Compared to the rest of the State of California and the whole nation, Beverly Hills has a lower crime rate, with an average rate of 34 crimes for every 100,000 residents. In fact, this puts it above other prestigious areas such as Hollywood (at a rate of around 2,000 crimes for every 100,000 residents) and Fairfax (at a rate of 152 crimes for every 100,000 residents). The most common crime in the Beverly Hills area is theft, followed by burglary and robbery, drug possession and trafficking, and fraud.

Standing Up for Beverly Hills Residents

An experienced defense attorney like Larry M. Bakman understands the value of a neighborhood like Beverly Hills. That’s why he’s committed to providing for the welfare of its residents and their families.

Theft

Under theft laws like California Penal Code Sections 484 and 488, theft can be divided into two categories: petty theft and grand theft. The difference is whether the item stolen falls below or above the value of $950.

If you’ve been accused of a petty or grand theft charge, you deserve to have someone listen to your side of the story. The law office of Larry M. Bakman has access to private investigators and criminal experts who can run an exhaustive campaign to prove your defense and exploit any flaws in the case being built against you.

Burglary

Burglary—also known as “breaking and entering”—is considered a crime of intruding on someone else’s property, usually with the intent to rob the owner. This covers not just breaking into private homes, but businesses, warehouses, storage facilities and even vehicle trailers. Penal Code Section 461(a) lists the punishment for burglary in the first degree as a prison sentence of 2 to 6 years.

What a qualified attorney can do for you in this case is use his expertise with law enforcement and a keen insight into criminal prosecution cases. He’ll go over every detail of the incident and look for any hole in the prosecutor’s argument.

Drug Crimes

While most people know about illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy, there are far more drugs listed under state and federal laws like the Controlled Substances Act. For example, prescription drugs like Xanax and Vicodin can be counted if illegally obtained. And even with medical marijuana allowed by the state’s Compassionate Use Act, there’s still plenty of room for misunderstandings with law enforcement.

Mr. Bakman can help with such charges, giving you the benefit of his experience as a former criminal prosecutor. His understanding of the law allows him to see through the tactics of other prosecutors in both state and federal court.

Fraud

Fraud is a common “white collar” crime that shows up in different forms, including:

  • Credit card fraud
  • Social Security fraud
  • Insider trading
  • Health care fraud
  • Internet fraud

Depending on the severity of the case, a charge of fraud can count as either a felony or a misdemeanor. The law office of Larry M. Bakman is dedicated to working with prosecutors to get around harsh penalties and keep their clients out of prison.
