The Law Offices Of Matthew Cargal

Have you just been accused of a crime? Is your professional or family life at risk because of a charge against you? When your license to drive or practice your profession is on the line, you need an attorney like me.

For the last thirty years, I have made it my vocation to represent honest, hard-working professional men and women across Southern California, people just like you, where my help can truly make a difference.

My Defense Extends Beyond The Criminal Justice System

As your criminal defense lawyer, my job is more than just keeping you out of prison or minimizing the penalties you face. It is also to keep your life intact, preserve your professional practice or driver’s license, and ensure the consequences of the charges against you are minimized across the board.

The sad truth about our criminal justice system is that the consequences of a conviction can extend far, far beyond the immediate legal penalties. I have seen this happen, but more importantly, I have made a career of stopping it from happening to people just like you.

Preserving Your Freedom, Family, And Career

With so much on the line when you are accused of a crime, from your career to your family life, it is vital to work with an attorney who will take a global and cohesive approach to your defense. I am a compassionate listener, an experienced professional, and an aggressive defender and negotiator in or out of court.

This approach has brought me success, not only in getting the criminal charges against my clients dismissed or diminished but also in avoiding any collateral damage to their family or professional life.
