Santa Ana Criminal Defense Law Firm

Overview

Criminal Defense Firm With Offices in Orange County and Los Angeles County

As the sole proprietor of the Law Offices of Christopher J. McCann, I focus exclusively on criminal defense cases, specializing in representing those arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in court and with the DMV (see http://cjmdefense.com/dui-defense/what-happens-after-dui-arrest), as well as those charged with drug possession and sales, domestic violence, theft crimes (including petty theft, grand theft, embezzlement and burglary), criminal threats, assault and battery, forgery and fraud. To get more information about each of these specialized areas of defense, please see: http://www.cjmdefense.com.

Inspired Defense of My Clients

I take great pride and interest in fighting for my clients, but I also take a personal satisfaction in finding inventive defenses and creative solutions that take my client's personal needs into consideration. I have helped clients divert from "the system", and helped them to avoid lengthy periods of incarceration by finding dispositions that better suit their needs, such as pre-filing diversion, house arrest, electronic monitoring bracelets, drug and alcohol programs, mental health programs and many more. I enjoy finding integrative solutions that meet my client's needs. To see more examples of the successes I have achieved for my clients, please see: http://www.cjmdefense.com.

Dedication to My Clients

I have made several thousand appearances in criminal court in Southern California where I have fought aggressively in defense of my clients' rights. I treat each client's case with utmost care and attention because I know it is likely the most serious and frightening thing occurring in that person's life. You have my promise that if you trust me with that responsibility, I will fight for you because it is also my reputation on the line. See how I personally handle each client's case at http://www.cjmdefense.com.

Committed to Personal Service

When you hire me to represent you, you have my promise that I will personally handle your case from start to finish. No other attorney will appear in court or work on your case. I handle all court appearances. I do all of the work. No one else. When you call my office, you'll speak to me and no one else. I will personally return any unanswered calls within 24 hours. For more information on my personal commitment to customer service, please see: http://www.cjmdefense.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars

I unfortunately made some irresponsible decisions in my past and since a good amount of time had passed, I needed legal counsel. I originally paid for a different lawyer who basically took my money and didn't do crap for me, he even wrote a lot of incorrect information in my motion. I then found Chris through searching DUI lawyers in Orange County here on Yelp and it was one of the best decisions I could have made. He is on top of his game and he fought for me! I will recommend Chris to anyone I know if they ever have an encounter with the law and need legal counsel. I cannot praise him and the work he does enough. Thank you again Chris

Christopher McCann has my highest rating as an attorney you can trust to go the extra mile for you – he did for us. Christopher went above and beyond in helping navigate a 2nd DUI charge. He showed up and kept showing up in court to get a fair result. Chris is honest and straightforward - an attorney you can trust.

How do I choose a lawyer?

Consider the following:

Comfort Level
- Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?

Credentials
- How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?

Cost
- How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?

City
- Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?

Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?

Here are a few to get you started:

  • How long have you been in practice?
  • How many cases like mine have you handled?
  • How often do you settle cases out of court?
  • What are your fees and costs?
  • What are the next steps?

Want to check lawyer discipline?

It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:

  • Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
  • Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
  • Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
