Turlock sits about 14 miles south of Modesto on Highway 99, and it's where Karan Saini earned his Criminal Justice degree at CSU Stanislaus. He knows the city, the campus, and the stretch of 99 that connects the two. He also knows where a Turlock criminal case actually goes: not the small Turlock courthouse on Starr Avenue, which handles only small claims and evictions, but the Stanislaus County Superior Court in Modesto. DUI and traffic matters are heard at the Traffic Court on Floyd Avenue; felonies and misdemeanors go to the Main Courthouse downtown.
A lot of people from Turlock assume their case stays in town. It doesn't. That alone is worth knowing before your first appearance, and it's the kind of detail Karan walks clients through on the first call.
Before he defended anyone, Karan prosecuted serious felonies for the Stanislaus County District Attorney's Office, winning jury trials as a law student. He uses that insider read on how the DA builds and files a case to take it apart for the defense. The firm covers DUI cases, domestic violence, drug crimes, and theft, on up to the violent felonies that carry real prison exposure. On the injury side: car crashes on the 99 corridor, dog bites and bad falls, plus wrongful-death claims.
Karan speaks English, Hindi, and Punjabi, and the firm offers Spanish-language services, so nothing gets lost in translation. Consultations are free. If you're facing charges or were hurt in Turlock, call 209-809-1634 before you say anything to an officer or an insurance adjuster.
