Criminal Law

Being arrested for a crime is an undesirable and tense time.  When deciding on a criminal defense attorney early on to help you with your criminal defense, it is critical that you choose an attorney who has a criminal defense background and who is also aggressive enough to provide you a serious defense.

There are many Los Angeles criminal lawyers that claim to be a criminal trial attorney, but in reality they have very limited courtroom experience. The Los Angeles County prosecutors who will be prosecuting your case are aware of this and it affects how they make pre-trial offers. 

Attorney J. Nigel Villanueva possesses years of experience representing clients in the Los Angeles area, and uses aggressive legal strategies to ensure that his clients’ best interests are protected. As a former public defender, J. Nigel Villanueva is equipped with the legal knowledge to successfully navigate you through the legal system.  Mr. Villanueva has extensive experience in the following matters:

Drug charges, violent crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, DUI, misdemeanors, arrests, bench warrants, expungements, dismissals and convictions, DMV hearings, temporary and permanent restraining orders, felony expungements, and school hearings.

Mr. Villanueva is able to meet with prospective clients Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. as well as weekends and evenings by appointment. If you are incarcerated, he can agree to visit you in any prison or jail, both state and federal, throughout California.

There is NO Fee for your initial consultation. Eberhardt•Villanueva, LLP offers payment plans and accepts all major credit cards.
