The California bar exam is one of the most difficult if not the most difficult bar exam in the country. The fact that you passed the bar exam and are now practicing law is one of the biggest accomplishes of your life but your families life as well. So, if you find yourself in a situation where you are being charged with a misdemeanor or felony crime you need to hire an criminal defense attorney immediately to protect your bar card and the well being of your family.
At Pilchman & Kay, PLC our Southern California criminal defense firm specifically handles cases where lawyers are charged with a crime. Our attorneys Anita A. Kay and Courtney E. Pilchman are both former prosecutors who handled very large caseloads and high profile cases for the district attorneys office. They have handled thousands of cases from minor misdemeanors such as Driving Under the Influence, Domestic Abuse and Petty Theft to major felonies such as Theft, Fraud, Child Abuse and Murder.
Because we also are practicing attorneys we know how devastating it could be to you and your family if you have your California law license suspended or revoked. The State Bar of California has very specific rules for reporting criminal conduct and failure to do so could lead to a suspension when full disclosure at the outset may not.
Not all criminal defense firms have the experience and background to work with the State Bar of California on licensing issues so it is important to find an attorney who can work with you on both matters. Our Southern California law firm has offices in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego so contact us for a free consultation if you have been charged with a crime.
