WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION:


Are you under investigationCalifornia crime detectives often do not tell you that your voluntary statements may be used against you as confessions should the matter proceed to court. These investigators use various techniques in obtaining a confession from you. in Los Angeles, it is not unusual for a detective to pretend he or she will give you a break if you cooperate.
Crime detectives or police officers also use trickery to obtain information from you. In addition, it is a common technique to intimidate the suspect so that he may feel that he has no choice but to talk.
Our Los Angeles criminal Defense Attorneys provide you with effective and aggressive representation, so you will not have to worry about any of these issues. Your attorney, if necessary, will immediately assert your right against self-incrimination and the right to remain silent.
At the Law Offices of Tony M. Seyfi, our criminal defense attorneys will prepare our client before any type of dialogue with the detective. We will make proper objections if irrelevant or damaging questions are asked of our client. And, if necessary, we will terminate the questioning to preserve the constitutional rights of our client.
The key to any pre-filing investigation and questioning is "damage control". Unrepresented clients tend to damage their own defense by making voluntary statement, making up facts that have no basis, or come up with creative defenses that tend to harm the case. Once damage is done, it is difficult for an attorney to correct it. So it is crucial that you utilize the expertise of an attorney specialized in this area of defense.
At the Law Offices of Tony M. Seyfi in Los Angeles, our criminal defense lawyers will also focus on the privacy of clients. If needed, we will make arrangements with the detective to make an arrest at a time and location that is not embarrassing to our client.  If you are under investigation for a crime in Los Angeles County, Orange County, Riverside County or San Bernardino County, and you believe you are innocent, or you are unsure of the defenses you may have, please contact the Law Offices of Tony M. Seyfi for a FREE CONSULTATION today.

LOS ANGELES CRIMINAL ATTORNEYS DEFENDING GRAFFITI CHARGES

January 21, 2011, California.

Santa Ana Police Department takes threats to California governor, Jerry Brown, seriously.  It appears that the threats made to the California governor are direct and explicit in that the threats have been placed in the form of graffiti on the walls.  The threats give a specific date on which the governor is supposed to be assassinated.  In California it is a crime to place graffiti on the walls and a separate crime to make a criminal threat. Political motives and freedom of speech are not proper criminal defenses and could not be asserted by no criminal defense attorney.  These threats come shortly after the attempted murder of Arizona republican, Gabrielle Giffords and the killing of six others.  The criminal defense attorney who is representing the suspect in the Arizona case has not commented on the recent threats.   

California has long been the center of activity by various criminal gangs who exchange threats to rival gangs by placing graffiti on the walls and sending serious messages to rival gang members that their lives may be in danger or coming to an end.  However, criminal attorneys rarely confront situations where street walls are used as a medium to convey a serious threat to a political figure.   

California, particularly Los Angeles County has long battled the crime of graffiti writing.  This time, Santa Ana police is faced with a serious threat and must take protecting the life of the sitting governor seriously.   

In the context of criminal defense, Attorneys could defend the suspect charged with felony graffiti charges by alleging mistaken identity.  Alleging that the suspect is not the one who did the alleged crime is common in defending graffiti charges.  This mistaken identity defense could be proven by comparing the writings on the walls with multiple writing samples from the suspect(s). 


Threats that are made using graffiti on street walls must be taken seriously by California authorities.  Many gangs follow through with the threats that they make against rival gang members.  Gang members usually use signs, monikers and unique tattoos to deliver a message.  In general, gangs in the Los Angeles and Orange County areas have been problematic for the law enforcement and there has been a long battle between major gangs and the authorities - with gangs attempting to announce their presence or success and the authorities trying to declare successful suppression of same gangs.   

The Law Offices of Tony M. Seyfi, APLC is the leading criminal defense attorney law firm in the center of Los Angeles, California and has locations throughout entire Southern California.  The Attorneys in the law firm are specialized in successfully defending gang allegation charges by applying their knowledge of the California court system and the method of operation by California Law Enforcement.
