The Arrest Process in LA

For starters, here are all the Law enforcement agencies that operate in Los Angeles:

A person can get arrested under a number circumstances:

  • The police can show up at your home or office to arrest you based on a warrant issued by a judge, or
  • The police arrest you on the spot alleging that you committed a crime.

If you are arrested by the police on a misdemeanor charge, they might simply issue you a citation for a court appearance. On the other hand, they will take you to a local city or county jail or a central facility for booking. After you have been booked, one of three things happens:

  • You could get released on your own recognizance (also referred to as an “O.R.” release),
  • You will have to post a cash bail amount, or
  • You will be taken to court to be formally charged in an arraignment procedure.

Adult males who are required to remain in jail, you will usually be held at:

Female inmates are normally held at the Century Regional Detention Facility.

When juveniles get arrested in Los Angeles, they are customarily taken to Eastlake Juvenile Hall (formerly known as the Central Juvenile Hall), which is at 1605 Eastlake Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90033.

[lightweight-accordion title=”What can I do about a warrant – for which I didn’t go to court for?” schema=”faq” bordered=true]

Bench warrants are orders that are issued by a judge which mandates someone be brought to court – because he, or she, didn’t appear in court when they were supposed to appear in court. It can be that the sentence wasn’t completed, fines weren’t paid, or community service wasn’t done. This type of court order can stay in the system for years, until law enforcement come into contact with you, and run your record. At this point, you can be arrested on the spot, and brought before the court. Bench warrants can also be recalled. If the crime you’re accused of is a felony, then you have to appear in court for it to be quashed. Our skilled Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers can work with the court to come to a reasonable resolution regarding your warrant. The judge will take into account that you have a lawyer representing you – as a sign you’re looking to take responsibility for your warrant. 


[/lightweight-accordion]
[lightweight-accordion title=”What is the difference between being arrested, and being charged, with a crime?” schema=”faq” bordered=true]
Law enforcement agencies, like the local police, can arrest you if they have probable cause. It means they have cause to believe you’ve committed a crime. They can hold you for a few hours or days. Probable cause is based on a strong suspicion. Law enforcement agencies CANNOT charge you with a crime. To be charged with a crime, is something only the District Attorney’s office can do. They are a prosecuting agency, and they are the ones who file a complaint against you in court. For more serious crimes, you can be held without bail. For less severe crimes, you can be released on your own recognizance – which is an agreement that you will return back to court on a specific date. For other crimes, bail will be required for your release.
If after an investigation the detective believes theres enough evidence to prosecute you – he, or she, will bring the case to the prosecutor. The prosecutor will then decide whether to file charges, and what charges should be filed. If you’re in custody, and no charges are filed against you within a few days – you have to be released. The prosecutor has up to 1 year, or more, to file charges.

Los Angeles Criminal Lawyers FAQ

I Wasn’t Read My Miranda Rights. Can My Case Be Dismissed?

Being read your Miranda rights, or your right to remain silent, is something you should be aware of when arrested/under arrest. There is often a lot of confusion what “under arrest,” means – and when the Miranda rights apply. You are under arrest – at the time you are in custody, and aren’t free to leave. At the time of your arrest – the officer arresting you must read you your rights – before questioning you. The violation of your Miranda rights does not mean your case will be dismissed. If a judge determines your right to remain silent was violated, then the judge will suppress/exclude, statements after the violation. This is not the same thing as the case being dismissed. In some cases, even without statements etc, the prosecutor might be able to proceed with the case. A violation of your miranda rights, or right to remain silent, doesn’t mean the case will be dismissed. Your statements could be excluded, but it doesn’t mean your case is over. If there are any doubts, you should speak to a Los Angeles criminal lawyer who can give you more advice.

Do I Need a Criminal Defense Lawyer If I’m Innocent?

If you’re accused of a crime in Los Angeles and you’re innocent, you might think that – why do I need a lawyer if i’m innocent? This is a very big question many people ask. It’s not always white and black. In some cases, you may be able to represent yourself in court. It’s wise, however, to have an experienced Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer on your side who can help you. Hiring a lawyer, even when innocent – is your best bet. There are many people who are innocent, and sit in jail cells – due to the fact they didn’t have a lawyer and couldn’t prove their innocence.
If you’ve been arrested it’s important to get legal representation as soon as possible. Lawyers can help you understand the charges against you – and advise you on what could occur, and what steps you should take. Many people will find themselves asking whether they need a criminal lawyer if they’re innocent, yet still refuse to speak to an attorney. It’s not inaccurate to say, that sometimes the legal system is rigged in a way that feels like it is intentionally trying to put people in jail.

Serious crimes always require a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney to represent you. Whether you are innocent or not, hiring your own lawyer is a good idea. If the crime was less severe, then a lawyer might not be necessary because these offenses usually don’t carry heavy sentences such as jail time.

