What happens first
After an arrest, the first court date is the arraignment, where charges are read, a plea is entered and release conditions are set. Having a lawyer there from the start gives you the best chance to argue for release, spot problems with the case early and avoid decisions that limit your options later.
Available 24 hours: (310) 415-9499.

Common questions
Questions clients ask first.
General information about California law, not legal advice for your situation.
Can I get my case dismissed?
It depends on the evidence and your history. Dismissals can come from problems with the evidence, from diversion programs, or from negotiation with the prosecutor.
Do I have to appear at every court date?
For many misdemeanors, your lawyer can appear for you at routine hearings. In felony cases you will usually need to attend.
Client reviews
5.0 stars on Google from 46 clients.
Very grateful to Mr. Manavi for representing me against a insurance company that was trying to deny me equitable payment in the repair of my childhood home after a negligent plumber. Mr. Manavi advocated fiercely, expertly, and strategically to secure a favorable outcome.
Saman had great attention to detail when it came to my case. … Not only was he accurate in the timeline I provided for my case but he was very clear in communicating his strategy and made me feel very comfortable with my case.
He was always available when I needed him and kept me informed throughout the entire process. He explained things clearly, but was also very understanding and easy to talk to, which made a stressful situation feel a lot more manageable.
