Criminal Defense Attorney in Northern California

If You Have Been Accused of Fraud, Call 925-939-6400 Today

If you are being investigated for fraud, embezzlement or another property crime, it is important to seek legal counsel immediately. The best time to begin preparing your defense is before the police or other law enforcement agency charge you with a crime.

I am David J. Larkin, Attorney at Law, and I have been protecting the rights and interests of people who have been accused of crimes in northern California for the past 29 years. Throughout my career, I have handled exclusively criminal defense matters - providing me with the experience necessary to effectively represent you. Contact me today to schedule your free, confidential consultation.

When you come to my offices, we will begin by creating an immediate action plan. Frequently in fraud cases, you will know of an investigation before you are officially charged with a crime. Before you are charged with a crime, we can start laying the groundwork for your defense and working to protect your interests. If you have been charged, we will immediately begin pursuing all options to minimize your exposure to potential punishments.

Skilled Lawyer Working to Avoid Seizure and Permanent Asset Forfeiture

One of the potential consequences of a conviction for fraud or embezzlement is asset forfeiture - police officers may be able to confiscate your property, based upon the theory that you were able to obtain this property as the result of illegal activities. Even before your criminal case is resolved, police officers can seize your assets.

After the seizure of your possessions, you are generally allowed a hearing to release assets, but it is important that you have proper representation in this hearing. To protect your assets, you may need to provide documentation establishing your legitimate claim to your property. I have extensive experience handling these hearings.
