Folsom sits on the eastern edge of Sacramento County, up against the foothills off Highway 50, about 25 miles from downtown Sacramento. It's known for the lake, the historic district, and the prison that shares its name. None of that changes where a Folsom criminal case goes. An arrest by Folsom PD or the county sheriff is filed and heard in downtown Sacramento, in the county court that as of 2026 operates out of the new Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Courthouse at 500 G Street. The drive in from Folsom for a court date is real, and missing one is worse, so getting the building and the date straight from the start matters.
Karan Saini doesn't oversell his connection to the area. He works out of Modesto, an hour-plus south, and Sacramento County is a market he drives into. What he brings up the highway is the part that actually transfers: he spent years prosecuting felonies at the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office before he opened a defense practice. He learned how prosecutors build a file, what makes them stack charges, and where a case starts to come apart. A Sacramento deputy DA works off the same instincts. Karan reads those instincts and turns them around for the defense.
The firm handles both kinds of trouble. Criminal: DUI on Highway 50 or the surface roads off it, domestic violence, theft, drug charges, and serious felonies with prison time attached. Injury: crashes on the 50 corridor and East Bidwell Street, motorcycle and bike wrecks on the trails-and-roads mix Folsom is known for, dog bites, bad falls, and wrongful-death claims insurers resist. One attorney on both.
Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm offers Spanish-language services, so the conversation happens in your own words. Consultations are free. If you've been charged or hurt in Folsom, call 209-809-1634 before you talk to police or sign whatever an adjuster puts in front of you.
