26 criminal defence attorneys serve Sacramento. Cases are heard in the Sacramento County Superior Court, with federal charges going to the Eastern District of California, which sits in the city.
Sacramento operates collaborative and diversion courts for several categories of case, and California's mental health and pretrial diversion statutes give counsel real options at an early stage. Whether you qualify is often decided in the first weeks, so ask about it at the consultation rather than after a plea has been discussed.
For an older conviction, ask about dismissal, reduction of a felony to a misdemeanour and record sealing — the routes available have widened considerably in recent years.
