Crimes by Code Section

In California, the State legislature has separated crimes into different groupings of codes depending on what kind of crime has been committed. The Penal Code defines the majority of crimes that are criminal in nature except for certain crimes. Those other crimes related to drugs and narcotics are covered under the California Health & Safety Code, while violations and crimes associated with driving and roadways are codified in the California Vehicle Code.

While researching law firms in Los Angeles, I contacted the Kraut Law Group. I spoke to an attorney about a specific issue, with the caveat that I'd like to get it wrapped up by a particular date. My attorney was honest, straightforward, and professional. I wasn't made any unrealistic promises, but was assured that he would do everything in his power to get the best possible outcome. Throughout the process he was responsive and informative about the next steps and the various potential outcomes along the way. True to his word, the handling of the information and navigating the court system led to an outcome that was best I could hope for. Chris Ward

I can’t thank the Kraut Law Group enough, for helping me with my case. It was one of the most stressful and uncertain moments of my life. I didn’t feel like I had any control over what was going to happen next, and the fear of how this could affect my future was weighing heavily on me. From the moment I contacted Kraut Law Group, everything changed. They immediately gave me a sense of reassurance, clearly laid out a plan of action, and stood by me every step of the way.
