, unlawful searches and deceptive interrogation tactics are rapidly eroding our constitutional freedoms.  The criminal courtroom is the main battlefield in this war, and I have the privilege to fight it for the rights of my clients and all citizens.  Seeing this growing injustice and inequality makes me proud to be a criminal defense attorney in LA.

LOS ANGELES CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER

Let the Law Offices of Nicholas Loncar show you the true meaning of dedication.  Passionate criminal defense includes carefully explaining each step of the criminal justice process and working tirelessly to achieve the best outcome possible for your case.  For testimonials and endorsements of Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney Nicholas Loncar, please visit the Attorney Profile page.  If you have been arrested, you undoubtedly have questions about what to do next, the permissibility of police conduct, what defenses may be available to you and what the likely outcome of your case may be.  For starters, our Practice Areas page provides detailed information about every type of criminal charge in California and the Southern California Court Locations we serve.  While every case is different, knowing the laws that apply to your case will help you better understand how to proceed.  You need the best Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney you can get!  Our office offers superb service, reasonable fees, easy payment plans, and a track record of getting great results for clients.

Keeping our clients out of jail and keeping their records clean is our main focus.  Criminal convictions can carry severe consequences beyond the courtroom.  California Criminal Defense Lawyers need to have a strong grasp of the immigration consequences associated with criminal convictions, as well as the effects your case might have on professional licensing and employment.  Sometimes your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney will file a motion to suppress evidence, to dismiss the case, or fight your case at a preliminary hearing or trial.  Other times your attorney will fight for you by obtaining a favorable disposition through plea negotiations.  The likely outcome of a case depends on many factors.  The facts of the case, the strength of the government's case against you, your criminal history (if any) and the county and courthouse in which the case is held have a big impact on the outcome of your case.  After arrest, most of these factors are out of your control.  Hiring a passionate Los Angeles criminal defense attorney whose knowledge, skill and track record you can trust is the most important move you can make to protect your rights, keep you out of jail and your record clean.  

The criminal justice system in this country is broken, but that doesn't mean it cannot be fixed so that it works for you.  Despite the phrase "innocent until proven guilty," good people throughout LA and Southern California are often arrested, charged with crimes and forced to prove their innocence.  Career motivated prosecutors do not care what happens to you, will disregard your constitutional rights, and will seek the harshest punishments they can get, even in juvenile cases.  Police and prosecutors ARE out to get you.  Your Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer can help!  You need a Los Angeles Criminal Lawyer who is passionate about your rights on your side.  Let us assert your innocence and fight the case against you.  You deserve a passionate, committed and powerful criminal defense attorney to advocate your side.  Whether you are charged with a small or serious crime, whether you are guilty or innocent, LA Defense Lawyer Nicholas Loncar will fight tirelessly for you and get results.  An arrest does not have to mean a conviction.  Criminal charges do not have to mean a conviction.  Your charges might be based on inadmissible evidence and there may be inconsistencies in the prosecution's case.  Whether through a jury trial, motion to suppress, motion to dismiss or plea bargaining, you need a passionate, committed Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer to fight for the best outcome in your Southern California court case.

ARRESTED FOR DUI? LOS ANGELES DUI LAWYER

For California Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases, it is important to act to preserve your driving privilege and avoid the harmful effects of a DUI conviction.  Upon arrest for DUI, the DMV will automatically suspend your license unless you request a hearing within 10 days of your arrest.  This process, known as a DMV Administrative Per Se (APS) Hearing can save your driver's license from suspension and allow you to continue to drive.  This DMV process is separate from the criminal charges that are filed in court.  

Your Los Angeles DUI Lawyer can raise a variety of complex defenses at these court proceedings and administrative hearings to keep your record driving record clean and to preserve your driving privilege, as well as assert your rights in court to fight the criminal DUI charges.  DUI checkpoints and pullovers are very common in Los Angeles and Southern California.  A good criminal and DUI defense lawyer cares deeply about his clients and their futures, and will work tirelessly to help a client through this very difficult time.  Hire a top Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney on your side to fight for you!

