Law Office of Gregory H. Comings operates as a criminal defense practice serving Riverside and San Bernardino counties in California. Gregory Comings has handled criminal defense work for over 21 years, focusing exclusively on representing people accused of crimes rather than prosecution or civil matters. His practice covers everything from misdemeanor charges to serious felonies, with trial experience spanning more than 100 felony jury trials including murder cases.

The case types handled run the full spectrum of criminal charges. Domestic violence representation includes misdemeanor and felony charges involving spouses, partners, cohabitants, and co-parents, plus related issues like criminal threats, corporal injury, child abuse, and stalking. Drug offense defense covers possession, distribution, trafficking, manufacturing, and cultivation charges involving methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, prescription drugs, marijuana, and synthetic substances. Sex crime defense handles sexual assault, battery, rape, lewd acts involving children, and related charges that often carry sex offender registration requirements.

Violent crime defense forms another major practice area. Murder charges receive particular attention given the stakes involved—life imprisonment, decades in state prison, or potentially the death penalty under California law. The firm distinguishes between first-degree murder involving premeditation and second-degree cases, understanding how felony murder rules and special circumstances affect charging decisions. Assault and battery cases, kidnapping charges, robbery, carjacking, and weapons offenses all fall within the practice's scope.

DUI defense addresses both misdemeanor and felony drunk driving charges. The approach involves examining every detail from the initial traffic stop through breathalyzer administration, looking for procedural errors or constitutional violations that could weaken the prosecution's case. White collar crime representation handles fraud, embezzlement, and financial offenses. Juvenile crime defense works with minors facing charges in the juvenile justice system, which operates under different rules than adult criminal court.

Comings graduated from California Southern Law School and holds memberships in the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers plus the San Bernardino and Riverside bar associations. His approach emphasizes availability to clients—the practice operates 24/7 for urgent situations since arrests and charges don't respect business hours. He positions himself as a trial attorney who stays ready for court rather than an office lawyer who avoids the courtroom, with witnesses prepared and cases thoroughly researched before trial dates.

The defense strategy varies by case but often involves challenging the prosecution's evidence, asserting constitutional protections against improper searches and seizures, negotiating with district attorneys for charge reductions or dismissals, and preparing for trial when settlement doesn't serve the client's interests. Case results show examples like reducing rape charges to assault with grants of probation instead of prison time, securing acquittals on strike charges while obtaining convictions only on lesser misdemeanors, and achieving charge dismissals through investigation and negotiation.

Comings emphasizes building relationships with deputy district attorneys and judges in Riverside and San Bernardino courts, which he views as beneficial for negotiating favorable outcomes. His background includes witnessing what he describes as injustices growing up—people wrongly accused or facing punishments disproportionate to their offenses—which influenced his decision to focus on criminal defense work. The practice treats all cases with similar dedication regardless of severity, recognizing that even minor charges represent significant consequences for the person facing them.

Free initial consultations let potential clients discuss their cases before making retention decisions. The practice serves communities throughout Southern California including Riverside, San Bernardino, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Temecula, Moreno Valley, Indio, Highland, Ontario, Victorville, Rancho Cucamonga, and surrounding areas. The office provides case evaluations where Comings reviews the charges, explains legal options, and outlines potential defense strategies tailored to each situation's specific facts and circumstances.
