Aggressive, Effective Defense Attorney
The Law Office of Antonio A. Cota Serves Clients in Santa Ana and Orange County
Choosing an attorney to defend you against misdemeanor or felony criminal charges can be difficult. You want someone who knows the law, knows the prosecutors and judges and knows how to protect you and your freedom. As a sole practitioner dedicated to criminal defense, I focus on giving my clients the personal attention and information they want and the aggressive, effective legal protection they need.
If you have been charged with a misdemeanor or felony, call (714) 881-2575 for a free initial consultation or contact me online. As your defense lawyer, I will give you a clear assessment of your situation, answer your questions and work with you to try to obtain a positive outcome in your case.
A First Arrest
A first arrest can be an intimidating experience. It is hard to know exactly what the consequences are of the charges you face. It is hard to figure out what you should do next or who you should trust.
One of the most important decisions to make after an arrest is choosing an attorney. I make the process easy for you by offering a free consultation. It is a no-cost opportunity to ask questions about your case and to find out how I can help you.
I serve as criminal defense attorney to Orange County clients accused of a wide variety of crimes, including:
- DUI (drunk driving)
- Drug crimes
- Assault and battery
- Armed robbery
- Fraud
- Embezzlement
- Computer crimes
- Gang-related offenses
- Speeding tickets
Putting My Experience to Work for You
I have over a half-dozen years of experience in criminal defense, having begun my practice working for a former Riverside County prosecutor. I know how the other side thinks. I can negotiate with prosecutors, working to get a favorable outcome. I am also an experienced trial lawyer, unafraid to take on prosecutors in court.
Personal Service
My clients get my personal phone number. In an emergency, I am available to my clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You will get me when you call, not an answering service. I want to answer your questions when you need them answered. I want to make sure we are always on the same page so that together we form an effective defense team.
