San Fernando Criminal Defense Guide

Where You Can Find Us if You Live in the Valley

If you’re seeking a legal defense for a crime in the San Fernando Valley, you can contact our office anytime in downtown Burbank. We can be found near Griffith Observatory and the famous Hollywood sign. While others take tours of Hollywood studios nearby, we work in the local courts to ensure our clients receive a top legal defense.

You can find us at 300 North Third Street, Suite 116, in Burbank, CA 91502—call (818) 861-0861 day or night.

Our approach to criminal defense in the San Fernando Valley is different. We focus on serving clients locally, which gives us an intimate knowledge of local court procedures, district attorney office practices, and police protocols.

We are Experienced in Criminal Defense

We’re San Fernando Valley Bar Association members and have strong professional relationships with prosecutors, court staff, and judges.

The Farris Law Firm handles all types of criminal defense cases. We have experience with DUIs, from first-time misdemeanors to felony DUIs with injury.

We defend clients for property crimes, including vandalism, theft, and burglary. Our practice includes handling drug cases, including possession, distribution, and manufacturing. We also represent clients for violent crime, weapons charges, and domestic violence.

We Offer Personalized Legal Services

What makes our defense strategy work is our personalized approach. We limit our caseload so each client gets the attention their case deserves. Instead of using aggressive “attack dog” tactics that often backfire, we use strategic planning and our knowledge of local legal practices. We know the community resources for rehabilitation and support, which often come in handy when exploring alternative sentencing options.

A criminal charge can affect every area of your life – from jail time to professional licensing, immigration status, and future employment opportunities. We know the stakes and work to protect your rights every step of the way. Our role includes challenging evidence, questioning witnesses, identifying constitutional violations, and exploring all sentencing options.

How We’ll Handle Your Case

You’ll get full legal guidance and support when you contact the Farris Law Firm. We will spend our time protecting your constitutional rights and informing you regularly. Our defense is aggressive and ethical without using “attack dog” tactics. Many cases we’ve represented have been dismissed because of a constitutional violation or insufficient evidence. Your case will be customized based on your case factors.

Why the Farris Law Firm is Different

Charles and Beatrice Farris established the Farris Law Firm in 2024 with a different legal approach. Their objective is to offer local legal services to people who need a skilled criminal defense. They are well-known for providing legal help throughout the San Fernando Valley.

To ensure they stand out from others in the legal profession, the legal team at the Farris Law Firm is committed to taking on fewer cases to ensure they meet all their client’s legal needs. They strategize defenses so they come out with more positive results, avoiding the aggressive methods that other criminal defense lawyers use. Their relationships with the local district attorney and judicial system help them better serve San Fernando and the Valley clients.

Customizing a Defense Strategy

We want to get to know each of our clients so we can offer the best legal and personal support. That is why we’re devoted to reviewing each case individually. Each case involves different criteria—factors and elements that make it unique.

Dismissals

We also know that sometimes, officers don’t follow legal protocols, so we can have many cases dismissed. Look at our record, and you’ll see that we have been successful in proving that mistakes were made or that there wasn’t enough evidence.

Plea Bargaining

Plea bargaining may also be helpful. For example, we have been successful in reducing a charge from DUI to a wet, reckless conviction instead. We can reduce the charge if there is a lack of evidence or the BAC is low. It also might happen if the prosecution can’t prove your case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Depend on Us for a Better Outcome to Your Case

For those charged with a crime, we go beyond the courtroom. We advise clients on what to do after an arrest: remain silent about the case, document all interactions with the police, preserve evidence, and manage their online presence. We ensure clients know and follow all court requirements, from attending hearings to meeting pretrial release conditions.

Located in downtown Burbank, we serve the entire San Fernando Valley 24/7. We offer same-day appointments, free consultations, and Spanish-speaking services to ensure all our clients have access to legal support.

What to Expect During Your First Visit
