Criminal Lawyer
Defense Attorney
As you confront this most unpleasant set of circumstances, allow me to
introduce our firm and to offer you the assistance and support of an attorney
who has handled criminal cases similar to yours. Federal agents, local police officers, prosecutors, and
an United States Congressman have referred their family or friends to our
office.
If you were unjustly arrested, then you may find
that you are stymied by a system that would preferably convict the wrongfully
accused than admit a mistake. You may be entirely innocent. Or maybe you are not
entirely innocent, but are being overcharged with violations you did not commit.
Michael Cernyar can defend you and your Rights during this time of injustice.
If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, then you will want the intensity and the experience Michael K. Cernyar brings to the defense.
At the Law Offices of Michael K. Cernyar, we

case manager or an office manager or a paralegal, you will meet an attorney on
your first visit. Typically that attorney will be Michael himself. He is never
too busy for his clients. His goal is to answer his client's telephone calls or
when he is unavailable, his obejctive is to return his client's telephone calls
within 24 hours.

FROM THE DESK OF MICHAEL K. CERNYAR
Long Beach, California
Dear Prospective Client:
As you confront this most unpleasant set of circumstances, allow me to
introduce our firm and to offer you the assistance and support of an attorney
who has handled criminal cases similar to yours.
Having practiced criminal defense for several years, I wish to share with you
some information that is essential to your defense. Early involvement by your criminal lawyer is highly desirable.
Whether you have been charged with a misdemeanor or a felony - in state or federal court - retaining a criminal lawyer soon after your arrest is beneficial for several reasons. Retaining an attorney immediately is highly effective with the protection of your rights. Without representation, you may be deceived into waiving your rights.
Having a criminal lawyer protecting your Constitutional Rights and conversing with the prosecutor that is assigned to your case - in advance of the first court date -- along with speaking to the officer who filed the case, are successful strategies we have employed in
defending our clients. Early involvement on certain cases presents the opportunity to potentially reduce the charges or to have the charges dismissed entirely -- prior to the first court date.
Throughout the years I have represented many clients including those charged
with the most serious felonies, as well as those charged with their first misdemeanor. My position is that the sooner a criminal defense attorney is retained, the opportunities for a favorable conclusion improve significantly.
Please feel free to call our office and meet for a Free Consultation. I will meet with you to explore how best to
defend and resolve your case. Our 24-hour number
is 800-409-7010.
Yours truly,
Michael K. Cernyar
Privately Retained Attorney v. Public Defender
It wasn’t that long ago when the economy was doing well, goverment budgets were not an issue, and many defendants would rather have a privately retained attorney in place of a public defender. In those days, the Los Angeles Public Defender’s Office represented 560,204 defendants. There were 646 public defenders, with an average yearly case load of more than 867 defendants.* Today the economy is not
as strong, government budgets are being cut, and more defendants than ever are represented by the public defender’s office.
At the Law Offices of Michael K. Cernyar, our case load is typically between 10 to 15 clients. We have time to devote to your matter. We won’t ask you to take a plea on your first appearance because our case load is overwhelming. We will review your matter carefully and take the time to ensure you are represented well. At the Law Offices of Michael K. Cernyar, we believe in providing the finest representation
possible.
We care about our clients and their outcome.
