Criminal Defense Services Tailored to Tehama County
A criminal defense attorney in Tehama County needs to understand both California statutes and how local courts actually operate. Our team develops defense strategies that account for how charges are filed and how evidence is presented at the Tehama County Superior Court. We coordinate directly with local law enforcement agencies, including the Tehama County Sheriff’s Office, Red Bluff Police Department, and Corning Police Department, which submit cases to the Tehama County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution. Knowing which agency built a case, and how, can be the first step in identifying a strong defense.
We handle the full range of criminal matters at Tehama County Superior Court, including DUI, drug charges, violent crimes, property crimes, domestic violence, probation violations, felonies, and misdemeanors. Court appearances are mandatory, and failure to appear can result in an arrest warrant. Court calendars fill quickly, and certain rights or defenses must be preserved within strict deadlines. Early action matters.

Custom defense strategy development: We review police reports, interview witnesses, and organize documentation with attention to Tehama County’s practices.
Transparent guidance: We keep you informed about your case status and options so you can make confident decisions at each stage.
Active participation: We encourage you to contribute insights and concerns and actively shape your defense, ensuring your side of the story is front and center.

How Long Do Criminal Cases Typically Take to Resolve in Tehama County?
Timelines vary depending on the complexity of your case, the charges involved, and the court schedule. Some cases resolve within a few weeks; others take several months or longer.
Will I Have to Appear in Court for Every Hearing?
In many misdemeanor cases, our attorneys can appear on your behalf for certain hearings. Felony cases generally require your personal presence for most court dates unless a judge specifically excuses you.
What Should I Do if Law Enforcement Contacts Me?
Stay calm, exercise your right to remain silent, and politely ask to speak with an attorney before answering any questions. Protecting that right early puts us in a stronger position to guide your next steps.
Can Charges Be Reduced or Dismissed?
Charges can sometimes be reduced or dismissed through negotiation or legal motions, depending on the evidence or procedural issues in your case. Every situation is different and deserves individual evaluation.
How Is Bail Set in Tehama County?
Bail is determined according to the county bail schedule and the facts of your case. The nature of the charges and your history are both considered during your initial appearance in Superior Court.

“You ROCK!!!”
I am writing to let others know that Rob Hammond and his staff our top notch. My son has been involved with criminal justice system for a few years and we were lucky when Rob got his cases. He is smart, realistic, upfront, with a great sense of humor. I called many times and he always called back, despite his crazy schedule. The outcome, through Rob’s hard work and understanding of Shasta County’s Criminal Justice system, was excellent. My son has a chance to be the great guy he is. I strongly believe if we had another attorney the outcome would not have been the same.
As for his staff - outstanding. They put up with a nagging mom and showed me respect and understanding. My messages were passed on and/or they called me back.
I truly very thankful for Rob Hammond and highly recommend him. So much so that I am writing my first review! Not just anyone could prompt me to do this. I want Rob, his staff, and the folks of Shasta County to know that if in a situation where you need legal representation - call Hammond Law office. He is the MAN!!!
