A lot of people arrested in Tracy assume they're headed to Stockton. Often they're not. Tracy keeps its own branch courthouse at 475 E. 10th Street, and it hears criminal and traffic matters right there in town, serving Tracy and Mountain House. That's a small three-courtroom building, so calendars move differently than they do in the big Stockton courthouse up north. Knowing which courthouse your case sits in changes how you prepare for the first appearance, and it's the kind of thing worth pinning down on day one.
Karan Saini works these cases with a prosecutor's eye. He started out at the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office, where he filed felony charges and tried them before juries, before he ever stood up for the defense. He hasn't prosecuted in San Joaquin County, and he doesn't claim to have. What carries over is the read on a charging decision: he knows how a DA's office sizes up evidence, where the weak points hide, and what a deputy will actually move on. Tracy sits at the southwest corner of the county, ringed by I-205 and I-580, the commuter run over the Altamont into the Bay Area.
That commute drives a chunk of the firm's work. Tracy moves a heavy volume of freeway traffic, and with it come DUI stops on the way home and serious wrecks on I-205 and the Altamont grade. On the criminal side: DUI, domestic violence, drug charges, theft, and violent felonies. On the injury side: car and truck collisions, dog bites, falls, and wrongful-death claims. Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm handles cases in Spanish.
