RLS

The attorneys at Rains Lucia Stern, PC have extensive experience representing clients in criminal matters. Our attorneys, including several former prosecutors, have successfully handled numerous complex criminal matters at trial and tried cases to juries in both state and federal court. With a number of former law enforcement officers and prosecutors on our staff, we can effectively supervise and conduct investigations on behalf of our clients and in many cases we have been able to convince prosecutors to drop charges based on the results of our investigative efforts.

Based on our vast experience representing clients in the public sector, we have special expertise in both criminal and civil grand jury matters, representing numerous clients as witnesses, subjects, and targets before state and federal grand juries around California.

As one of the leading law firms for peace officers in California, RLS has represented peace officers in local, state, and federal criminal investigations and prosecutions, focusing primarily on matters arising out of the performance of their duties. Our team has defended clients in some of the most complex and controversial criminal trials in California history, including the successful defenses of the "Corcoran 8" and the "Oakland Riders."
