Call Riverside DUI & Criminal Defense Attorney Joseph W.
Galasso.
I represent clients in criminal cases in the Inland Empire, Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange County.
I have handled well over 6,000 criminal cases during my 20+ years as a criminal defense attorney.
I know the courts, prosecutors, judges and the criminal justice system inside and out.
When your retain me, you will get: (1) - MY PERSONAL ATTENTION & REPRESENTATION - You will have me personally as your attorney, not a junior associate or a contract lawyer.
I will personally handle all aspects of your case myself unless we agree otherwise for certain courts/dates where I cannot be in two places at the same time.
(2) - LEGAL EXPERIENCE - I will bring my years of experience as a former prosecutor (ADA) and, NOW as a private Criminal Defense attorney to help you get the best possible outcome.
No one should plead guilty or rely on an overburdened public defender.
The hiring of an experienced criminal defense lawyer who has the time to work on your case is always the best option when faced with jail, prison, fines, parole and a lifelong criminal record.
(3) - ACCESSIBILITY - You can reach me during the day, evenings, and weekends.
(4) - REDUCED STRESS & ANXIETY - I WILL SHOW UP IN COURT FOR YOU (MOST CASES) - You will not have to show up in court for the majority of misdemeanor cases.
I can appear in court for you which can spare you much anxiety and embarrassment.
If I cannot get your felony charges dismissed or reduced ahead of time, you will need to appear in court --at least once.
That said, I will be right by your side making the appearance as stress-free as possible.
Evening and weekend appointments are available by special arrangement.
Call (951) 225-4130 to obtain a free consultation, or email me via this posting to schedule your free consultation.
