Criminal Defense

If you are arrested and charged with a crime in California you will need an attorney to help navigate the criminal court process. I am here to help with your misdemeanor case.

When you are arrested the District Attorney of the county in which you were arrested intends to examine your case and see whether charges will be filed against you.  The District Attorneys are, as the name implies, attorneys.  That means that you will go into court without an attorney to defend you, against a highly trained, experienced attorney whose job it is to charge and convict you.  You will likely not be eligible for a Public Defender if you have a job.

If you are arrested for Driving Under the Influence, you will have to deal with both the District Attorney and the California Department of Motor Vehicles. You may even be brought into civil court if there was property damage or personal injury. With all these possible difficulties shouldn’t you have someone help you? I have helped others with their DUI and related issues and can help you as well. I am here to give you personal service of your legal matters.

If you are arrested for any other criminal matter, it is important to seek legal counsel and soon as possible to sort out your options. Being arrested is not a joke. People often end up with a permanent criminal record, not realizing that by failing to get an attorney they have destroyed any chance they had of protecting those rights. That criminal record will stick with you for years and the amount of suffering is not worth trying to save a few dollars to do it yourself.
