Riverside There's No Alternative

Riverside Criminal Defense Lawyers

Providing Top-Notch Legal Representation

Being arrested for a crime can be terrifying. Some people panic and try to evade the law, while others believe themselves to be especially smart and try to manipulate officers and the court system. Although some people may view a possible conviction on their records as a minor setback, others cannot afford to suffer the potential penalties, as a conviction could lead to difficulty obtaining employment, taking advantage of government assistance opportunities, as well as sustaining long-term relationships. Additionally, anyone determined to find out whether or not someone has a criminal record can do so with a phone, tablet, or computer through as little as an internet connection.

There are a lot of pitfalls that Riverside criminal defense lawyers are trained to identify and avoid on your behalf. Prosecutors are well aware of the actions that defendants take to try and get themselves out of trouble, and often use these situations to help prove a defendant’s guilt.

The Law Offices of Randy Collins is dedicated to providing every client with effective legal representation. In addition to being a recipient of the 10 Best Client Satisfaction, Attorney Collins was the previous District Attorney for the County of Riverside, and has a 9.9 out of 10 attorney rating.

Why Do I Need a Criminal Defense Attorney?

If you’re facing charges, a criminal defense attorney can help in several ways, including:

Damage Control

Throughout the initial stages of your arrest, the police will do their best to collect evidence to use against you. Prosecutors will attempt to use that evidence to convict you. While you may have already mistakenly offered up evidence to your arresting officers, opportunities may exist to have that evidence deemed inadmissible in court. Your Riverside criminal lawyer must manage damage control and prevent prosecutors from being able to use any evidence they would like throughout your court proceedings.

Case Evaluations

An attorney will help in evaluating your case to determine its strengths and weaknesses. Unless you are a licensed Riverside defense attorney, you are not going to be able to properly assess your case and identify all your options. An experienced lawyer will be able to do just that and help you better understand the penalties you are facing and how you can proceed.

Case Dismissals and Plea Bargains

The prosecutor’s goal is to obtain a conviction against you in the shortest possible time. Can you imagine what would happen if you tried representing yourself? You would make the prosecutor’s job very easy. Prosecutors are well trained and have several years of experience in the Riverside court system to take advantage of naïve defendants. Without an attorney, you may miss opportunities to have your case dismissed or to obtain a beneficial plea bargain. Prosecutors see defendants that do not have attorneys the way a shark sees blood in the ocean.

Courtroom Influence

An experienced Riverside criminal defense attorney will have an extensive network of connections within the justice department. Having a professional relationship with judges, clerks, prosecutors, and detectives dealing with your case helps your attorney better prepare. A plea bargain, dismissal, or reduced sentence may come up through such professional privileges.

Protecting Your Rights

The police work hard to get a defendant prosecuted. With that in mind, it would be dangerous to think that you can handle your case by yourself. In some cases, police play dirty to obtain evidence used to convict defendants. A Riverside defense lawyer will help expose unlawfully obtained evidence and help it deemed inadmissible.

Commonly Committed Crimes in Riverside

Riverside is home to several regularly occurring crimes. But some are committed far more frequently than others.

The following offenses have a relatively high occurrence rate throughout Riverside County:

Get Started with a Free Consultation

If you’re facing charges in Riverside County, seek out a consultation from an attorney as soon as possible following your arrest. Riverside PD will take advantage of defendants that do not understand their legal right to remain silent and can push defendants to incriminate themselves, even if they are not guilty of their alleged crimes.

At the Law Offices of Randy Collins, our Riverside criminal defense lawyers firmly believe that just because a person is accused of a crime does not mean that they should be looked down upon in any way. Some firms treat their clients with little to no respect simply because they have been accused or arrested. Our attorneys understand that many charged with criminal offenses are not guilty, and many others made choices that were not an accurate representation of their character.

Don’t let Riverside prosecutors take advantage of you, reach out to us to find out how our lawyers can help you avoid exorbitant fees and penalties.

"They are such a great team to work with."
I was new in the US and I didn’t know anything or what to do from Day 1 from presenting my case to Randy. He reassured me that he would help me and that I shouldn’t worry. He was very supportive, responsive to every question no matter how silly it was he was very patient and comforting. He knew exactly how to address the problem and had a plan of action and after a long 2 years, he won my case I appreciate every effort Randy & Chris have done. They are such a great team to work with and I would recommend him in a heartbeat

"Randy is one of the best attorney's you could ever have."
Randy is one of the best attorneys you could ever have. I’m eternally grateful to Randy and his team for his dedication and professionalism. Randy is very brilliant when it comes to felonies, probation violations, or other criminal cases... Randy is the best lawyer you can have. when other lawyers told me they couldn’t help me out... Randy always told me he can help me and there was never an impossible case to bring in his favor. He was always in touch and keeping me updated on my case, and he gave me the peace and comfort I needed during difficult times. This is the second time he has had to help me stay away from jail. I will never look into other lawyers. I’ll be a loyal client to Randy from now on. You are #1, Randy. Thank you

"We are forever thankful to have found Randy."
I cannot express how grateful I am to Randy and his team for the amazing job representing my dad. He was detailed, dedicated, and truly caring for my family throughout the entire process. We are forever thankful to have found Randy. It is rare to find a legal team that feels like extended family. We truly felt so cared for by him and Chris. His knowledge and expertise helped guide us through a very difficult situation and we are so happy to have found this team. I would refer Randy to anyone looking for legal representation.

Randy worked tirelessly for over two years to have my case dismissed and I can’t thank him enough for everything that he did for me.

Ray
"He went above and beyond!"
Mr. Collins is highly recommended. He really takes the time to listen and answer all your questions. He went above and beyond on helping me out with an issue that was never my fault.

Erik
"Caring and Genuine Attorney"
I called the office and right off the bat, I was super impressed at how much help I was receiving without even meeting in person. Chris (the guy who answered my call) is extremely nice and he explains everything so well. He told me how he used to work at the courts for many years (that gave me relief that he knew what he was talking about). Randy (the attorney) is delightful as well and put my worries to rest with his expertise and knowledge. You can tell by his demeanor and how passionate he speaks, that he is genuine and he cares about his clients. This office handles everything from DUI cases to just about anything criminal related.

Former Client
