Gang Crimes Defense in Ontario, CA
California takes gang-related charges extremely seriously. If prosecutors add a “gang enhancement” to your case, you could face years or even decades of extra prison time on top of the underlying charges. Even when the evidence of gang involvement is weak, these enhancements are used to pressure defendants into harsh plea deals.
At GBART Law, we know how high the stakes are — and we know how to fight back.
What Counts as a Gang Crime?
Gang allegations can be added to many charges, including:
- Drug sales or trafficking
- Weapons possession or use
- Assault, robbery, or homicide
- Conspiracy or organized activity
Prosecutors often rely on tattoos, clothing, social media, or associations to claim gang involvement — even if there’s no solid proof.
How We Defend Gang Allegations
Gang cases often rely on shaky evidence and broad assumptions. We focus on:
- Challenging whether a gang actually exists as defined by law
- Fighting claims that the defendant acted “for the benefit of” a gang
- Attacking unreliable testimony from informants or “experts”
- Separating the client from the alleged actions of others
Our goal is to remove the gang enhancement or beat the underlying charges altogether.
