CLG provides criminal representation in both State and Federal Court systems in a wide variety of criminal charges. We can handle anything from minor traffic violations to more serious DUIs.

CLG also offers experienced representation in complex criminal cases, including serious felonies, White-Collar Crimes and other sophisticated criminal defense matters.

The aim in each case is to defeat the charge, or reach a resolution that does not involve custody time or the loss of professional privileges. While no one can guarantee results in a criminal matter, it is well settled that when anyone faces criminal charges it is in their best interest to seek a private attorney rather than rely upon a public defender.

A study was reported in the New York Times discussing the difference between being represented by a public defender as opposed to being represented by a retained attorney in a criminal case. The study was conducted by two economists for Emory University and concluded that in serious cases "the average sentence for clients of public defenders was almost THREE YEARS longer than the average for clients of private attorneys." Moreover, when all cases were considered, the average sentence for clients of public defenders was almost FIVE YEARS longer than the average for clients of private attorneys.

By zealously defending the Constitution and the rights of our clients, CLG attorneys are staunch advocates for those accused of crimes.  We vow to protect and minimize the impact of the case on our clients in all areas of their lives.  

When facing a criminal prosecution everyone should at least consult with an experienced criminal defense lawyer, someone that has experience representing people accused of similar charges.   Every case is unique and each of our clients deserve an advocate fighting in their corner.

Recent Results:

1.       In 2009, our client was arrested on multiple felonies.  The bail was set at $10,000,000.00.  The matter was resolved and the client was placed on probation with credit for time served.

2.      Also in 2009, a different client was arrested for being in possession of over 2,000 pounds of marijuana in his kitchen.  This matter was also resolved with formal probation and the client only spent two days in jail.

3.      One of our most current DUI cases involved a driver with a blood alcohol content of .21.  The driver was arrested after law enforcement saw the driver speeding and weaving in and out of the lane.  We were able to plea this case down to a wet-reckless (vehicle code section 23103 pursuant to vehicle code section 23103.5) and the DUI charges were dismissed.

While we cannot guarantee results, and each case is different, with its own strengths and weaknesses, these three cases highlight that at Casas Law Group, P.C. we know the value of a case and work hard to provide you with the optimal outcome under the unique circumstances of each case (past results are no guarantee of future performance).
