Read Karan's storyWhy hire a former prosecutor?
Karan spent years inside the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office. He knows how a charge gets filed, what evidence the DA needs for their case, and where a case is weaker than it looks on paper. It is the work he did every day for years, and now he uses it to destroy the DA's case.
No mystery, no guesses.
You reach Karan or his office directly, not a screening service. We believe in perfect customer service. The consultation is free and there is no charge to talk your case through.
- 01/
1. You reach out and explain what happened
Send a message through the form or call — either way you reach the firm directly. Lay out the arrest, the accident, the charge, or whatever brought you here.
- 02/
2. Karan listens and tells you straight
We talk about what happened and you get an honest read on what you are facing and the deadlines that are already running.
- 03/
3. You leave with a plan
By the end of the consultation, you know the next step, what the firm will do, and what you should do right now. No pressure, just a clear path.
Here's what you should do right now.
Stop talking about the case
Use your right to remain silent. Be polite, give your name, and do not explain or argue. If you give more information than you need, it may be used against you in court.
Do not consent to a search or sign anything
You can decline a search and decline to sign statements until you have spoken with a lawyer. Saying no is your right, not an admission.
Write down everything while it is fresh
Names, badge numbers, times, witnesses, and what was said. If you were in a crash, photograph it and get medical attention. Details fade fast, so act with urgency and get all the information you can.
Mind the deadlines
Deadlines approach quickly. If you know you need to get something done, see an attorney fast. The earlier you act, the better.

Make sure to protect your claim.
See a doctor right away
Get checked out now, even if you feel fine — adrenaline hides injuries and many times you won't know you're hurt. Follow the treatment plan. Gaps and delays give the insurer a reason to say you were not really hurt.
Do not give the insurance company a statement
You do not have to talk to the other side's insurer or give a recorded statement. Anything you say can be twisted to shrink your claim. Let your attorney do the talking.
Stay off social media
Insurance companies comb through your posts and use them against you. One photo or comment can be spun to deny or minimize what you are owed. Say nothing about the accident online.
Save the evidence and watch the clock
Photograph the scene and your injuries, keep every bill and record, and get names and witnesses before they scatter. California limits how long you have to file — the sooner you act, the more you protect.
