Chris Nalchadjian, Esq. is the Founder and Lead Attorney of KN Law Firm, APLC, where he represents individuals facing serious criminal charges in California state and federal courts.

Not every criminal defense attorney is the same. Here is what separates KN Law Firm from the alternatives — a public defender stretched across 200 cases, or a large firm that hands you off to someone you've never met.
At large firms your case gets handed to a junior associate you've never met. At KN Law Firm, Attorney Chris personally handles every case — every call, every court date, every filing. You will always know exactly where your case stands.
Most criminal defense attorneys handle state court only. Attorney Chris is admitted to the U.S. District Court (CDCA), the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and the United States Supreme Court — giving you full coverage at every level.
Arrests don't happen at 9am on a Monday. When you or a loved one is arrested at midnight on a Friday, our emergency line is answered — personally — by Attorney Chris. No voicemail. No answering service.
Large firms bill hourly and the invoices don't stop. We quote a flat fee upfront so you know exactly what your defense costs from day one. No billing surprises. No watching the clock during your own consultation.
Public defenders carry 100–200 cases at a time — that means minutes per client. We deliberately limit our caseload so every single client receives the time, attention, and preparation their case demands. Your freedom is not a number.
Most law firms keep you in the dark. At KN Law Firm, every client gets access to a secure online portal where you can track your case status, review documents, and send messages to Attorney Chris — anytime, from any device.
Most people who call us have never hired a criminal defense attorney before. Here is exactly what to expect — no surprises, no pressure, no obligation.
Every conversation is protected by attorney-client privilege from the first word.
Reach us at any hour — day or night. Our emergency line is answered personally by Attorney Chris, not a receptionist or answering service. If you submit online, expect a call back within the hour.
Attorney Chris listens to everything. No judgment, no rushing. He asks the right questions to understand the full picture — charges, circumstances, prior history, evidence. This conversation is completely confidential.
We tell you exactly where you stand — the charges, the realistic outcomes, the strengths and weaknesses of your case. No sugarcoating. No promises we cannot keep. Just straight talk from someone who has been in that courtroom.
Once retained, Attorney Chris immediately gets to work — reviewing police reports, requesting discovery, identifying suppression issues, interviewing witnesses. Every case gets a custom strategy built around its specific facts.
Whether that means negotiating a dismissal before trial, winning a suppression motion, or taking your case to a jury — we fight every available angle. You will never feel like just another case number.
