For those people with criminal cases pending in the San Fernando Courthouse, you want to find an attorney who gets good results, and that's where we come in.
With a career spanning over 30 years, I've had the privilege of practicing law in the San Fernando Courthouse. I vividly recall the aftermath of the 1994 Northridge earthquake, when the courthouse was temporarily closed, and court proceedings were held across the street during repairs.
So, I have a rich background in that courthouse dating back to the early 1990s and have gotten many good results. Partially through skill and because I do a lot of cases there, I know the prosecutors, the judges, and what it takes to marshal up a case so that we can fight for you if you're not guilty. If you're guilty, work out a resolution that makes sense based on your life circumstances.
As a criminal defense attorney, my foremost commitment is to understand you—your life, circumstances, and concerns. This understanding forms the basis of a resolution that is not only legally sound but also sensible and considerate of your unique situation.
Some clients come to me adamant that they are innocent and unwilling to accept any deals. In these cases, I'm ready to fight. I'll prepare the case for trial and do everything in my power to secure a victory. Your innocence is my priority.
Other clients with pending cases in the San Fernando courthouse say I realize they've got evidence against me. I want to get the best resolution possible, and they will often give me specific concerns. Maybe they're afraid to go to jail. Perhaps they don't want to register as a sex offender if it's a sex offense. Maybe they don't want to lose their gun rights. The list goes on and on and on.
Seeking the Best Possible Outcome
The bottom line is I will talk to them about what they are concerned about, and then, if I'm negotiating to try to resolve their case, I will try to craft a resolution that makes sense for them. That, to me, is what the best criminal defense attorneys do. They figure out what happened in the case.
They figure out whether or not they can get a not-guilty verdict or get the case dismissed by way of some broken law or a motion that can be filed. If they can't get it dismissed, they figure out a way to resolve it, and they talk to their clients about it.
Prior Experience
I've worked in the San Fernando courthouse for over 30 years as the district attorney early in my career and as a superior court judge as his research attorney early in my career.
So, I've got a good background on how the system works. Also, in 2002, I worked for the JNE Commission, a commission sanctioned by the State Bar of California.
What we did was investigate those people who were potential judges. Even some judges that the Governor of California was considering elevating to be a judge, or for those who were already judges, the Governor was deciding whether or not they would get the Court of Appeals.
That was an exciting job. It gave me some good background on how things worked. That's important when going through all these different cases with peoples' lives on the line.
So, if you need the best – if you need somebody who's well-rounded and has a lot of experience in the San Fernando courthouse, pick up the phone. Ask for a meeting with Ron Hedding. I stand at the ready to help you.
