Tustin Criminal Defense Attorney
Trustworthy and Professional Legal Representation
In the eyes of the law, if you have been charged with a crime, you are considered innocent unless proven guilty. The burden rests on the prosecutor to show that you are the person who committed the crime. A judge or jury must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt. You don’t have to prove your innocence, but you cannot simply leave your case to fate. The prosecutor will gather and present various pieces of evidence to seek a guilty verdict. As a defendant, you can raise counterarguments to refute the prosecutor’s allegations and cast doubt in the minds of the triers of fact. Challenging criminal allegations can be difficult, as you must present your own evidence and follow specific rules and laws. Fortunately, you do not have to do this on your own. A Tustin criminal defense lawyer can help.
At the Law Offices of Christian Kim, we have over 20 years of legal experience and have assisted clients through misdemeanor and felony matters. Our attorney is a former prosecutor who knows how the other side of the law thinks and prepares for cases. We leverage this insight to develop strategic defenses for our clients, anticipating our opponent’s moves and developing arguments to weaken their claims. Delivering aggressive and comprehensive legal representation, we pursue just outcomes for our clients.

Representation for Your Criminal Matter
The California Penal Code contains statutes concerning various types of unlawful conduct. Violating any of these laws can result in a misdemeanor or felony charge. If you are found guilty of the alleged offense, you could be sentenced to incarceration, ordered to pay fines, and/or face any other penalties associated with the crime.
Although the punishments for criminal activity are severe, they are not a guarantee. You have a right to challenge the allegations against you and seek a favorable outcome, such as dropped charges or reduced sentences. Because of the complexities of the criminal justice process, you might be overwhelmed if you try to take on your case yourself.
A lawyer can assist in challenging the accusations against you. When choosing legal representation, ensure that your potential attorney has experience in the justice system, preferably with fighting charges similar to yours.
Our Tustin criminal defense lawyer represents clients accused of offenses that include, but are not limited to, the following:

"If you want a straightforward no nonsense attorney he is your guy."Christian handled my case very well and every question I had was answered promptly and clearly. I expected to hear positive feedback as I am not realistic at times so when Christian brings me back to reality it’s based on his experience as a former DA. Knowledgeable and steadfast in his pursuit for a fair outcome for his clients. Every case is different but the common denominator for having a fair/good/great outcome in any case is a no nonsense attorney armed with knowledge and that is who Christian is. My case is done today but he is always a phone call away for advice. He’s an overall great human to deal with.- Jella J.
