Legal Defense Strategies: How We can Help
Gang Injunctions are placed on suspected gang members to prevent them from going out at night, being in certain places or saying and wearing specific things.
Even individuals who are actually in gangs, deserve the due process rights that are provided by the constitution.
Nobody should be placed on a gang “list” without an opportunity to defend themselves.
The city of Los Angeles has a history of serving thousands of people with unlawful gang injunctions.
We can fight these injunctions to disassociate you from the gang you may not be part of and prevent you from receiving a gang enhancement.