LOS ANGELES DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ATTORNEY

Law enforcement agencies and prosecuting attorneys have begun to place a special emphasis on Domestic Violence (DV) arrests and charges.  Police receive special training in field investigation tactics, detection and many local law enforcement agencies have instituted mandatory arrest policies for domestic violence calls.  In court, DV prosecutions are often specially assigned to prosecutors or courtrooms that deal exclusively in DV cases.  Despite the many reasons to question the reliability of many domestic violence accusations, police and prosecutors almost never take that position.  Getting these charges dismissed or reduced, or winning your case at trial is not as simple as it may seem.  Even with strong cooperation from the complaining witness/victim, police have been trained to gather admissible statements for their reports and build a case without cooperation from the victim.  Many prosecuting agencies will proceed with preliminary hearings or trial, even with only officer witnesses.  Having an attorney who knows the ins and outs of your defense is absolutely essential.  A great domestic violence lawyer must have a strong grasp of the law and evidence code as well as being a persuasive orator and powerful negotiator.  You want a lawyer with public speaking and trial experience, because that is how an attorney wins cases.  Even for cases that end in dismissal or a plea deal, the threat of trial is the leverage the attorneys have.  If this is an empty threat, you will not get the results you want.  The most common domestic violence charges include: PC 243(e)(1) (spousal battery), PC 273.5 (inflicting injury on a spouse or cohabitant), PC 245 (aggravated assault), PC 422 (criminal threats) and more.  These charges carry serious consequences including jail/prison, long terms of probation, a year long domestic violence counseling class, weapon restrictions, protective/stay away orders and more.  Even most plea deals will typically involve most of those consequences.  You need a passionate, aggressive Los Angeles Domestic Violence Lawyer.

LOS ANGELES DRUG CRIMES LAWYER

California Law has recently changed, making (among some theft crimes), ALL simple drug possession crimes misdemeanors.  Possession of a controlled substance (HS 11350, HS 11377) and possession of concentrated cannabis (HS 11357(c)) are now strictly misdemeanor offenses pursuant to Prop 47.  Previously punishable as felonies, old convictions can now be reduced to misdemeanors as well.  If you are facing a drug possession offense, or have a prior felony drug conviction, contact our office for a free consultation.  Drug sales and manufacture/cultivation, are still felonies, even after the passage of prop 47.  If you are facing more serious felony drug sales, transportation, possession for sale, manufacture or cultivation, you need a passionate, aggressive and knowledgeable attorney on your side.  Your Los Angeles Drug Crimes Lawyer will assert your fourth amendment rights to invalidate bad searches, argue persuasively, and negotiate effectively on your behalf.

LOS ANGELES THEFT CRIMES LAWYER

LOS ANGELES VIOLENT CRIMES ATTORNEY

Crimes involving violence are very serious.  Whether a misdemeanor or felony, a violent crime conviction is probably the most likely offense to carry jail time.  From simple assault and battery (PC 240 and PC 242), to murder (PC 187), rape (PC 262), and robbery (PC 211), all violent crimes carry serious consequences, including jail/prison time, weapon bans, probation, fines, restitution, immigration consequences and more.  A violent crime conviction could completely ruin your life.  If you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with a violent crime in Los Angeles, you need a passionate, aggressive and dedicated criminal defense attorney on your side.  Your lawyer must have a strong grasp of the law, a sharp legal mind, effective argument skills, and powerful negotiation tools.  Our office has a track record of success, helping defendants charged with violent crimes avoid convictions at a very high rate.

LOS ANGELES EXPUNGEMENT ATTORNEY

Our office places a strong emphasis on keeping our clients' records as clean as possible.  We begin to fight a case even before charges are filed, and hope to avoid a filing in the first place.  Next, we assess the defenses, prepare motions (e.g. motion to suppress evidence, motion to dismiss, etc.) and exploit weaknesses in the government's case.  In cases where a conviction is sustained, or if you have prior convictions from years ago, we can take steps to clean up your record.  Some examples include: expungement (PC 1203.4 "dismissal"), PC 17(b) motion to reduce felony to misdemeanor, Prop 47 motion to reduce felony to misdemeanor, Proposition 64 Petitions to reduce marijuana convictions, petitions to seal and destroy an arrest record or juvenile record, certificate of rehabilitation, application for clemency/pardon, SB 260 youth offender parole hearings and more.  If you have prior arrests or convictions, contact a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney now to see what you can do to clean up your record.
