Choosing the Right Criminal Attorney Can Save You Thousands of Dollars
In addition to being among the best local attorneys, we also believe in charging honest fees. One of the consequences of being so experienced in the local Central Coast court rooms is that we know how much work goes into most criminal cases and we do our best to charge our clients fair fees.
Many local San Luis Obispo attorneys over charge-and under perform. Our goal is to charge a fair fee and then exceed our clients expectations. Another way in which we are commonly able to save our clients money is by getting their charges reduced, negotiation down their fines, and reducing restitution payments. By doing these things, frequently save clients thousands of dollars.

Avoid Jail by Hiring a Local, Aggressive, Criminal Attorney
For the vast majority of our clients, the number one concern is avoiding jail. We are very proud of the fact that we are successful at helping the majority of our clients avoid jail. Most of our clients never spend another night in jail after they hire us. The key to helping clients stay out of jail is a careful and strategic defense of every single case. Further, we are familiar with the availability of jail alternatives such as work release (working for the sheriff) and electronic monitoring. In situations where the district attorney wants our clients to got to jail, we fight aggressively and work creatively to arrange for alternatives to jail. The result is that few of our clients end up in jail.

” Not enough good things I can say about this law practice from top to bottom. From my first call, the head lawyer was just so good at setting my mind at ease. My assigned lawyer and the support staff continued to be responsive, stress reducing and at the end of the day, utterly effective. Case dismissed! I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. Needless to say, highly recommend, though hope I never need them again! š “

As an attorney practicing in a different area of the law, I have referred several cases to their office over the years. I know I can always trust the Central Coast Criminal Defense team to provide top-notch representation of clients in need. “
” I needed a criminal defense attorney. I found CCC and they were able to clearly instruct me on the best strategy, and they accomplished everything they said they would.
Cody perfectly handled my situation completely. I felt at ease and that I was in good hands throughout the ordeal. Before Hiring him, I felt the system was completly against me & there wasn’t anything I could do about it… it was scary.
In court, both the judge and the DA treated him with respect. I was very pleased with how well he navagated my case through the court.
Also– I experienced an unexpected hiccup a year down the road and went back to them with this new development… I was totally broke– they helped me again because they felt it was the right thing to do. And again they were able to accomplish what would have been impossible for me to do on my own.
I am very happy I hired them, as the entire team is knowledgable, supportive and agressivly fought for me.
I highly recommend you bring your situation to them & let them give you the best defense possible. “” I was visiting friends & family in California and needed some legal help all while I was in Michigan. I called these guys and they helped me out big time, great organization, great people, would use their services again. “
