Burbank Lawyers

Burbank Courthouse handles more than six thousand criminal cases each year, divided among four courtrooms. Division 1 and Department G typically handle felony cases, while Divisions 2 and 3 generally handle misdemeanor matters. Burbank Lawyers represent clients in each of the courtrooms for a variety of violations, including, theft, drug possession, hit and run, DUI, probation matters, and bench warrants. It is critical to have representation if you are accused of any criminal violation in Burbank. Early intervention can be helpful in guiding a case in a better direction, depending on the circumstances.

An effective Burbank Attorney will understand the nuances of each courtroom, as well as the most appropriate approaches for each client. While felony cases may present a few alternatives, Burbank misdemeanor cases may allow for a person charged to enter a diversion program, which could allow for a dismissal of charges. Each diversion case is evaluated by the Burbank City Attorney's Office on a case by case basis. Your attorney should understand if your case may be suitable for this type of resolution, and take early intervention on your behalf if you may be eligible.

The prosecutor's office will look at specific factors when deciding if a case is suitable for a court alternative, including criminal history, seriousness of the charges, remorsefulness of the accused, as well as positive contributions to the community on the behalf of the accused.
