Narcotics Offenses

At Bernard & Bernard, we do not take drug charges lightly, and we understand the catastrophic effect a drug crime conviction can have on your life above and beyond the potential criminal penalties.

Homicide / Violent Crimes

Violent crimes may carry the most severe punishments of all. Our firm offers comprehensive criminal defense for clients charged with any violent crime.

Sex Offenses

Perhaps, no crime carries more social stigma than a sex crime. The mere allegation of a sex crime can have a lasting effect on your family, your business, and your reputation.

Domestic Violence

It is very easy to get arrested for domestic violence. A simple argument between husband and wife, or boyfriend and girlfriend can result in a call to the police. When the police are called, 90% of the time, the man will end up going to jail.

Gang-Related Crimes

Invoking California’s “gang enhancement” law is a technique used by the prosecution to up the ante on any crime. “Gang” allegation can transform a simple misdemeanor charge into a felony.

Juvenile Defense

Unlike the adult criminal courts, juvenile courts generally focus more on rehabilitation than punishment. However, in recent years, many states have taken steps to make more juvenile offenses punishable in adult criminal courts.

Theft Crimes

There are many different types of theft charges that you can face if you have allegedly removed property belonging to another person or party. Many of these can result in a felony on your record and jail time.
