Proven Legal Experience
With extensive experience, the Law Office of Vikas Bajaj, APC provides strategic criminal defense for clients facing state and federal charges. Every case is approached with careful preparation, personal attention, and a focus on protecting what matters most.
Start with one question: is your case in state court or federal court? State cases are brought by the District Attorney or the San Diego City Attorney in San Diego Superior Court under California law. Federal cases are brought by the U.S. Attorney in the U.S. District Court under federal statutes, with different rules, a different timeline and the federal sentencing guidelines. Vikas Bajaj represents clients in both, and each area below links to a detailed guide.
Federal investigations and prosecutions, in the Southern District of California and nationwide.
Fraud, embezzlement, money laundering and healthcare fraud allegations.
Two cases at once: the criminal charge in court and the license case at DMV.
Criminal charges, criminal protective orders and the family-court restraining orders that often run alongside them.
Assault, battery, weapons and homicide charges.
State possession and sales charges, diversion, and federal drug cases.
Theft, burglary and robbery charges.
Defense against sex-offense allegations, including registration consequences.
Courts-martial, administrative separation and military diversion.
State cases are prosecuted by a county district attorney in Superior Court under California law. Federal cases are prosecuted by a U.S. Attorney’s Office in U.S. District Court under federal statutes. The courts, rules and sentencing frameworks differ.
No. A prosecutor decides whether to file charges, ask for more investigation, or decline, and charges can change as a case develops.
Potentially, yes. Knowingly making a materially false statement in a federal matter can itself be a federal offense, so many people speak with a lawyer before agreeing to an interview.
In California it can: a criminal case in court and a separate DMV action on the driver’s license, each with its own deadlines. Ask about the DMV deadline right away.
Do not discuss the matter with investigators, keep your documents and messages, and speak with a criminal defense lawyer before answering an interview request, subpoena or search warrant.
