Protecting Your Rights, Your Freedom, and Your Future
At the Law Office of Stein & Markus, we understand that criminal charges can have a profound impact on your life, your freedom, and your future. With over 75 years of combined experience in defending clients in California against charges of murder, assault, drugs, fraud, domestic violence, DUI and more, our team has developed a unique approach to criminal defense that sets us apart from other law firms.
Our Expertise
We have a comprehensive and aggressive approach to criminal defense, employing strategies that are designed to successfully defend our clients. Our team includes skilled trial lawyers who have resolved thousands of cases, and our knowledge of the criminal justice system is unmatched. We also have the insight and knowledge of a former Los Angeles criminal prosecutor who spent 33 years working for the other side. This unique combination of experience with both sides of criminal law gives us an unparalleled ability to help our clients achieve the best possible results.
Our Services
Our law firm handles all state and federal criminal charges, from initial investigation by law enforcement to arrests, formal charges, arraignments, and throughout all court proceedings. We are dedicated to ensuring that our clients have the defense they need to give them the best chance of a favorable outcome. We can intervene to protect our clients' rights in police questioning, seek reduced charges and/or sentencing by negotiating with prosecutors, or present well-prepared arguments on our clients' behalf at trial.
Senate Bill 1437
Senate Bill 1437 has made it possible for individuals who were previously convicted of murder to have their convictions re-evaluated and potentially have their sentences reduced or even reversed. Our team at Stein & Markus has the expertise to help individuals navigate this complex and ever-changing legal landscape.
Our Philosophy
We believe that every individual is innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It is the burden of the prosecution to meet that standard. With our proven legal team on your side, you can expect us to use every legal avenue to put a conviction in doubt through the exposure of all available errors and flaws in the prosecution's case.
