When you're accused of a crime, your entire life can change in an instant.

In these moments, you don’t just need any attorney. You need a criminal defense lawyer who will fight relentlessly for your freedom, your rights, and your future.

At Bulldog Law, we bring the aggression, skill, and legal insight needed to handle the toughest criminal cases. Our team has built a reputation across California for tenacious defense, personalized attention, and an unwavering commitment to justice.

What Does a Criminal Defense Lawyer Do?

A criminal defense lawyer is a legal professional who defends individuals accused of committing crimes. Whether you're facing a misdemeanor, felony, or federal charge, a criminal defense attorney is your frontline defense against the prosecution. Their role includes:

• Investigating your case thoroughly

• Challenging unlawful arrests or searches

• Negotiating with prosecutors

• Filing motions to suppress evidence

• Defending you in trial

• Protecting your constitutional rights at every step

With so much at stake, hiring the right lawyer can mean the difference between freedom and incarceration.

Criminal Defense Services at Bulldog Law

At Bulldog Law, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter solutions. We provide aggressive defense strategies tailored to the unique circumstances of each case. Whether you're charged with a DUI or accused of a violent felony, we come prepared to challenge every element of the prosecution’s case.

1. DUI & DWI Defense

A DUI charge can affect your license, your job, and even your freedom. Our criminal defense lawyers examine every detail—from the legality of the traffic stop to the reliability of sobriety tests—to build a strong defense.

We fight to:

• Reduce or dismiss charges

• Challenge BAC testing procedures

• Prevent license suspension

• Avoid jail time and excessive fines

2. Drug Crimes

From possession to trafficking, drug charges can carry life-altering penalties. At Bulldog Law, we fight hard to protect your rights, particularly in cases involving:

• Marijuana possession

• Prescription drug fraud

• Controlled substance trafficking

• Possession with intent to distribute

Our team investigates whether law enforcement followed proper procedure and works to suppress illegally obtained evidence.

3. Violent Crimes

Violent crime accusations like assault, battery, or homicide are taken extremely seriously by prosecutors. But accusations don’t equal guilt. We build powerful defenses by:

• Challenging eyewitness credibility

• Asserting self-defense claims

• Examining forensic evidence

• Revealing inconsistencies in the prosecution’s narrative

We fight fiercely for clients who are facing life-changing charges and deserve a powerful voice in court.

4. White Collar Crimes

White collar crimes like fraud, embezzlement, and identity theft require both legal knowledge and strategic skill. These cases are often complex and involve mountains of digital and financial evidence.

Bulldog Law defends clients in cases involving:

• Wire fraud and mail fraud

• Securities violations

• Healthcare fraud

• Corporate investigations

We work closely with experts to dissect financial evidence and protect your professional and personal future.

5. Theft & Property Crimes

From shoplifting to grand theft auto, property crime charges can seriously impact your record. Our firm handles:

• Petty theft and burglary

• Robbery

• Vandalism

• Receiving stolen property

We aim to keep clients out of jail and minimize long-term consequences.

6. Sex Crimes

Few charges carry the stigma and serious penalties of sex crimes. We provide discreet, aggressive defense for clients accused of:

• Sexual assault

• Rape

• Child pornography

• Indecent exposure

Sex crime convictions can lead to mandatory registration and lengthy prison terms. We take these cases extremely seriously and fight to protect your name and future.

7. Probation Violations

If you're accused of violating probation, you could be facing jail time or a revocation of your release terms. Our defense team helps you contest violations, negotiate reinstatement, and avoid harsh penalties.

The Bulldog Law Difference: Aggressive Defense with Heart

At Bulldog Law, our clients aren’t just case numbers — they’re people with futures, families, and everything to lose. That’s why we take a client-centered approach, offering:

• 24/7 availability during emergencies

• Honest legal guidance, not false promises

• Transparent communication throughout your case

• A reputation for courtroom toughness

Our attorneys have been described as “bulldogs” in court — and for good reason. We don’t flinch in front of prosecutors. We don’t fold under pressure. And we don’t stop fighting until we’ve done everything possible to win.

What to Do If You’re Charged with a Crime

Being charged with a crime is terrifying, but your actions immediately following the charge can make or break your case. Here’s what you should do:

1. Do Not Talk to Police Without an Attorney
   Even if you’re innocent, anything you say can be twisted and used against you.

2. Contact a Criminal Defense Lawyer Immediately
   The earlier you involve a defense attorney, the better your chances of beating the charges.

3. Document Everything
   Keep track of events, dates, and details that may be important to your defense.

4. Follow Your Lawyer’s Advice
   Trust your legal team to guide you through the process and avoid self-sabotage.

How to Choose the Right Criminal Defense Lawyer

Not all lawyers are created equal. When choosing a criminal defense lawyer, look for:

• Experience in your specific type of case

• A reputation for trial success and negotiation skills

• Honest, realistic guidance—not just what you want to hear

Bulldog Law checks all these boxes—and more.

Criminal Defense FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between a public defender and a private criminal defense lawyer?

A: No ethical lawyer can guarantee an outcome. What we can promise is relentless defense, transparent advice, and fighting tooth and nail for the best result possible.

Q: What if I’ve already been convicted—can you help?
A: Yes. We can assist with appeals, post-conviction relief, and expungements, depending on your situation.
