Criminal Defense Attorney in Los Angeles
Know Your Rights!
If you are facing criminal charges or have been arrested for a crime, contact a Los Angeles criminal lawyer from our firm. The team at Schwartz & Naderi has over forty years of combined criminal defense experience and has been named as Trial Attorney of the year. We are dedicated to protecting your rights and fighting for your best interests at all time. Throughout the case, it is important that these rights are upheld:
- Right to a Criminal Defense Lawyer: Defendants have the right to a criminal defense attorney throughout legal proceedings. The court will appoint an attorney for the defendant at no charge if he/she cannot afford to hire one. Yet, at the end of the case, they may be asked to pay all or part of the cost for that attorney, if he/she can afford to.
- Right to a Jury Trial: Defendants have the right to a speedy, public jury trial. At the trial, the defendant is presumed innocent, and cannot be convicted unless twelve impartial jurors have been convinced of the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
- Right to Confront Witnesses: Defendants have the right to confront and cross-examine all witnesses testifying against them.
- Right Against Self-Incrimination: The defendant has the right to remain silent, to prevent self-incrimination, and the right to testify on their own behalf.
- Right to Produce Evidence: The defendant has the right to present evidence and to have the court issue a subpoena to bring into court all witnesses and evidence favorable to them, at no cost to them.
