Welcome to Rizio & Nelson: your attorneys for all legal matters in Orange County. If you or a loved one are facing a criminal charge, contact our office for a free consultation. We are available by telephone 24 hours a day. If you (or a loved one) have been arrested in a criminal matter, you will need an attorney that can help you protect your rights and advise you of your next available options. Attorney Greg Rizio is a former Deputy District Attorney and, along with our knowledgeable staff, understands the process that you have been subjected to. He can empathize with your being arrested, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in jail, and understands what a traumatic experience this can be.
In addition to this gut-wrenching trauma, you are now facing charges that affect not only you, but also your family, your job, your freedom, and even your home. In addition to the feelings of anger, confusion, and fear, you realize that a conviction on any criminal charge will continue to haunt you for many years, including hurting your chances of getting and/or keeping a job. Attorneys/Lawyers at Rizio & Nelson realize that their job is to prevent this from becoming a reality for you and to keep your name clear of any and all criminal charges.
When you retain Orange County Attorneys/Lawyers
at Rizio & Nelson, not only are you getting attorneys who
will treat you with the utmost respect and dignity, but you are
also getting expert legal help from attorneys who know how to
guide your case through the often-confusing works of the judicial
system. We will talk to the District Attorney prosecuting your
case to obtain at least a copy of any proof that is available
to help us understand the exact charges that are being brought
against you. We will also request access to the evidence that
is available prior to the beginning of your court date to help
us construct the proper and suitable defense for your particular
needs. Bear in mind that just because something was written in
a police report, does not mean it is always accurate. The District
Attorney always has the burden of proof on all charges filed against
you, so we do not have to prove you are innocent of the charges
filed against you, instead the District Attorney has to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt that you have committed the crime (or
crimes) you are accused of perpetrating. There are many possible
rebuttals that can be made toward a criminal complaint once it
has been filed against you, and, working with you, we will formulate
the best possible defense to these charges.
