A Stockton arrest usually starts with Stockton PD or the county sheriff and runs you through booking before you've had a chance to think. This is a port city, the busiest inland one in the state, with I-5 down its west side and Highway 99 to the east, and a lot of what police pull people over for happens on those corridors and the surface streets feeding them. From booking, the case files into the Stockton Courthouse at 180 E. Weber Avenue downtown, with the criminal calendar on the second floor. Your first appearance can come within a couple of days, and what you do before it can shape everything that follows.
Karan Saini learned how charges get built by building them. He prosecuted felonies at the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office, filing them and taking them to juries, before he switched to the defense table. He'll tell you straight that he didn't come up through the San Joaquin DA's office. What he carries into a Stockton courtroom is the charging instinct itself: he knows how a deputy weighs the evidence in front of them, where they've reached too far, and what they'll give to close a file. His Modesto office is roughly half an hour south down 99, and he's in Stockton's courtrooms regularly.
The firm takes both kinds of trouble this city produces. Criminal: DUI stops, domestic violence, drug possession and sales, theft, and violent felonies carrying real prison time. Injury: crashes on I-5 and the 99, the truck wrecks that come off Port of Stockton freight routes, dog bites, falls, and wrongful-death claims an insurer would rather underpay. Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm handles cases in Spanish.
