Here's the thing most people get wrong about San Joaquin County: it doesn't run all its criminal cases through one building. Where your case is heard depends on where it happened. Get arrested in Stockton and you're in the county seat downtown.
Karan Saini comes at this from the prosecution side first. He spent his early career at the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office, where he prosecuted felony charges and tried them in front of juries, before he opened a defense practice. What he brings across the county line is the read on how any prosecutor's office works — how a filing deputy decides what to charge, where a case is soft, what they'll deal on and what they'll dig in on. That instinct doesn't stop at a county border. Modesto is his home base, and San Joaquin's courts are a short drive north.
The firm works the full criminal slate that puts people in front of these judges: DUI, domestic violence, drug charges, theft, and the violent felonies that put years on the table. Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm handles cases in Spanish, so you explain what happened in your own words.
