Local Long Beach Criminal Attorneys

Facing Criminal Charges?  My Long Beach Criminal Defense Law Firm
consists of experienced lawyers available to help those accused of any
manner of public offenses in south Los Angeles County.  If  you  have  
been arrested  in the Long Beach  area and are in need  of a lawyer to
defend you, my name is  Matthew Ruff  and I can help.  I have been
practicing  Criminal Law  for over fifteen years and have personally  
handled thousands of  cases.  One thing is for sure, the District Attorney's
Office has hundreds of attorneys  and millions of dollars in resources to
use to prosecute  people charged with a criminal offense. I know this
because before I devoted my career to defending persons accused of  a
crime,  I worked in one of the largest District Attorney Offices in the State
of California.  Talk to the attorney that will be representing you in Court.

I know the Local Long Beach Judicial system from the inside out having
actually tried and won criminal jury trials and having cases dismissed for
clients who did not deserve to have the stigma of a criminal conviction on
their permanent record.   Let's face it, being arrested and charged with a
criminal offense  is without a doubt one of the most stressful and
embarrassing experiences anyone can encounter.  Having the best and
brightest criminal attorney on your side and fighting for you can make all
the difference.  I treat all clients like members of my own family.

What do you look for in a Long Beach Criminal Defense Attorney?  For
starters, someone who is local and knows the South L.A./Long Beach
justice system.  Second, someone that has a  
winning track record  on
cases similar to yours.  Avoid hiring a lawyer just based on some slick
advertising or flashy video.  Avoid hiring an attorney that will hand your
case off to someone else.  

If you or a loved one has been or may be arrested you need a
LOCAL,
EXPERIENCED, AGGRESSIVE  
attorney on your side.  Defending
persons charged in the Los Angeles Superior Court in Long Beach is
what I do.  My philosophy is to zealously protect my client's constitutional
rights in Court and pursue all available legal defenses necessary to get
the charges against my client DISMISSED.  

Some of the
LONG BEACH CASES I have handled over the years are:
Drug Possession, both personal use and possession for sale, illegal
arrest transportation, manufacturing, and distribution of narcotics; Drunk
Driving, driving while impaired
DUI and driving under the influence of
drugs in Long Beach and Los Angeles County;
Three Strikes cases; False
Rape charges ,
Domestic Violence, including spousal abuse, assault and
battery, criminal threats; DMV License suspension hearings,  
public
intoxication , lewd act in public, Administrative Per Se Suspensions in  the
surrounding areas;
Felony Charges, Gang Crimes, Solicitation of
Prostitution stemming from police sting operations and Lewd Acts in
Public Allegations; Hit and Run, Probation Violations and Warrant recall
cases as well as Cruise Ship arrests in both San Pedro and Long Beach
terminals.

Unique to private practice, in most cases we can go to Court for you so
you don't have to.  Having a local Long Beach Criminal Attorney showing
up for you means that your case will be well positioned to obtain the right
disposition, including  dismissal,  getting your
breath test thrown out,
reduced criminal charges, plea bargains, trial, diversionary sentences,
civil compromise, insufficiency of evidence, conditional dismissal, among
many others.

I can also file the necessary motions to have our client  
RELEASED
FROM JAIL
 pending the Court appearance by getting Bail reduced or
arrange for a release on the person's "own recognizance" if held in the
Long Beach Jail or in the Los Angeles County Inmate Detention Center.  
We serve all cities within the jurisdiction, including
Signal Hill, San Pedro,
Wilmington, Belmont Shores, Catalina Island, Queen Mary and the Pike.

                                   
Recent Case Successes
Example 1: We were hired by a local Long Beach student that had been
charged with hit and run after leaving the scene of an accident.  The client
was close to graduating and was terrified about being convicted of a
criminal offense and having to disclose this to potential employers.  
Adding to her stress was the fact that she had initially decided to go with
the public defender who was unable to resolve the charges.  Upon being
retained we aggressively fought the case and got all charges dismissed.

Example 2: We were hired by a member of the armed forces charged with
solicitation of prostitution in long beach.  A conviction would have ruined
his military career.    Our attorney met with the Prosecution and negotiated
a complete dismissal of all charges thereby sparing our client the
consequences and stigma of a criminal record.

Example 3: Mr. Ruff was hired by a young man charged with Domestic
Violence (PC 273.5 and 243e1).  The incident involved a argument which
evolved to a 911 call to the police by the angry wife.  False statements
were made in the report. As a Long Beach Criminal Attorney who knows
the system, Mr. Ruff fought the case and obtained an acquittal (not guilty)
on all counts at trial in September 2011.

Call Attorney Ruff  Toll Free at  1-877-212-2090  to discuss your
case and all your options.  Get honest information on how he can help.

you will not be "passed off" to a
paralegal
or attorneys assistant.
