What Is a Wrongful Conviction?
A wrongful conviction occurs when someone is found guilty of a crime they did not commit. These injustices often stem from:
- Fabricated or withheld evidence
- Coerced confessions
- Misconduct by police or prosecutors
- Faulty eyewitness testimony
- Racial bias or systemic failures
We’ve represented individuals wrongfully convicted of serious crimes, including murder, who spent years behind bars before the truth came to light. In some cases, they lost over a decade of their life to a system that failed them. If this happened to you or someone you love, you may be entitled to significant compensation under federal and California law.
We’ve taken on police departments, district attorneys, and powerful institutions, and we’re not afraid to fight for what’s right.

What Is Malicious Prosecution?
Wrongful convictions often involve more than simple error. They involve malicious prosecution.
Malicious prosecution occurs when law enforcement or prosecutors pursue criminal charges without probable cause, with malice or intent to harm and the case ends in the defendant’s favor (e.g., dismissal, acquittal, or exoneration)
This abuse of power is not just unethical. It’s illegal. Whether it was a detective who fabricated evidence or a prosecutor who withheld key information, those responsible can and should be held accountable. The Law Offices of Dale K. Galipo aggressively pursues justice for victims of malicious prosecution in Los Angeles and throughout California.
