About Jimmy Cha

I grew up with a passion for criminal justice. I understand that often times, good people make poor decisions that can have adverse and negative life consequences. As a result, I have dedicated my whole attorney career in helping people through the practice of law. While many attorney's practice is different area's of law, I have only practiced criminal defense throughout my whole legal career. I have been published in local and national news services, and have won numerous awards in the field of criminal defense. When your future is on the line, you want someone who only deals with criminal law.

With so much on the line, my goal is plain and simple, I want to help people so they can move on with their lives, and not face the ramifications of a potential criminal conviction. Over the years, I have represented lawyers, law enforcement officers, doctors, and other working professionals who have to deal with licensure, as well as college students and young adults.

If you or your loved one is facing criminal allegations, feel free to give me a call.

I had a great experience working with Jimmy on my case. From the beginning, he was straightforward, responsive, and made sure I understood what was happening at every step. He guided me through the process, told me exactly what I needed to do, and stayed on top of the case the entire time. I really appreciated that he didn’t overpromise anything and kept things realistic while still working hard toward the best outcome. In the end, I was able to get my case resolved favorably, and I’m grateful for his help getting me through a stressful situation. I would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with a criminal case and needing solid representation.

Hiring Mr.Cha was the best decision I could’ve ever made. From the beginning when I first met him he was very upfront and specific on what had to be done in order to get me the best possible outcome for me and my case. Before every court date he advised what was going to be done and what I had to get done! He was always keeping me informed on any information he got and all of the evidence that was submitted even going the extra mile and reminding me of upcoming court dates in advance. He is always very professional and stands out in every courtroom he walks into. Mr.Cha got me the best outcome I could’ve ever asked for and for that I will always be grateful thank you very much Mr.Cha!

First and foremost: Jimmy is the man! If you are wanting a straightforward and no BS type of lawyer he is the man to hire. If you want to be given false promises and hopes then keep searching. I found Jimmy by doing some looking as every other lawyer I talked to kept giving me the “we’ll fight this and win” attitude. He kept it very professional and straight with me which right away made my decision. He let me know the real and possible outcomes from the get go. I was facing 200 days in jails and 3 charges that would have destroyed my life in my industry I worked in. Using his finesse and magic skills I was able to be granted into military diversion in a case that I would consider dead to rights. This man literally did the impossible and saved my life. God forbid I ever need a criminal defense lawyer again but best believe Jimmy is the one I will. For my Veterans, he is a supporter and understands our struggles. I cannot express the gratitude I have for him. Thank you Jimmy!

Jimmy came to the rescue. After a horrible experience and firing the first attorney I hired, I called Jimmy. I was facing considerable jail time, and explained the whole situation to him. He immediately took my case without question or doubt. His confidence and supreme experience came into clutch throughout the entire court process. Unlike my previous attorney, Jimmy was always responsive and always on time to all of my court hearings, which goes a long way to me. He really batted for me and worked really hard on my case. After over 2 years of fighting my case, Jimmy was able to save me from any jail time and I was able to keep my drivers license. After this nightmare of a situation, not only would I recommend Jimmy 100% to everyone I know who needs an attorney, I consider Jimmy a friend.

I made a mistake and ended up in a criminal matter. It was very shocking because I have a clean record. I also had little idea of what to do and how to navigate the process correctly. I wanted a local attorney who was familiar with the court-assigned and the judges that might be involved. I called attorney Jimmy Cha and he responded immediately. I was able to talk with him the same day. Jimmy made it clear he understood all the actions needed and that he would guide me through things step by step. He also was clear on setting expectations regarding the time needed for things to get through the system and outcomes. Jimmy was very responsive to any questions I had during the proceedings. He provided me updates timely and clearly. Jimmy replied to any questions I had the same day and often with a phone call. He was very practical in all things regarding my case. He offered me exceptionally good advice on some proactive actions I could take that would help my case. I had a great outcome

It was my first time getting a DUI and I had no idea what to do. My brother in law generated a list of attorneys and we started calling for any help/advice/consultation Some of the attorneys I spoke to had a bland demeanor that tossed any sense of optimism, which is something anyone would need in that situation. Jimmy Cha was the was last person on the list to call and there was a vast difference to his tone of voice than the others. He 'listened' to my story and he responded with such comfort. He didn't say he would make it go away, but he said he would help me get through it from beginning to end. He even encouraged me to call other attorneys to compare and then decide. Of course, I decided to go with hiring him as my attorney and he kept his word. He got me through it from beginning to end. If you're looking for an attorney, especially a criminal defense attorney, it is absolutely worth having a conversation with Jimmy Cha.

As soon as I met with Mr Cha I knew I wanted him to represent me. He made me feel confident that he would assist me properly and put his all into my case. After a year of filing motions and battling the DA he got my case dismissed. I was grateful for his determined filing of motions and confident court voice. DA and Judge knew they couldnt mess with us!! Thanks Mr Cha!!
