The Consequences of a Criminal Conviction in San Diego, CA

Regardless of the type of criminal charge you face, it is important to understand that you could face serious consequences. The severity of the consequences you face depends on the nature or seriousness of the crime, the facts of the case and your prior criminal record. You could face jail time or time in prison. If you have been convicted of driving under the influence, you could be facing a driver’s license suspension or revocation.

If you have been convicted of a violent crime, for example, and you are not a U.S. citizen, you could face deportation. In addition to these consequences, you could also be looking at monetary penalties, court costs, attorneys’ fees and probation. A criminal conviction could cause you to lose your job or professional licenses that are necessary to keep your job. Since the stakes are high, it is important to retain the services of an experienced San Diego criminal defense lawyer who will help build a solid defense strategy and get your charges reduced or dismissed.

"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.
