Who is the Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Carlsbad?
JB Law has successfully protected good people in bad situations for almost twenty-nine years.
Any arrest or investigation in Carlsbad is prosecuted in the Vista Superior Court, across the street from my office. I've had an office across the street from Vista Court for over twenty years, and have enjoyed a very close relationship with judges, prosecutors and court staff over the years. This type of experience cannot be enjoyed by an out-of-town attorney with a fancy website. Relationships forged over time cannot be replicated by a non-local attorney, no matter how fancy they say they are. Don't go through this difficult time alone. Hire a Carlsbad criminal defense attorney that will fight vigorously for your rights and advocate for your case.
At JB Law we put our 28+ years of experience to work for you, leveraging battle-tested legal strategies and tactics that have won us a reputation as a firm to be reckoned with.

A Preemptive and Defensive Move
Perhaps you remember your little league coach's words of wisdom: “A good defense is the best offense”. The same can be said with regards to criminal investigations and charges. The sooner you have a talented and persistent defense lawyer in your corner the better off you can position yourself for what lays ahead.
A Carlsbad criminal defense lawyer will represent your best interests at every stage of your ordeal, advocating for your rights and implementing legal strategies designed to prevent arrests from turning into charges and charges turning into court proceedings.
Law Enforcement Is there to Do Their Job – Let us do ours
Remember, law enforcement is NOT your friend. It is their job to get you to lower your guard and make statements that can, and often are, taken out of context against you. Cops can and do lie to suspects; it is part of their training. Only an experienced, aggressive Carlsbad criminal defense attorney can stop the questions and start protecting your rights.
