Get Help Starting Now With Defense Proceedings In Your California Criminal Matter
We invite you to learn more about Los Angeles criminal law dealing with arrests and the criminal procedure that follows. In and out of the courtroom, we are ready to explain and protect your rights as you proceed through all phases of your case, which may include appeals, probation and parole.
The basic structure of the California criminal procedure is:
- Pretrial
- Trial
- Sentencing
- Post-conviction
What To Expect Before Trial
During the pretrial period of your criminal case, you may experience the following:
- Arraignment — The court sets a date to begin the trial and when the lawyers must file, serve, and respond to trial motions and the court expects you to plead to the charges.
- Bail — Courts use bail to ensure you will appear in court. The judge usually determines bail eligibility and amount during arraignment. A strong Los Angeles criminal defense includes a request for bail and persuasive reasoning for minimal amounts.
- Pretrial motions — There are strict time limits during which your attorney and the prosecution can ask the court to hear arguments to alter standard procedure. Each representative must respond to all pretrial motions within time limits.
- Readiness conference — Between one and 14 days prior to the trial date, the court holds a meeting with all lawyers working on the trial and you must be present in court. The court determines if a trial is necessary or if a plea agreement is possible.
