Drugs

Police departments across the United States pride themselves on keeping drugs off their streets and punishing drug dealers and manufacturers to the fullest extent of the law. Los Angeles and other Orange County municipalities are no exceptions. In their zeal to arrest drug offenders, however, police officers and prosecutors may overreach their authority and violate the rights of their targets. If you have been arrested and charged with a drug crime in Southern California, you owe it to yourself and your family to fight the charges with everything you’ve got.

Whatever drug offense you have been charged with, experienced drug crimes attorney John D. Barnett wants to hear your story.

DUI

Clearly, you will need an experienced criminal defense attorney when you are charged with causing a serious or fatal crash while you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but no DUI should be taken lightly.

You may believe there is nothing you can do if you are charged with DUI. After all, you failed a roadside sobriety test, so they already have all the evidence they need—right? Not necessarily. Let our experienced DUI defense attorney decide whether your rights were violated and argue for consequences that don’t ruin your life. You may have made a mistake, but it doesn’t have to haunt you for the rest of your life. Criminal and DUI defense attorney John D. Barnett is the right person to have on your side when facing a DUI in Southern California.

Sex Crimes

Rape and child sexual abuse are horrendous crimes—no one is disputing that fact. However, being falsely accused of these crimes—or being denied due process after an arrest for such a crime—is also horrendous. Without courageous criminal defense attorneys who are willing to defend those charged with sexual offenses, the legal rights of all Americans are in jeopardy. Attorney John D. Barnett has successfully defended victims of false rape allegations and consistently holds Orange County prosecutors to high legal standards when dealing with sex offenders.

The sex offender registry is no joke. Even a seemingly minor offense such as indecent exposure or statutory rape can land a person on the registry and destroy his ability to get a job, live in a community, and have a family. If you are charged with a sexual offense, it is vital that you fight for your rights and do everything you can to stay out of jail and off the registry. Contact the Law Office of John D. Barnett to discuss your case when you are accused of a sex offense in Southern California.