What should I expect from my Los Angeles criminal attorneys

When you hire a criminal defense attorney, you want someone who has knowledge of the law, and has experience defending the types of charges you’re facing. You want an attorney who has experience in the court where the charges are filed. In addition, you want an attorney who is both a litigator and negotiator. Often, many criminal defense cases can be resolved early on in the process with a tactful approach. Not all Los Angeles criminal lawyers have experience in both state and federal courts. As a result, it’s important to find out where the attorney you’re hiring has practiced, and if he/she has experience handling similar cases to yours. At the Spodek Law Group, we have experience handling a wide array of criminal charges.

Is It Worth it to Hire a Lawyer If I’m Guilty?

Being arrested and charged can be a terrifying experience. When this happens, all you want to do is make it end – and the police/prosecutors know that. If you think you’re guilty, it might be even more tempting to simply not hire an attorney and take whatever deal the Los Angeles prosecutor’s office is offering. This is definitely a mistake. Criminal convictions can jeopardize your life, your reputation, your liberty, professional opportunities and more. Even if you believe you’re guilty of the allegations against you, or if there is evidence – you should still hire a private criminal defense attorney in Los Angeles.

There are many potential consequences of a guilty plea.

  • Fines
  • Serving time
  • Probation
  • Community Service
  • Suspension of a driver’s license
  • Employment consequences
  • Deportation
  • Loss of licenses
  • Inability to possess/carry a firearm
  • and more

If you plead not guilty, your case has to go to trial – and now the prosecutor has to prove their case. It means that they have to prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. This is where an experienced Los Angeles criminal lawyer can come in hand.

According to stats from the Crime in California report, there were over 850,000 arrests across the state in 2020. If you’ve been arrested/indicted for a crime, it’s important you hire a criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles.

Your private Los Angeles criminal attorney can educate you about the severity of the allegations against you, the penalties and consequences, in addition to helping you understand legal defenses. More importantly, the lawyer can challenge the prosecutor’s evidence – during trial – because the state prosecutor has to present evidence showing you’re guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Your private Los Angeles criminal lawyer has to challenge the state’s evidence, and dispute the allegations, and highlight flaws in their case which vindicate you. If you hire your own criminal lawyer in Los Angeles, he/she can negotiate a favorable plea deal. They can use their negotiation skills to find a favorable plea bargain and achieve the best possible outcome. Lawyers can also help you avoid jail time by exploring alternatives. Most importantly, they can ensure that the punishment fits the crime.

What’s the Difference Between a Misdemeanor and a Felony?

Misdemeanors are less serious than a felony. Felonies in Los Angeles are a serious crime, and usually come with long jail or prison sentences. Misdemeanors usually involve jail time, small fines, and other temporary punishments. For example, you can be slightly over the BAC limit during a DUI stop – and get a misdemeanor – but if you have children in the car – you can face a felony charge. Facing criminal charges, regardless of whether they are a misdemeanor or felony is a serious issue. The outcome will have ramifications on your life for years. It pays to have a knowledgable and awesome criminal lawyer on your side who is protecting your rights and explaining your options. Misdemeanor charges are less serious than felony charges, but can still involve penalties like fines, jail time, or other loss of privileges. Misdemeanor charges can be felony charges under certain circumstances.

Does California Have a “Three Strikes” Law?

This is a sentencing scheme which gives defendants a prison sentence of 25 years to life, if they are convicted of three or more violent/serious felonies. This is codified in Penal Code Section 667 PC.
Three strikes law, also doubles the prison sentence for anyone convicted of any California felony who have two violent felony or serious felony in the past. Second strikes also receive a double sentence under PC 667.

For example, if you have two prior convictions for robbery(serious felony), and a decade later you are charged with burglary of a residence – another serious felony – you could be charged under the third striker law. You could face a mandatory sentence of 25 years to life.

There are a few ways to fight the California three strikes sentence. You can ask a judge to remove a strike prior, through a Romero motion. You can also fight to have a felony charge reduced to a misdemeanor charge. The California three strike law has changed a lot. Some people who are sentenced in the past would not be charged today. If you, or a loved one, are serving under three strikes – you may be able to get the sentence reduced. You can also apply for parole.

You are a third strike defendant if you have 2 prior convictions for a serious felony, and are charged with another serious/violent crime felony. If both of these are true, you will receive a sentence of 25 years to life for your current charge.

Normally, California prisoners can earn custody credits for time served with good behavior. This can lead to being released from prison after serving only 50% of the sentence. But the 3 strikes law limits this. Second, or third, strikers have to complete 80% of their sentence before they are eligible for release. Defendant who are convicted of a violent felony have to serve 85% of their sentence.

Some three-strike defendants may be eligible for parole under California law.

Los Angeles Federal Criminal Defense Lawyers

Whether you’re being investigated, or have been charged and arrested – you have every reason to be intimidated by federal prosecutors. That’s why you should hire a federal criminal defense law firm. Federal crimes are more severe – the penalties are harsher – than state offenses. Without an accomplished Los Angeles federal criminal defense law firm – who can help protect your rights, and knows each phase of the legal criminal defense process – the outcome could destroy your life.
At the Spodek Law Group – our Los Angeles federal defense attorneys have over 50 years of combined experience representing and defending clients in federal courts. We have extensive experience handling federal crimes nationwide, and have an amazing reputation throughout the country providing our clients with top notch legal defense.

