Encinitas Criminal Defense Attorneys
You Can Depend on jD Law Criminal Defense Attorneys After an Arrest in Encinitas
As a prime location for days at the beach, downtown Encinitas hosts regular events every year. Some of the most popular events revolve around merriment, foreign foods, and drinking, such as the city's own miniature Oktoberfest. While these attractions are meant to draw in visitors from all over North County for a day of fun, it is also true that the atmosphere can lend itself to increased crime.
At jD Law Criminal Defense Attorneys, we understand that mistakes can be made or claims can be exaggerated when tensions run high. It is for this reason that we and our lead Encinitas criminal defense attorney, Mr. James N. Dicks, have devoted the entirety of our practice to protecting the rights of the criminally accused.
