Our criminal law attorney meets with clients to explain each defendant’s rights and options. The attorney files motions and takes cases to trial when necessary. Most cases settle after negotiation with the District Attorney’s Office. If a case proceeds to sentencing, the Centro Legal Attorney speaks for the client, making sure that the factors the judge considers are favorable to the client.
Centro Legal also helps clients with Diversion or Deferred Prosecution Agreements. These agreements are between the client and the defendant. Typically, the District Attorney agrees to not issue criminal charges if the defendant completes required AODA (alcohol and other drug abuse) or mental health treatment, stays sober, and does not pick up any new criminal charges for the duration of the agreement.
