Fearless Criminal Defense Advocacy in Pasadena
An arrest or criminal investigation threatens your reputation, your professional career, and your personal liberty. While the justice system promises impartial fairness, the reality is that prosecutors possess vast investigative resources and the scales often tilt against defendants. At Shawky Law, founder and lead defense attorney Tarek Shawky provides the tenacious, high-caliber legal advocacy required to balance those scales. As a former deputy public defender with nearly two decades of intensive criminal trial experience, attorney Shawky has successfully handled thousands of cases in Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties. When you need a lawyer in Pasadena who offers direct attorney access and never backs down from a courtroom battle, Shawky Law delivers decisive representation.
Tenacious DUI and Traffic Offense Defense
Driving under the influence allegations trigger dual legal battles: criminal court proceedings and California Department of Motor Vehicles administrative license suspensions. Shawky Law moves immediately to safeguard driving privileges and dissect the state's evidence:
- DUI and DWI defense: Challenging the constitutional legality of traffic stops, police body camera footage, standardized field sobriety testing protocols, and breathalyzer maintenance records.
- DMV administrative hearings: Demanding formal DMV stay hearings within 10 days of arrest to fight automatic driver license suspensions.
- Felony and multiple DUIs: Defending against aggravated charges involving collisions, significant bodily injury, or prior DUI convictions to avoid state prison sentencing.
- Traffic tickets and reckless driving: Defending commercial drivers and everyday motorists against high-point moving violations and license revocations.
Strategic Defense for Misdemeanors, Felonies, and Federal Offenses
A conviction carries lasting collateral consequences that impact housing, firearm ownership, and employment opportunities. If you plan to hire an attorney to protect your future, Shawky Law prepares every case for trial, applying pressure to achieve case dismissals, charge reductions, or acquittals:
- Drug crime defense: Litigating constitutional search and seizure violations in charges involving narcotics possession, transportation, manufacturing, and distribution.
- Domestic violence and restraining orders: Investigating allegations of domestic battery and child endangerment, disproving false accusations, and contesting protective orders.
- Violent crimes: Formulating aggressive self-defense and evidentiary challenges against assault, battery, robbery, weapons allegations, and attempted homicide charges.
- Theft and burglary defense: Representing clients charged with petty theft, grand larceny, shoplifting, commercial burglary, and financial fraud.
- Police misconduct: Holding law enforcement accountable when unconstitutional stops, excessive force, or fabricated police reports violate civil liberties.
