Los Angeles Criminal Defense Lawyer

Treating Your Legal Issue As My Own

When the long arm of the law is reaching for you, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney committed to protecting your rights. I'm attorney Marc A. Legget. My law firm is dedicated exclusively to defending people accused of crimes in the Los Angeles and surrounding communities in Southern California.

I provide aggressive defense with the goal of getting charges dismissed or minimizing the consequences of any criminal charges against you. I will never advise you to accept a result that is not in your best interest.

I handle a wide range of criminal cases, including:

• Drunk Driving : Whether this is your first DUI and you face misdemeanor DUI charges, or you have had several past DUI convictions and now face felony DUI charges, a strong defense is essential. I also defend people facing criminal charges for hit and run, driving on a suspended or revoked license, or other serious traffic offenses.
• Drug Crimes : Criminal possession of illegal or legal drugs is one of the most commonly charged crimes in Southern California. I defend people on any drug charge including possession with intent to sell, drug sales, drug transport, and repeat drug offenses. Under California Proposition 36, you may qualify for drug treatment rather than jail time. I'll explain if you qualify.
• Violent Crimes : I defend clients facing charges for assault, assault and battery, domestic violence, assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter and murder.
• White Collar Crimes : From fraud and embezzlement to identity theft and credit card theft, I work hard to protect your rights in court.

I have more than 23 years of criminal trial experience under my belt. That can make a tremendous difference in your case so I handle every case personally, from start to finish. Contact my Los Angeles criminal defense law office for a free initial consultation or call 310-553-2900.
