Oakdale calls itself the Cowboy Capital of the World, and it sits where Highways 108 and 120 meet on the road toward Yosemite. It's a smaller town with a big footprint of visitors, ranch country, and weekend traffic heading to the mountains. When an Oakdale arrest turns into charges, the case doesn't stay in Oakdale. It goes to the Stanislaus County Superior Court in Modesto, about a half-hour southwest. Felonies and misdemeanors are heard at the Main Courthouse on 11th Street; DUI and traffic matters run through the Traffic Court on Floyd Avenue.
Karan Saini is a Modesto native who prosecuted felony cases for the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office before he became a defense attorney. He did jury trials as a law student and won. That background means he reads a charging decision from the inside, which is exactly what you want when the DA is the one deciding how hard to come after you.
The firm handles the full criminal slate: DUI cases, domestic violence, drug charges, theft, assault, on up to serious violent felonies. It also handles injury claims, and Oakdale sees its share of crashes on rural highways and tourist routes, along with dog bites, bad falls, and the wrongful-death cases where an insurer is trying to pay as little as possible.
Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm offers services in Spanish. Consultations are free. If you were arrested or hurt in Oakdale, call 209-809-1634 before you talk to police or settle with anyone.
