Welcome to the City of Angels
Every year:
- The Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department makes 75,000+ arrests.
- LAPD makes over 100,000 arrests.
Both residents and tourists can find themselves on the wrong side of the law with ease. “Vacation arrests” can be especially complicated for those who find themselves saddled with court dates in LA despite living halfway across the country, or even halfway around the world.
Not Guilty?
California leads the nation in exonerations. And while it’s good some wrongfully convicted prisoners go free, it’s important to note this means there are plenty of wrongful conviction cases to go around.
Don’t assume you’re in the clear just because you’re innocent. Justice can be tough in Los Angeles, and if you don’t have an experienced, vigorous defense you could find yourself behind bars for a crime you didn’t commit.
Public Defender Loads in LA
Like many public defender’s offices across the nation, Los Angeles public defenders are overworked and underpaid. The ACLU has called the office “woefully under-resourced,” especially when it comes to handling non-citizen cases. The PDs themselves would tell you they face insane caseloads.
Even the best lawyers in the world would struggle to produce outstanding results under such circumstances.
For most people, hiring a private criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles offers the best chance of securing a good case outcome.
Bail in LA
As of this writing, attempts to end cash bail haven’t taken effect yet. As your private criminal attorneys, the team at Greco-Neyland gives you a chance at affordable bail by giving you an advocate who can speak to the judge on your behalf. Your chances of acquittal increase dramatically when you do not spend your pre-trial time in jail.
Common Criminal Charges in LA
Common criminal charges in LA include:
- Grand Larceny
- DWI
- Shoplifting
- Assault
- Gun Crimes
- Petty Theft
- Child Pornography
- Prostitution
In addition, plenty of Los Angeles residents run afoul of federal statutes every year.
Violent Crime
Any violent crime is a very serious matter, whether it’s a bar room brawl, a charge of domestic assault, or a murder charge. No crime carries a higher stigma than a violent crime.
It is especially vital to get a strong attorney for first-degree murder charges, as California is a death penalty state.
Drug Crimes
Law enforcement officers in Los Angeles vigorously pursue drug crimes and arrests throughout the city. Possessing, transporting, selling, or attempting to sell drugs are all crimes in Los Angeles.
Charges mount up. You can be charged with “transporting” drugs if you have some in your pocket, purse, or bag and take it on a city bus, walk down to the neighbor’s house with it, or step into a vehicle with it. If the drugs cross state lines at any point, you may find yourself charged with a Federal crime instead.
White Collar Crime
Even though white collar crimes are non-violent, being accused of one can still have a huge impact on your future. Embezzlement, credit card fraud, welfare fraud, and all other forms of fraud are serious crimes which require immediate representation from a competent criminal lawyer.
Your Criminal Defense Team
Here are a few reasons you should hire us as your Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers.
We are former prosecutors.
We know every trick the Los Angeles D.A. is likely to throw at you and your case. We’re also familiar with judges you may be facing: their personalities and personal take on certain issues can have a big impact, and this familiarity is helpful.
We conduct thorough investigations.
We know the police investigation is not the end-all, be-all. We know it takes more to get to the truth, especially if we’re going to find evidence which can get you acquitted. We talk to every witness who might help you, thoroughly examine all related records, and look for opportunities to weaken the prosecution’s case at every turn.
We are honest and transparent.
We will tell you exactly what we are doing and why. We’ll also give you our best advice for your case. There are many tough decisions ahead. We will arm you with the information you need to make the right ones.
We’ll never leave you guessing about what we’re doing for you. Our billing structure is straightforward and easy to understand.
We communicate with you.
This is the most stressful life event you’ve ever faced. We don’t leave you to wonder if we’ve forgotten about you. We return calls and emails promptly, and keep you in the loop every step of the way. We take the time to listen to you and to learn your situation inside and out.

We work with you.
We know you’re worried about the costs of hiring a private criminal attorney. We would be too.
That’s why we work with you to put together a payment structure you can live with and manage. Defending your rights comes first for us. Money is a distant secondary concern. We don’t want anyone to avoid calling us simply because they fear they might not be able to manage the bills.
Our goals are your goals.
We work hard to get your case dismissed. If we can’t do that, we work hard to get your charges reduced, and/or to get you acquitted. We want to give you the best chance of getting on with your life.
