From the very beginning, I have focused my practice exclusively on DUI and Criminal Defense. This is all I do, literally-nothing else. I am in court every single day of the workweek, and I handle criminal matters exclusively. I visit clients in jail every week. I've seen and handled practically every kind of case imaginable; my experience is deep and wide in the criminal justice area.
I have regular interactions with the courts, court staff, prosecutors, bailiffs, and all the other people who keep the wheels of the criminal justice system turning. I love what I do, and I do it well. You might say that I am a bit obsessed with my work, because I find myself constantly thinking about, and evaluating, my cases.

My name is Kevin Moghtanei, and I am the principal attorney at DCD Law. I founded DCD Law to provide top-notch DUI & criminal defense to the San Fernando Valley and greater Los Angeles area. I am a native Angeleno, born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, and I am proud to serve my community at the highest level.
California has many theft crime offenses, some of which include petty theft, grand theft, burglary, shoplifting, embezzlement, and robbery among others. Some charges such as the crime of robbery can further be divided into degrees. For example, 1st degree robbery is much more serious than 2nd degree robbery.
Grand theft is a "wobbler" charge, meaning it can be charged as either a misdemeanor or as a felony. If convicted as a felony, you can be sentenced to county jail for sixteen (16) months, two (2) years, or three (3) years, and if convicted as a misdemeanor, you can be sentenced to county jail for up to one (1) year.
A robbery is always a felony, and the consequences depend upon which degree of robbery you are ultimately convicted of. A conviction of first degree robbery will result in three (3) years, four (4) years, or six (6) years of state prison.
Note: If you are convicted of first degree robbery of an inhabited dwelling and the robbery was committed in concert with two or more other people, your conviction will result in three (3) years, six (6) years, or nine (9) years of state prison.A conviction of second degree robbery will result in two (2) years, three (3) years, or five (5) years of state prison.

Committing or soliciting lewd acts in public is a misdemeanor offense under California Penal Code 647(a). Lewd acts involve touching the private parts of yourself or another person for the purpose of sexual gratification, arousal, to annoy or to offend. Even if the touching between individuals was consensual, if there are any other people present who might have been offended, the participants may be charged with committing lewd acts.

My family got into a very serious situation needing to hire a criminal defense atty. Kevin was referred to us and I am thrilled with his success in our dealings as he was with my friend. He has an excellent court presence and presentation. He clearly was very much concerned and was involved in our case as if it were his own family. He is thorough, responsive and very effective. The outcome was a success and we managed to work through the system fast and efficiently and we got though it with the best result possible - charges dropped!

Mr.Moghtanei helped me when I was in a very dire legal situation. He was prompt. Professional, easy to deal with, and most importantly he was dedicated to his job. I've worked with many different attorneys in the past and I can say with full confidence that Kevin is the best one out of all of them. He treated my case like he was defending a member of his own family. I've already recommended him to other people that I know, and I will keep recommending him when I hear that someone needs an attorney. I am truly grateful to have found his law firm.

Mr, Moghtanei helped me out in a very serious legal matter that honestly had dire consequences if the case was not handled correctly. He was responsive to all my needs and talked me through the whole process. He treated my case like he was defending a friend. He also has an amazing court presence, I knew I was being defended by a true professional when I saw him in court. I am so grateful to have found his law firm because without them the case would have gone a lot worse. Seriously if you need a criminal defense attorney he is the man to go to.

When you are at your lowest and afraid of the unknown it seems like there is no one to help. I scrambled to find a lawyer who not only was fair priced but also had the accolades and reputation.
After looking around I found DCD Law and after the first phone call I could tell the difference in person-ability. Many lawyers will try to belittle you or make you feel guilty but Kevin was patient and asked questions about details quickly.
I was facing a conviction that would of ruined my life as the severity was two strikes for an action that I did not even commit.

I stumbled upon DCD Law after searching for DUI lawyers for a couple days. I went through multiple lawyers who right away made me feel as if they were not going to fight for me or my case. Upon my first conversation with DCD Law I was certain I had found the lawyer best suited for me. I was facing a hefty charge with a lot of added dues regardless of this being my first offense. Nonetheless with Kevin on my side I never lost hope. He always gave me the reassurance needed, he was honest and straightforward which I appreciated most. Against all odds Kevin was able to reduce my charges and I couldn’t

