Located right in the middle of Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, Van Nuys is a large suburban community with residential areas, a civic center and businesses of all kinds.  From restaurants and bars, to strip clubs and bail bondsmen, Van Nuys has it all.  With a population of over 135,000 people, Van Nuys is one of the more populous neighborhoods in LA's San Fernando Valley.  Van Nuys has large Mexican and Salvadorean populations.

The area is primarily patrolled by LAPD and the California Highway Patrol.  Criminal proceedings are held in Van Nuys Courthouse, located at 14400 Erwin Street Mall in Van Nuys.  Van Nuys sees all sorts of criminal cases, from arrests for prostitution, drugs, DUI, domestic violence, up to gang activity and violent felonies.  Traffic matters are also heard at the Van Nuys Courthouse.

A short trip away from Studio City, Van Nuys is nearby the Law Offices of Nicholas Loncar, conveniently located on Ventura Boulevard, a major artery in the San Fernando Valley.


In Van Nuys DUI cases, we can help you assert the defenses available (Including: Mouth Alcohol, Rising BAC, How Accurate are Breathalyzers?,  Did Police Follow Proper Testing Procedure, Do Field Sobriety Tests Prove Anything,Alcohol and Drugs are NOT the Only Causes of Bad Driving).  For Van Nuys theft offenses, there may be an opportunity to reach a civil compromise dismissal with merchants or otherwise deny involvement or intent to steal.  Drug crimes or weapon offenses might have a viable motion to suppress if the police violated your Constitutional rights during your police encounter, or a long list of other defenses.  Each case is different and fact-specific and it takes a skilled, knowledgeable attorney to take the right steps to get you the best outcome in your case in Van Nuys, the San Fernando Valley, or anywhere else in Los Angeles.

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime in Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Canoga Park, North Hollywood, Encino or anywhere else in Los Angeles, contact a knowledgeable, aggressive Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney at the Law Offices of Nicholas Loncar now for a free consultation.  818-646-8788

EXAMPLE:
John, a plumber, has had back pain for several years.  His job involves a lot of strain on his back and he had previously been prescribed Vicodin to help him manage the pain.  After about 10 months of taking the medication, John could no longer afford health coverage, and could not afford to pay for frequent doctor's visits.  John's father also was prescribed pain medications, and gave John 20 pills each month so that John could manage to get through his hard work day.

One day, while John is backing out of a driveway at one of his job sites, he hits another vehicle.  An LAPD officer comes out to write up a traffic collision investigation report.
  While talking to both parties, the officer asks John if he takes any medications.  John admitted to the officer that he takes pain medication for his back.  The officer asked John to perform some field sobriety tests, and John agreed (note: he has a right to refuse to perform field sobriety tests and should refuse).  John lost his balance while trying to perform the one leg stand test.  John is arrested for DUI and taken to the station for a blood test.  He now must appear in Van Nuys Court to defend against charges that he violated VC 23152(a) and 23152(b).  Unlike alcohol-related DUIs, John will not need to schedule a DMV hearing.  His license will only be suspended if he is convicted of DUI.  Fortunately, John is not in possession of any of the pills his father had given him.  If he had been found with the pills, he would face a felony possession of a controlled substance charge per HS 11350.  It is also important to note that even if John has a valid prescription, he can still be prosecuted for DUI if the government shows that the medication has impaired his ability to drive.

John hires a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney to represent him in his DUI case.  John's lawyer has an accident reconstructionist interview John, the other driver and the police officers accident report, and has a toxicology expert
review the blood results and exploit other holes in the government's case.  The attorney also gets a statement from John's physician stating that his back problems would make it difficult for him to stand on one leg.  Relying on the government's evidence (the evidence in the officer's report) is not likely to get the best result.  But with independent, new evidence, John has a much better chance to get a dismissal, a reduced charge, or, if necessary, win his DUI case at a jury trial.

If you have been arrested or charged with a crime in Van Nuys, contact the Law Offices of Nicholas Loncar for a free consultation with a Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney.
