Criminal defense and personal injury in Sacramento County

Sacramento County is about an hour north of The Saini Law Firm's Modesto base, and Karan Saini drives up to handle cases there. A former Stanislaus County prosecutor, he reads charging decisions the way the DA does and brings that to defendants in the Sacramento courthouse.

If you were arrested anywhere in Sacramento County, your criminal case is heard in downtown Sacramento, not in your home city. Elk Grove, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Galt, Rancho Cordova, the unincorporated stretches in between, it all funnels to the same place. As of 2026 the county moved court operations into the new Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento County Courthouse at 500 G Street, a 53-courtroom building in the Railyards that replaced the old Gordon D. Schaber Courthouse on 9th Street. Knowing which building your arraignment lands in, and when, is the first thing you sort out. The firm tracks that move so a court date doesn't slip past you.

Karan Saini is honest about the geography. Modesto is home base, about an hour south on Highway 99, and Sacramento is a bigger, more crowded market with more lawyers fighting over the same calendars. He's not pretending otherwise. What he brings is the part that travels: he prosecuted felonies for the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office before he switched sides, so he knows how a prosecutor decides what to file, what to stack, and what to drop when the evidence wobbles. That read on a DA's thinking doesn't stop at a county line. He appears in Sacramento County courts and works the case the same way he'd work one back home.

The firm handles two kinds of trouble. On the criminal side: DUI, domestic violence, theft, drug charges, and the violent felonies that carry real prison time. On the injury side: car and motorcycle wrecks, dog bites, slip-and-falls, and the wrongful-death claims an insurer drags its feet on. Same attorney on both, whether the other side is a deputy DA or a claims adjuster.

Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm offers services in Spanish, so you talk through your case in your own words. Consultations are free. If you've been charged with a crime or hurt by someone else's carelessness in Sacramento County, call 209-809-1634 before you talk to police or sign anything an adjuster puts in front of you.
