Theft
Santa Ana is home to the MainPlace Shopping Center and major corporations. If you've been arrested for shoplifting, burglary, robbery, a white-collar crime, or any other theft crime you must contact a theft attorney so we can offer the defense required in your situation.

Understanding the Crime Scene in Santa Ana

According to the latest U.S. Census, Santa Ana is the third most densely populated city in the United States behind New York and San Francisco, respectfully. In recent years a nightlife and bar scene has grown throughout the city, which has resulted in the unintentional consequence of more people being arrested for assault, battery, DUI, drunk in public and sex crimes, among other charges.

As Santa Ana has become more popular, attracting people to its bars and clubs, there have been conflicts and even fights with local residents. As the city tries to clean up its image as a "rough town" and be more in tune to the ideal Southern California lifestyle, the police force has stepped up patrols and is aggressively citing and arresting people for various crimes.
