Firm Information
Overview
At Tedford & Associates, we provide rigorous, strategic defense counsel to individuals facing criminal allegations in state and federal courts. Based in Pasadena, California, our firm operates with an uncompromising standard of legal professionalism, technical diligence and constitutional integrity. We understand that a criminal charge carries profound consequences for your freedom, reputation, and future. Our objective is to deliver structured, high-caliber legal advocacy designed to protect your constitutional rights and achieve the most favorable outcome possible.
Our primary practice is focused on complex criminal defense litigation, with defense strategies tailored to DUI/DWIs, drug violations and sex offenses. Facing a driving under the influence charge requires a sophisticated technical defense that challenges breath and blood testing accuracy, field sobriety protocols and law enforcement procedure. In narcotics cases – ranging from simple possession to complex possession with intent to distribute – we scrutinize search and seizure operations to challenge unlawful police conduct. Furthermore, when defending against sensitive sex offense allegations, we conduct exhaustive independent investigations, analyze forensic evidence, and challenge witness credibility with complete discretion and precision.
We approach every case with a proactive, evidence-based strategy. Rather than taking a passive approach, we immediately initiate independent investigations, subpoena critical records, analyze prosecution evidence for procedural defects and construct formidable pretrial motions. Whether negotiating for a reduction or dismissal of charges or presenting a structured defense before a jury, our preparation ensures that your interests are protected at every phase of the judicial process.
At Tedford & Associates, we prioritize objective counsel and transparent communication, ensuring you remain fully informed of your legal options and procedural standing. When your rights and future are on the line, our Pasadena legal team provides the disciplined, highly professional defense required to navigate the criminal justice system effectively.
