Criminal Defense for Redondo Beach, CA

Defense Attorney for South Bay Beaches Since 1978

Being accused of a crime is a life-changing event. Charges alone could have serious consequences for your freedom, reputation, and job prospects. That is why it is important to have knowledgeable and experienced defense attorneys in Redondo Beach on your side to guide you from initial arrest all the way through trial.

Protecting Your Rights Through an Arrest

Michael Norris, Inc. has been protecting the rights of the accused since 1978. Our Redondo Beach defense attorney is highly respected among colleagues, adversaries, and courtrooms throughout Southern California and is among the most accomplished trial lawyers in the country. Our firm’s commitment to your future compels us to use every tool and method at our disposal to clear you of wrongdoing or reduce your charges.

The arrest process can be distressing, to put it mildly. After being taken into custody, getting booked, and waiting in jail until bail is posted, you might be tempted to say anything to get out. All the more reason it is essential to have an attorney to advocate for you by your side. One important thing to keep in mind is that you should not speak to law enforcement or provide any statements until you have an attorney present. Anything you say can be used against you, and it is essential to have an attorney who can advise you of your rights and ensure that law enforcement is following proper procedures.

For example, if the police conduct an illegal search or seizure, our attorney can file a motion to suppress the evidence obtained during the search. This can result in the charges being dropped or reduced. In addition, our attorney can help you navigate the bail process. We can argue for your release on your own recognizance or argue for a lower bail amount. We can also negotiate with the prosecutor to have charges reduced or dropped, which can result in a lower bail amount or no bail at all.
