Criminal Defense

(530) 287-9579

Being arrested and charged with a criminal offense is often a life-altering event. You could lose your job. If you are a divorced parent, you may lose custody or visitation with your children. If you are convicted, you could lose your liberty for a long time, and be forced to pay a hefty fine and/or restitution.

With both your freedom and your future at risk, you need the assistance of a criminal defense attorney who you can trust, and who will understand your side of the story, look at the case from all angles, and be responsive to your questions and concerns. You will find those attributes if you choose Jeffrey Kaloustian to guide you through this crisis time.

Mr. Kaloustian, at the Law Office of Jeffrey Kaloustian, will provide you the vigorous defense to which you are legally entitled under both the California and U.S. Constitutions. He does not overpromise. He works tirelessly for the freedom and best interests of his clients.

As with all of this defense matters, Jeffrey is great at keeping you informed, being responsive to your questions and explaining defense strategy to you. He will always go the extra mile to provide individualized attention and to deliver the desired case results. His approach to practicing law is a holistic one: it is fueled by both his professional duties to, as well as a deep compassion for, his clients as people. These special qualities together have lead to over ten years worth of highly-satisfied clients. 

Mr. Kaloustian's skilled representation at your DMV hearing is included in his complete DUI Defense services as well.

It is extremely important that you exercise your Fifth Amendment rights and not speak to anyone about your case except your attorney. For example, anything you say to your friends, family, or cellmate can later be used against you at your trial. Additionally, Mr. Kaloustian works to protect all your rights under both the California and federal constitutions. This includes your:

  • Fourth Amendment right to be free from warrantless searches and seizures without probable cause.
  • Fifth Amendment right to be silent and to the due process of law.
  • Sixth Amendment right to an attorney, a speedy trial, and to confront witnesses against you.

He always goes the extra mile in order to minimize the consequences for clients who are facing criminal charges.

If going to trial is a better option, Jeffrey is  a truly exceptional courtroom advocate with the passion, expertise and tenacity to present your case to a jury and win.
