Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  At this critical time in your life, you need an excellent criminal defense lawyer who will fight for your rights. A criminal conviction can forever alter the course of your life. Your livelihood, freedom, career, family, future and more can all be on the line. It is essential to hire an attorney who understands what's at stake and is ready to assert your rights before our criminal justice system.
• DUI/DWI
  Drunk driving offenses are some of the most common charges processed through our criminal justice system. They occur throughout all walks of life and—unlike other criminal charges —are often committed by citizens who are unaware they were breaking the law. No matter what the circumstances of your DUI arrest may entail, it is advised that you explore your defense options with a qualified DUI defense attorney.
• Traffic Violations
  At the Law Offices of Benjamin Arsenian, Attorney Arsenian is a former Deputy District Attorney who knows how the state of California pursues convictions of the accused. He has argued cases of all sizes—from traffic tickets to murder trials—and knows what it takes to challenge the state's allegations against his clients.
• Sex Crimes
• Robbery
  In other cases, different circumstances of the alleged crime may be significant. For example, it is assumed that carjacking and robbery both involve a threat of violence to the alleged victim. Because of this, both crimes are considered felonies. To learn more about the specifics of your charge and what penalties you may be exposed to, contact our offices today.
• Burglary
  Burglary is considered a serious offense in California and those charged with this crime can find themselves exposed to serious penalties. If you or a loved one have been accused of burglary, it is essential that you seek an aggressive defense attorney who knows how to navigate these cases. In many cases, proactive, vigilant counsel can result in a favorable outcome for the defendant.
• Theft
• Misdemeanors
  Whether it’s a felony or a misdemeanor, not only does a criminal conviction result in jail/prison time, fines, and a host of other penalties, but also a permanent criminal record. A criminal conviction can make it difficult for you to obtain employment, apply to colleges and universities, find housing, and even remain in the country if you are an immigrant. Fortunately, it is possible to fight your conviction by filing for post-conviction relief.
• Embezzlement
  The severity of a theft charge depends on many factors. For instance, petty theft and grand theft are both defined by the value of the stolen property (and grand theft—which involves more expensive property—is considered more serious).
• Drug Crimes
  If you have been accused of committing a drug offense, it is critical that you seek vigilant, proactive legal representation as soon as possible. In the last few years, California has revised the way it handles many minor drug offenses—but many of these drug charges can still result in significant ramifications for the accused.
• Assault
• Murder
  Few criminal accusations, if any, are treated as seriously as allegations of murder. If you or a loved one have been charged with murder, it is imperative that you seek defense representation that has the knowledge, experience, and resources to protect the accused against these charges. Murder convictions can result in life-altering penalties and proactive, assertive counsel is needed throughout every stage of these cases.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  In California, both residential and commercial property owners are responsible for providing reasonably safe conditions for welcome visitors to their property. When this responsibility isn't met and a visitor is hurt, the victim may have grounds to seek compensation from the owner. This can be done with what is known as premises liability suit, commonly referred to as a "slip and fall" claim.
• Property Damage
  California criminal statutes describe the act of vandalism as any time an individual damages, destroys, or defaces property that does not belong to them. Vandalism is considered a "wobbler" in California, which means that it can be charged as a felony or a misdemeanor depending on the extent of the property damage. Anything less than $400 is considered a misdemeanor.
