“Mr.De La Cruz went above and beyond in assisting me and my legal short comings”
I hired Mr.De La Cruz when I found myself needing some serious legal help. I had multiple cases on my plate at the time. As a single mother, it was almost impossible to juggle working full time, attending school, on top of having to be in court. Mr.De La Cruz went above and beyond in assisting me and my legal short comings. He treated me with the utmost respect. While having Mr. DLC on my team I was able to continue life stress free! Thank you Anastacio for all you’ve done for me! I couldn’t have done it without you! You are one of the BEST if not THE best attorney this valley has to offer.

What If You Are Arrested for a Crime in Indio, CA?

Being arrested can be a frightening, confusing, and overall traumatic experience, especially if it is your first time facing the criminal justice system. A conviction can result in serving harsh criminal penalties, including jail or prison time.

Remember, you have the right to remain silent. Therefore, do not attempt to tell your side of the story because anything you say can be used against you in court. Next, you have a right to be represented by an attorney. Not only can a lawyer protect your rights and freedom after your arrest, but he/she can also help you obtain the most favorable outcome in your criminal case.

If you have been arrested for a crime in Indio, CA, you can rely on the Law Offices of Anastacio De Law Cruz to defend you from start to finish. We can thoroughly assess your case, investigate your arrest, decide all your legal options, and build an aggressive and personalized defense strategy to either get your entire case dismissed or your charges/penalties reduced.

What Do Criminal Defense Lawyers Do?

Criminal defense lawyers play a crucial role in the criminal justice system by representing individuals who are accused of committing criminal offenses. Their primary objective is to provide legal counsel, build a strong defense, and protect their clients' rights throughout the legal process. Here's an overview of what criminal defense lawyers do:

Legal Consultation: Criminal defense lawyers offer legal advice to their clients. They explain the charges, potential consequences, and the legal process, helping the accused make informed decisions about their case.
Case Evaluation: They conduct a comprehensive review of the case, examining evidence, witness statements, and legal documents to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the prosecution's case.
Defense Strategy: Based on their evaluation, defense lawyers develop a strategic defense plan. This may include challenging evidence, questioning the legality of arrests or searches, identifying witnesses, and determining the best course of action, such as negotiating a plea deal or going to trial.
Legal Research: Defense attorneys engage in extensive legal research to identify relevant statutes, case law, and legal precedents that can support their defense strategy. This research helps them construct compelling arguments in court.
Court Representation: Criminal defense lawyers represent their clients during court proceedings. They present legal arguments, cross-examine witnesses, make motions, and ensure that their clients' rights are protected.
Negotiation with Prosecution: Defense lawyers often negotiate with the prosecution to explore the possibility of resolving the case through a plea bargain. They may negotiate for reduced charges or lighter sentencing in exchange for a guilty plea.
Witness Preparation: If there are witnesses who can testify on behalf of the accused, defense lawyers prepare them for court appearances, ensuring they provide accurate and credible testimony.
Evidence Gathering: In some cases, defense lawyers may hire investigators or experts to gather additional evidence, conduct forensic analysis, or challenge the prosecution's evidence.
Sentencing Advocacy: If their client is found guilty or pleads guilty, defense lawyers advocate for a fair and reasonable sentence. They may present mitigating factors, such as the defendant's remorse or rehabilitation efforts, to influence the sentencing decision.
Protecting Client Rights: Throughout the legal process, defense lawyers ensure that their clients' constitutional rights, such as the right to remain silent and the right to legal representation, are protected. They work to prevent any violations of these rights.
Post-Conviction Actions: In the event of a conviction, defense lawyers can continue to represent their clients by filing appeals, seeking post-conviction relief, or challenging the legality of the conviction or sentence.

In summary, criminal defense lawyers serve as advocates, legal strategists, and protectors of their clients' rights within the criminal justice system. Their primary goal is to ensure that their clients receive a fair legal process and achieve the best possible outcome for their case, whether that involves acquittal, reduced charges, or a fair sentencing decision.
