VALENCIA COURT
    PETTY THEFT

    I WAS ARRESTED AT MACY'S
    FOR STEALING A PAIR OF
    EARRINGS AND A WATCH.

    AT THE TIME, I WAS GOING
    THROUGH A VERY
    DIFFICULT TIME WITH MY
    BOYFRIEND. I DON'T KNOW
    WHY I STOLE, IT WAS NOT
    FOR THE MONEY.

    I MET WITH MR. ZAVALA,
    AND EXPLAINED TO HIM
    THAT IF I GOT A
    CONVICTION, I WOULD GET
    KICKED OUT OF COLLEGE
    AT UC BERKLEY.  

    I WAS VERY SCARED, BUT
    MR. ZAVALA REASSURED ME
    HE WOULD TAKE CARE OF
    ME. I DON'T KNOW HOW HE
    DID IT, BUT THE
    PROSECUTOR AGREED TO
    DISMISS ALL CHARGES
    AGAINST ME. I GOT NO
    PROBATION, NO FINES AND
    NO CONVICTION.

    Thank you Mr. Zavala.

Our law firm is exclusively devoted to the practice of Criminal Defense. We have
successfully litigated in excess of 1000 criminal cases. We handle cases in the Substances,
Assault With a Deadly Weapon, Robbery, Kidnapping, Sex Crimes, Three Strikes and
Homicide.

Attorney Zavala is fluent in Spanish as well as our entire legal staff. Our philosophy is that
every client should be treated with respect, care and honesty. We do not believe that our
clients should "plead guilty". Instead, we believe that every client is innocent until the
prosecution has done its job and proven otherwise. It is for this reason that we employ
the services of a well known private investigator with 25 years experience as a former
LAPD Detective, also employ Forensic Toxicologists and consult with some of the best
expert witnesses in the field.

We investigate each case in great detail and no stone is left unturned. All witnesses are
interviewed by our investigator and their statements to the police carefully
scrutinized.We will do background checks on all witnesses as well as locate witnesses
favorable to the defense. We will revisit the crime scene and conduct our own crime
scenes investigation. Including photographing, sketching and mapping the crime scene.

We routinely file legal motions to challenge the prosecutions' case. Such as Motions to
Suppress Evidence Based on An Illegal Search or Illegal Arrest, Motions to Challenge a
Confession Obtained in Violation of Your Miranda Rights, Motions for Confidential
Records of Discipline or Complaints Against the Arresting Officers, Motions to Dismiss
the Charges, and Motions to Obtain Evidence (such as a 911 Tape) and many others. IN
