Attorney Jimmy Cha is a solo practitioner at the Law Office of Jimmy Cha and dedicates his practice solely to criminal defense. Mr. Cha's criminal law background, and experience in the field provides him with a unique point of view of the criminal system that allows him to more appropriately advocate on behalf of his clients.
