Police and the DA's Office in Hollywood

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) operates the Hollywood Area Jail in Hollywood, CA. This small jail, located within the Hollywood Community Police Station, serves as a temporary holding facility for men and women who have been arrested for a misdemeanor or felony offense in California.

Expert in Prefiling Intervention

Our criminal defense law firm specializes in a proactive process known as “prefiling intervention.” This process involves early advocacy with law enforcement and prosecuting agencies to try to reduce charges or even have them dropped completely before the first court date, providing you with reassurance and a head start in your defense.

Prefiling Intervention in Criminal Cases

Our commitment to exploring all possible avenues to secure the best outcome for our clients is unwavering.

We leave no stone unturned in your defense, which may potentially lead to reduced charges, a more favorable plea bargain, or even a complete dismissal of the charges.

This dedication gives you hope for a positive resolution and reassures you of our thorough approach to your case.

To achieve a successful prefiling intervention, we partner with our clients to assemble the facts that led to the arrest, the surrounding circumstances, and, critically, the significant mitigating factors that contextualize the alleged conduct.

In some cases, we locate witnesses, videos, and other exculpatory evidence with the assistance of a private investigator to build the defense case. There may be legally significant issues of proof that must be highlighted to show that a case cannot be successfully prosecuted against our client beyond a reasonable doubt.

Focused on Dismissing the Case

Our goal is to present all material facts to the government before the court. We leave no stone unturned, ensuring that every relevant detail is brought to light.

This comprehensive approach can often lead to the dismissal of the arrest offense, providing you with a sense of security in your defense and demonstrating our commitment to transparency and thorough preparation.

In many cases, there will be both issues of proof and significant mitigating factors. Once we assemble the necessary information with the help of our clients, we are ready to present a formal written position to law enforcement and the prosecuting agencies.

In a typical prefiling intervention, we present several legal positions to the government as we develop the facts of the case.

The arguments raise reasonable doubt, showing that the charges will not be proven to a jury and that the case should not be formally filed in court.

In other cases, the facts are not in question, but there are critical contextual details that mitigate, meaning to make less serious, our client's alleged conduct.

We defend clients facing state and federal criminal charges throughout Los Angeles County. We are committed to providing a strong defense for our clients, often handling the pre-filing defense for police investigations to prevent or reduce charges.

Successful Case Outcomes

No Charges Filed in a Sex Crime Case: A sex offense investigation into a professor was concluded without formal charges following strong intervention and the submission of defense evidence.
No Charges Filed in an Embezzlement Case: The embezzlement case was resolved without formal charges being filed in court after presenting defense evidence.
Felony Case Reduced to a Misdemeanor: Judicial diversion was granted after the case was reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor following a car theft arrest. Our client will have their charges dismissed entirely upon completing community service.
Domestic Violence Case Dismissed: Charges of domestic violence against an attorney were dropped after a year-long investigation. The alleged victim was a peace officer. The firm's prompt intervention played a crucial role.
Domestic Violence Charges Dropped: A social media personality accused of a domestic violence felony had the case dismissed in court after their defense presented evidence, resulting in no charges.

We have a proven record of winning criminal cases in Hollywood, California.

We have assisted many clients before the formal filing of criminal charges in a process called prefiling intervention. This is the period after arrest but before charges are filed.

Preventing a Conviction by Opting for Diversion

In other cases, we may be able to persuade the prosecutor to allow you to enter a diversion program, thereby avoiding a criminal conviction and the associated record.

These programs can provide you with a second chance, allowing you to avoid the full consequences of a criminal conviction. For example, some diversion programs include:

Penal Code 1000 PC, a drug diversion program that can lead to a full dismissal of charges.
Proposition 36, a program that allows non-violent drug offenders to receive treatment instead of incarceration.
Attending AA or NA meetings, which can be a condition for the full dismissal of charges.

In theft-related charges, we may be able to negotiate with the district attorney to allow you to participate in an alternative diversion program or pay restitution to avoid criminal prosecution. Call our office to discuss your criminal charges with a skilled lawyer at our firm. Eisner Gorin LLP is based in Los Angeles.
