San Jose Gang Crimes Defense Attorney
At the law office of Vertner & Dell in San Jose, we have nearly 60 years of combined experience handling a wide range of criminal defense matters for clients across California. We strive to aggressively defend your rights and ensure that you receive fair treatment from both law enforcement and the prosecution in your case, whether it is a DUI or a gang crime. We do not back down when handling the defense of alleged gang members and strive to see that they get the justice they deserve, regardless of their proposed gang affiliation.
Many individuals that may be accused of a gang-related crime may not actually even be part of a gang. However, police may label you as such if you have been in photos with known gang members, wearing clothing of a certain color or have received mail from or been in other contact with a gang member. When seeking to defend yourself against alleged gang crimes, you do not have to accept the gang member label that may be placed on you. You have the right to present evidence that you are not affiliated with the gang just because some of your acquaintances might be. This can be important to avoid the enhanced penalties many gang members receive.

The broader heading of gang crimes encompasses a wide variety of criminal charges. Our attorneys pride themselves on their ability to handle many different types of gang crime issues for clients, including:
- Drug crimes (dealing, trafficking, possession, manufacturing)
- Weapons charges (gun possession, assault with a deadly weapon)
- Violent crimes (murder, manslaughter, assault)
- Property crimes (robbery, burglary, theft, vandalism and graffiti/tagging)
It is important to know that in California, many gang crimes are felonies. This means that if an individual is convicted of a gang crime, it can fall under the three strikes law. Our firm handles many cases involving the three strikes law and can help you seek a resolution to your case that does not place your future in jeopardy.
Do not be unprepared when facing gang crime charges. A criminal defense attorney at our firm can assess your situation and determine the best way in which to handle the matters. Call or contact us today to schedule your free initial consultation.
