From the back of a patrol car, you're booked into county custody, and within a few blocks your case is in the Stanislaus County Superior Court downtown. That courthouse hears cases from the whole county, but if you were arrested in Modesto, it's basically in your backyard.
That closeness cuts both ways. The detective who works your file, the DA who picks it up, the judge you draw at arraignment: in Modesto those are the people Karan Saini has stood across from for years. He runs this firm out of this city. He knows how the local DA's office triages a heavy week. That's a home-court read you don't get from a lawyer driving in.
The firm handles the full criminal slate: DUI, domestic violence, theft charges, drug cases, and the most serious violent felonies. Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm offers services in Spanish, so you tell it in your own words, not a translated approximation of them.
Consultations are free. If you've been charged with a crime in Modesto, call 209-809-1634 before you talk to police or sign anything.
