Aggressive California Criminal Defense Attorney Fights for Your Rights

Determined lawyer represents people accused of crimes in the Fresno area

If you face criminal charges, you can be sure that the police and prosecutors will bring all their power to bear against you. That’s why you want a strong advocate to fight for your rights just as forcefully. At Balakian Law Offices, we represent people throughout California who’ve been accused of committing crimes by providing aggressive, results-oriented defense. We know the California criminal justice system, and I have both the background and skill to take on tough cases. No matter what type of charge you face, you can count on us to fight for the best possible result through tireless advocacy.

Persistent California advocate challenges the charges against you

Over the last 30 years, we have represented clients on all felony and misdemeanor matters. Felony convictions carry the most serious consequences. A person convicted of a felony can be sentenced to state prison. Although misdemeanors are less serious than felonies, a misdemeanor conviction can send you to county jail for up to one year and leave you with a record that follows you for the rest of your life.

My firm represents clients charged with:

  • Violent crimes — murder, assault, rape, and other violent crimes.
  • Driving offenses — operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol, driving with a suspended license.
  • Drug violations — trafficking, sales, possesion.
  • Sex crimes — Sentences for sexual offenses can carry lifelong consequences.
  • Theft — larceny, robbery and other theft charges.

I also work to help clients eliminate past criminal charges or get those records sealed.

Tenacious law firm presses for dismissals, exoneration and fair plea deals

Through each step of your case, we strongly challenge the prosecution to meet their burden. You can count on us to do everything our power to obtain the best possible result under the facts, whether that’s a dismissal of the charges, exoneration at trial, or a reduced sentence through a plea agreement. We have 30 years experience with witness testimony, law enforcement testimony, and crime scene investigation. We carefully examine all evidence in a case and investigate all issues. We retain the proper experts when necessary to clarify complicated issues.
