A Holistic Approach To Solving Legal Problems

Arrested Or Charged? You Need An Experienced Defense Attorney Now.

Placing your trust in a criminal defense attorney is a big decision. I am attorney Peter T. Haven, and I defend people in California. At Haven Law, I consider it a privilege to defend the rights of the accused. Here, you will find zealous legal advocacy rooted in 30 years of experience.

Why Choose My Criminal Defense Practice?

As a solo practitioner and veteran trial lawyer based in Manhattan Beach, I offer many advantages that you won’t find at a larger firm. These include:

  • Personal representation: Your case won’t be handed off to a paralegal or associate. I will personally serve as your advocate each step of the way, from pretrial issues through trial and appeals.
  • Direct access to a lawyer: You won’t have trouble getting in contact with me. You can contact me anytime, 24 hours a day, by phone or email, and expect a prompt response.
  • Reasonable rates: Because I don’t have the high overhead costs of a large firm, I can work more efficiently and cost-effectively. I pass these savings on to you.
  • Determination: Here, you won’t have to wonder whether your case is gathering dust on the shelf. You can have the confidence of knowing that I’m working tirelessly to protect your rights and freedom.

My Hallmark Approach To Criminal Defense Representation

Lawyer + Warrior = Lawyrrior

This term encapsulates my approach to the law. Put simply, as your lawyer, I’ll fight like a warrior for your rights and liberties each step of the way.

At my practice, you’ll find a trusted legal ally no matter what type of charge you’re facing. I handle everything from misdemeanors to felonies, including:

  • Drug offenses: I take cases involving cultivation, manufacture, sale or possession of street drugs and illegally used prescription drugs.
  • Homicide charges: You can come to me with these very serious charges, including murder, manslaughter and vehicular manslaughter.
  • Assault and battery crimes: These violent crimes can make it difficult to get housing, employment and other opportunities.
  • Sex offenses: You need a tough defense against charges such as sexual battery, lewd conduct and solicitation.
  • Theft offenses: You may not realize how serious the consequences are for shoplifting, grand theft and embezzlement. Contact me today.
  • DUI and serious traffic-related offenses: Protect your driver’s license and your criminal record when you fight DUI and traffic violations.
  • Appeals: You need a lawyer with experience in appeals. I can help you appeal any type of criminal conviction.

Call me if you do not see your specific criminal charge mentioned above. I may still be able to represent you.