How are California Federal Courts Different From State Criminal Courts
Federal criminal laws are different from state laws. They are meant to punish activities which are against the nation, rather than the states. The rules and procedures followed by Federal Courts are different than the ones states courts follow.  State laws are prosecuted by the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office, and handled by the Los Angeles Superior Court system. Federal crimes in Los Angeles are prosecuted by the US DOJ, and the US Attorney’s Office.
Because of how federal crimes are perceived, and treated by prosecutors, you need a different caliber of Los Angeles criminal defense attorneys to represent you. Federal prosecutors have resources, and support staff, necessary to build a tight case. They have a high conviction rate.

According to Pew Research, only 2% of federal criminal defendants go to trial – and most who do, are found guilty. This is a startling statistic, but it shows the importance of hiring the best federal criminal defense attorney possible in Los Angeles to represent you. If you’ve been charged/are being investigated by the US government – you need a federal criminal defense lawyer in Los Angeles who has the skills, knowledge, and dedication to help you. Federal crimes are usually investigated by agencies, such as the FBI, CIA, or other agencies. All federal charges are usually tried in the Federal Court system.  All federal courts have their own rules, and regulations, which are different from the California state penal code. If you’re under investigation, or have been arrested, for a federal crime – then you’re in a panic. Often, federal agencies will knock on your door to execute a search warrant, or to arrest you – without notice. In addition, federal prosecutors in LA will get you into court quickly. Because of their ample resources, they can investigate for a long time – and then quickly arrest you without notice. The sheer amount of resources and staff federal prosectors have makes it very likely they will secure a conviction.

Federal Crimes in Los Angeles

Everyone in California is under the jurisdiction of two court systems – the State Judiciary and the US Judiciary. Crimes that are unique to California – i.e., that are prohibited by the state statute, such as texting while driving/conducting are prosecuted by the State of California. Many serious crimes, like drug, sex, violent offenses, are prohibited by both state and federal laws. Depending on the circumstances, these offenses could end up in a federal court – or be tried by both courts.

Dual Sovereignty and Double Jeopardy
It’s rare – but if you committed a federal offense, your case could be tried twice – once in state court, and once in federal court. The sentences could stack, and can put you in prison for a good portion of your life. Many clients believe that if their case begins in one court – it cannot be tried in an another court due to double jeopardy. This is not true. Double jeopardy doesn’t eliminate the possibility of your case being tried twice. This only protects you from being tried twice in the same court jurisdiction. If there is a chance your case could end up in federal court, even if it begins in a state court – you should hire a Los Angeles criminal attorney as soon as possible who understands federal defense law.

What are the most common types of federal crimes in Los Angeles?

  • Bank robbery
  • Wire fraud
  • Property crimes
  • Money laundering
  • RICO
  • White collar crimes
  • Espionage
  • Cybercrimes
  • Human trafficking
  • Child pornography

Why should I hire a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer?

You’re accused of committing a crime. You can’t control the fact you’re being accused of committing a crime. What you can do is control whether your case goes to trial by hiring a skilled Los Angeles federal defense attorney. Not all lawyers are admitted to the federal bar, and many who are admitted – very rarely practice. If you’ve committed a federal crime, whether it’s specifically federal – or prohibited by both federal and state governments, you should speak to a Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who has the credentials to handle your case throughout the entire process.

Federal Sentencing Guidelines

The federal sentencing hearing is one of the most important hearings in a criminal defense case. The sentence, in the eyes of the court, is usually determined by the federal sentencing guidelines. With the right criminal defense attorney, you can argue for a lesser sentence – below the suggested guidelines, by discussing your background, character, previous criminal history, and your ability to be a productive member of society who follows the laws. Additionally, if there are certain mitigating factors, then you could be eligible for sentencing reductions.

Can I Get Arrested If the Police Don’t Have a Warrant?

If you’ve been arrested by the police, or any other law enforcement agency, it’s important you hire a private criminal lawyer. One of the ways our attorneys will help you is determine if the police had a legal basis to arrest you. Under California law, police officers must have probable case to arrest you for any crime. Probable cause is ascertained by either preparing a warrant, or by performing a warrantless arrest where the police has to establish facts relied upon. Typically, the police doesn’t have the authority to make an arrest without a warrant on hand. If they make an arrest without a warrant, there must be probable case. They have to justify their actions. The first question asked by your LA criminal attorney will be whether the police had a reason to arrest you. If the police get access to evidence, or hear statements, after the unlawful arrest, then those statements and evidence can be suppressed.

What About a Public Defender? Do I Really Need to Hire a Private Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney?

Public defenders are provided, and paid for, by the government to help you protect your rights. These attorneys are provided to people who cannot defend themselves.

Many people wonder why they should hire a private criminal defense lawyer if they’re being provided a public defender. While many public defenders are well trained, and have experience and knowledge – they lack the financial support that private law firms have. When you hire a private law firm, you’re paying for exceptional service and experience.