I am absolutely grateful for finding DCD Law and hiring Kevin Moghtanei to represent me in court. Even though the charge I was facing was dreadful, Kevin made my wife and I feel completely at ease. The following are just a few of the many reasons why I believe you should also consider hiring Mr. Moghtanei as your defense Lawyer/Lifesaver:
1. He talks to you as a friend and not a client. This totally helped lower the stress and anxiety we were dealing with.
2. He is organized and consistent with his work. He would follow up with me and remind me to stay on top of everything I needed to do for court

Funny I don't make negative review often but that ok I am not here for a debate, but it shows that you don't take criticism, nobody force a Laywer to work on holidays, you made that choice yourself, asking how I should proceed and asking question doesn't make myself taken advantage. At the end I want someone that going to have my back, but you know the reason why it was return your 1k deposit. Nobody works for free this is 2021, I am a well respected person in my work field, I never once took advantage in my life. I will be making a formal complaint to your board for being unprofessional

I've known Kevin for about 5yrs now till this date. Kevin has represented two of my brothers that were facing some unfortunate legal battles. Kevin has always been approachable, responsive, trustworthy, and comforting. Since day one he always assured me, my family, and brothers that we could contact him during anytime of the day without any hesitation. He's made it a point to always put our minds at ease. We always walked out of his office assured that we could trust him and knew he was working diligently to achieve the best results. Kevin is someone that not only is here to represent

I chose Kevin as a recommendation from a close family friend. I was in a situation that seemed unlikely to have any resolution in my favor. My first call to him set a precedent for what would be a wonderful experience. When a person is presented with a scenario that could affect you and your family, your options can seem very limited. Kevin and DCD law exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, he kept me abreast of the process. Assurance in times like these is invaluable, and Kevin eased my mind. He made sure that I was aware of everything that would be happening. I am beyond delighted and

What can I say, if you need an attorney who only wants the best for you then you need Kevin Moghtanei. This man will battle it out for you to help your case come to the most beneficial outcome on your behalf. Nothing but professionalism, honesty (and some times desperately needed) realism. Why settle for less than Dcdlaw. This is coming from a client fighting a two year battle, things turned out better than expected. If you need to hear this, this is your guy.

Best Attorney!
A family member got a DUI back in June 2020 and Kevin made it all possible to resolve the problem and get a great offer that we couldn't be happier with.
Because of the pandemic there was enough time till court , He advise us with AA classes , and safety awareness classes .. luckily Zoom was an option and it worked out great. Started ahead of time with the process and by the time court came our family member had completed all the requirements to obtain a license and classes were completed.
The day of the court Kevin made it happen , provide the completion of the classes

Kevin was really helpful and understanding the whole process. I was able to get a hold of him whenever I had a question. He provides his cell phone number and gets back to you asap. I'm really thankful. He was able to reduce my dui to a wet reckless.
I checked other places before coming to DCA Law and I'm glad I picked DCA Law. I'm really thankful to have had Kevin help me with my dui case.

I got in trouble with the Law about a year back I was researching online for 2 days straight looking for an attorney that would not BS me around after several tries with different attorneys and tactics to get me in their office for a consultation I found Kevin he offered me a 20 min free consultation over the phone which showed me his transparency right off the bat soon I realized he was the most professional attorney I have come across he is Straight forward about what he is able to do. The best thing about him I may say is the fact that he knows how to comfort people especially in times of need

I made a huge mistake and had no idea where to turn until i found Kevin. Kevin always took his time and made sure that i knew exactly what was happening with my case. I have personally seen Kevin stand up for me and try to get me the best terms possible for my case. Never did Kevin fall behind or forget something he is so diligent and caring. My family and i were more than a handful but he always took his time and helped us get through a very hard time. Not to mention at a great price seriously the nicest lawyer I spoke with. I cant even imagine how I'd go through this situation without him

Got involved in a situation where I was at the wrong place, wrong time. Didn't ever think I'd be in a situation where'd I'd ever need an attorney, but life took a crazy turn. I got hit with a citation for criminal trespassing. I had no idea what to do, and considered just representing myself. I knew hiring an attorney would be extremely expensive, so I did some research. That's when I came across Kevin. From day 1 he kept things honest and was straightforward. He made it clear to me what chances I had of beating the case, but he also let me know that it was a serious offense

I am extremely happy with my decision in choosing Kevin! I was worried and stressed about finding an attorney who I felt would help me with my case and not just be about getting any client he could. Not only does he make you feel comfortable; he is really caring, genuine, and answers any questions you may have. He goes above and beyond on getting the best outcome for your case. I wish I could put 5 stars a million times. That's how happy I am with him representing me in court. I recommend him he truly is the best!!! Thank You Again!!
