The LA County Sheriff's Department's Lost Hills Station provides law enforcement services to Hidden Hills and Calabasas. Most of the criminal matters in the San Fernando Valley are heard at the Van Nuys Courthouse. Burbank, Glendale and San Fernando have courthouses as well, with matters originating in those cities heard in those courthouses instead of Van Nuys. Home to 1.8 Million people, the San Fernando Valley is like a city of its own within the very large LA metro area. Overall, the Valley is a diverse region, with people of all ages, races and socio-economic standing. Crime rates vary greatly from city to city, sometimes even vastly different from block to block. As such, crimes in the Valley range from DUI and Driving on a Suspended License all the way up to Gang Crimes and Homicide. Here are a few of the criminal offenses handled with diligence, passion and care at the Law Offices of Nicholas Loncar: DRUG CRIMES | DUI | DUI CAUSING INJURY | DUI W/ PRIOR | FELONY DUI | VIOLENT CRIMES | THEFT CRIMES | PROSTITUTION/SOLICITATION | WEAPONS OFFENSES | SEX CRIMES | HOMICIDE | DOMESTIC VIOLENCE | JUVENILE OFFENSES | PROBATION VIOLATIONS | FELONY | MISDEMEANOR | MARIJUANA | DUI DRUGS | GANG CASES | VANDALISM | EXPUNGEMENT | APPEALS | CIVIL RIGHTS | THREE STRIKES | INFRACTION (TRAFFIC) | ILLEGAL FIREWORKS | JURY TRIALS | WATSON MURDER | FINANCIAL CRIMES | FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE EXAMPLES OF SAN FERNANDO VALLEY ARRESTS & CRIMINAL DEFENSE CASES: 1. Eric is driving home from a happy hour in Sherman Oaks when he encounters a DUI checkpoint on Ventura Boulevard. Eric turns before the checkpoint and is followed by the officer. He blows a .12 and is arrested. He also admits to using Xanax. Eric's Studio City Criminal Defense Attorney files a motion to suppress the stop and wins a DMV hearing on Eric's behalf. Even though Eric was driving with a BAC above the legal limit, his lawyer is able to save his license and help him avoid a conviction because the officer made an unlawful stop. Eric had a right to make the turn to avoid the checkpoint. 2. Wanda is caught removing a security tag from a dress at a store in Burbank. Store security calls the police, who come and arrest her. She is found with a flat screwdriver that she was using to remove the sensor. Due to the tools in her possession, Wanda is not charged with petty theft, but rather commercial burglary, pursuant to PC 459, and charged with a felony in Burbank courthouse. Wanda's Studio City criminal defense lawyer, is able to negate the evidence that Wanda had intent to steal at the time she entered the store, despite possession of the tool. The DA agrees to amend the charges to petty theft, and Wanda avoids jail time and gets a misdemeanor instead of a felony. 3. Fred and Jen are married and live together in North Hollywood. A neighbor calls the police when they hear Fred and Jen arguing, and hear a plate break. Neither Fred nor Jane speak great English, and the police officer called to the scene is not able to properly figure out what happened. He arrests Fred, seeing a large red mark on Jen's arm. It turns out the red mark is a permanent birthmark, and that Fred had nothing to do with it. Fred's LA criminal defense lawyer gets sworn statements from Jen and her doctor, and persuades the prosecutor to dismiss the case before filing. 4. Ryan, an Encino resident is in Toluca Lake for dinner. While at dinner, he and his friend share a bottle of wine and a cocktail. While driving home, Ryan hits the back of his car on a corner curb. Police come to the car and suspect that he is guilty of DUI. After performing some field sobriety tests and a quick breath test at the scene (PAS device), Ryan is placed under arrest. Ryan's Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney asserts a Rising BAC defense on his behalf, showing that the evidence of his later high BAC did not prove he was above the legal limit at the time of driving.
