California Criminal Defense FAQ
At the Law Offices of David S. Chesley, Inc., we want to empower those who have been charged with a crime. Here our Rancho Cucamonga criminal defense attorneys provide the following answers to your most pressing questions.

Do I need a lawyer at my arraignment?
Most of the time, you aren’t required to have an attorney at your arraignment. However, you should absolutely speak to one before you are required to enter your plea. Even without an attorney present on your behalf at your arraignment, the courts will still proceed to give you a formal account of your charges.

Should I represent myself in a criminal case?
No, you should definitely not attempt to represent yourself. This is especially true if you are facing possible jail time. There are many reasons why you shouldn’t represent yourself in a criminal defense case. Most importantly, you lack the necessary experience. There are considerable qualifications required to defend oneself in court accurately. Keep in mind that even the most experienced criminal defense attorneys turn to other lawyers to represent them in criminal court matters.

Do I have to be read my Miranda Rights?
It might come as a surprise that there’s no legal requirement for the police to read you your rights. However, not doing so will make anything that they ask you and any answers you provide regarding your case void and inadmissible in court. The location of the questioning doesn’t matter either. Suppose law enforcement officers haven’t read you your rights. In that case, anything you divulge to them isn’t allowed into court as evidence.

Do cops always need a warrant to make an arrest?
The police must have a substantial belief to ascertain probable cause to execute an arrest without an arrest warrant. However, extenuating circumstances may give law enforcement officers the right to arrest someone without a warrant. For instance, if police see someone committing a crime.

How do I declare my right to remain silent if the police question me?
All you must do is tell the authorities that you are exercising your fifth amendment right to remain silent. You are allowed to remain completely silent. Law enforcement officers have no standing to force you to tell them anything or answer any of their questions. Suppose you are harassed by the officers after telling them that you are not speaking without legal counsel. In that case, you may be able to have the case dismissed because the police violated your civil rights.

If I am charged with a crime, can I be made to give physical examples as evidence?
Unfortunately, you can be forced to give samples. Though many Californians feel that the involuntary usage of bodily and physical samples by the authorities is a violation of our civil rights, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the Fifth amendment is regarding communication and doesn’t include obtaining physical samples.

Our client faced multiple serious charges in Los Angeles County, including Penal Code § 211 (Robbery), § 245(a)(1) (Assault with a Deadly Weapon), and § 245(a)(4) (Assault with Force Likely to Cause Great Bodily Injury). Unlike a co-defendant represented by another firm who pled to a felony conviction with a "strike," our legal team pursued a different strategy. Through the submission of a comprehensive mitigation package to the District Attorney, we successfully negotiated a complete dismissal of all charges.
Our client faced serious charges under Penal Code section 211 for alleged felony robbery involving force and fear in Riverside County (Murrieta Court) . The prosecution argued that probation was not appropriate due to our client’s prior felony convictions in San Bernardino County, including a previous robbery in April 2021 and grand theft in November 2019. Despite the severity of these allegations, our legal team successfully demonstrated insufficient evidence during the preliminary hearing. As a result, all charges were dismissed. This outcome allowed our client to move forward without the burden of a new conviction.

What our clients say Client Testimonials

I am truly pleased with my experience with the Law Offices Of David S Chesley. They answered all my questions and provided me with great advice and legal services. My case resolved quickly. Thank you!
Rodrigo L.

I left court yesterday with my last case being wrapped up. Two court appearances and that’s it. He represented me in a couple of different cases and was impressive to say the least. Always a phone call or text message away. Confident and aggressive when he needed to be. Calming and thorough when meeting with me. Attorney Chesley did exactly what he said he would and I got the results I needed. He seemed to know all the right people at the Temple Street courthouse. You can always get in contact with him quickly and he is a great lawyer. I highly recommend his legal services.
Ricardo Esteves

My brother was given a very caring attorney that was assigned to his case and we had very helpful case managers throughout the process. I strongly recommend David Chesley to anyone who is in trouble. I called in to get help on my brothers case and right away I liked their service. My brothers charges were eventually dismissed after the attorney got him into a program, now he could go on without the trouble of having anything on his record
Erica Geller

I retained Mr. Chesley and his firm and from the beginning they were extremely professional both in communicating the status of my case to me, explaining the situation as a whole, and just downright taking care of business. It was money well spent for a job well done. Thanks again to David and Melissa others that worked on my case. I recommend this firm to anyone in need of legal representation. Don’t just accept things the courts force on you, call this firm and protect yourself.
Elizabeth F.

I contacted Mr. Chesley and his firm because some unfortunate events had left me in a jam. Detectives were demanding I testify or be prosecuted for a crime I didn’t commit. (I wasn’t involved or even at the scene of the alleged crime when it supposedly took place.) Mr. Chesley explained to me that he had been through similar situations with his clients before and understood exactly what was going on. His response to what took place was nothing short of amazing. No matter how small my concern, Mr. Chesley addressed it in a timely manner. He advocated for what is right and empathized with me in dealing with the Court system. After meeting with the supervising D.A. and providing alibi evidence he was able to get me out the situation. I’m very grateful to have found him.
Leon Hanley

I hired David Chesley for my criminal defense in 2012. he was recommended to us for is success results and his low fees. David is very smart and his professional legal advice was honest & much appreciated during these stressful time. David’s knowledge, advice, and communication about what we were to expect was reassuring and beneficial to me. He charged me a reasonable flat rate and didn’t charge me any surprise fees. In my case David Chesley was able to negotiate with the prosecution attorney for the best result I could hope for. He had success at getting my criminal charges dismissed with the judges approval. You will not be disappointed if you hire The Law Offices of David S. Chesley.
Britanny Givens

David is very professional, yet very casual. Although it is typically not easy to speak straight up with an attorney, he is very easy to talk to. He replied to my questions quickly and was available all hours. Not only did he get my case resolved with a dismissal, he went above and beyond and got me an expungement without me even requesting it. He never beats around the bush and tells you like it is. At the same time is willing to work overtime to get the results you request. I would use David’s services again in the future.
Andrew A.

I don’t write many reviews, however this time I had to share my admiration and appreciation for this firm. Attorney Negin Akhavan is definitely a person you want representing you in any criminal legal battle. She is the clear definition of the frace “is not what you know, but who you know ” she is not only knowledgeable, she also has the relationships with the right people. I couldn’t be happier with the results she was able to provide.

Thank you Negin.
Gabriel V.

An old felony charge came up, so I hired David and his team in June, and he got me a release on my own cognition on a felony charge in July which has never happened to me, and got it dismissed in October. He was responsive when I called and always kept me updated. Got my case dismissed, was easy to work and handled everything for me. He did an excellent job. I highly recommend David Chesley for any criminal defense.
