Our experienced criminal defense attorneys provide the highest level of representation with the touch and nuance necessary to suit your unique circumstances.
Expertise in a Variety of Criminal Offenses
While most people know our office for excellence in DUI defense, we are experienced criminal law attorneys and handle a broad range of crimes commonly associated with DUI. Our criminal law practice includes representation on charges such as theft (petty or grand), controlled substance possession and sales, prostitution, assault and battery, and many others. Different kinds of cases require different kinds of defenses, and we know that attacks on the details of police procedures and seizures of evidence can make or break a case, as do the circumstances of an arrest. Our attorneys include a cadre of many former prosecutors and public defenders who personally understand the criminal justice system from both sides and employ their inside knowledge and experience to mount an effective and aggressive defense for you.
Caring and Non-judgmental Representation
At DUI Lawyers Orange County, we strongly believe that every individual has a right to a second chance and a defense without stigma. Several of our representatives, including our founder, have personal experience on the substance abuse and criminal justice fronts. We afford each client the respect, understanding, and confidentiality required – understanding that crimes of this nature impact individual lives in a personal manner, including emotionally. From your first telephone conversation through final resolution of your case, you will enjoy practical communication, honest counsel, and steadfast support.

Customized Defense Built Around Your Unique Case
No two criminal matters are the same. The design of our defense begins with a thorough analysis of the facts, evidence, and individual circumstances. We evaluate every issue in a case, including the legality of searches and arrests, accuracy of testing result and the reliability of witnesses. Our firm frequently makes use of expert witnesses in areas ranging from toxicology to accident reconstruction to forensic science. Whether your defense hinges on challenging probable cause, the reliability of field sobriety tests or the presentation of medical or psychological defenses, we leave no stone unturned in pursuit of the optimum result.
Support for Every Step: From Arrest to Expungement
Our service to clients doesn’t stop once the trial is over. We help you navigate every step of the criminal process – from pre-filing investigation to arraignment to trial to sentencing to appeal, and we’ll take care of expungement and permanent dismissal of convictions at no additional charge if you qualify. We don’t just defend you in a court of law; we will work hard with you to win back your future, your reputation, and your progress.
Help with DMV Hearings and License Suspensions
For most criminal cases – particularly DUI/Drunk Driving or drug offenses – an arrest may place your driver’s license at risk. Our attorneys have extensive experience representing clients at DMV hearings, fighting administrative suspensions of your driver’s license, and negotiating issuance of restricted or hardship licenses. If you cannot drive due to a suspension, we can meet you at our offices in Newport Beach or Anaheim, and can also be found at multiple satellite offices in Orange County, so that we can make this process as easy and convenient as possible for you.
Alternative Sentencing and Second Chances
When appropriate, we advocate for alternatives to incarceration such as home confinement, work release, or engaging in a rehabilitation program. These alternatives allow the client to avoid jail, keep their employment, and receive the treatment necessary to effectuate a positive change. We collaborate with prosecutors, judges, and court services devising creative and compassionate resolutions that are in our client’s best interest.
Reasonable Rates and Free Consultations
We believe that superior quality criminal defense should be available for all, regardless of income levels. That is why we provide free initial telephone consultations with an experienced trial attorney – so your questions can be answered and your concerns put at ease before you have to part with any of your hard-earned dollars. We organize pricing for legal services as a clear-cut front-to-back fee – from defense through eventual expungement – and we devise payment plans that fit within your budget. You never experience hidden fees or pressure sales tactics. We take pride in the integrity of what we do and the way we do it, so we can empower you to make informed decisions at every step.
Team-Based, Results-Oriented Approach
Every case at The Atias Law Group benefits from our multi-layered, team-based approach. Our lawyers combine their knowledge from thousands of criminal cases – including everything from basic misdemeanors to multi-charged felonies – to make your defense as comprehensive and creative as possible. We meet regularly in-house to discuss the cases collegially; we use backgrounds as former prosecutors and public defenders to inform our understanding of our opponents’ likely approach. These layers provide you the best chance at obtaining a good result – whether through a dismissal, reduction in charges, an acquittal at trial, or a successful expungement.
