Questions
Should I take a chemical test if stopped for DUI?
Refusing a chemical test carries automatic penalties. Consult our attorneys immediately to understand consequences and defense options for your specific situation.
What is an expungement and how do I get it?
An expungement clears criminal records through court petitions. Our attorneys evaluate eligibility and guide clients through California's PC 1203.4 and PC 851.91 processes.
Can I lose my driver's license for vandalism?
Yes, California law allows license suspension for vandalism convictions. Our attorneys challenge these penalties and seek alternative resolutions.
How do gang crime charges differ from regular crimes?
Gang charges involve specialized prosecution units and enhanced penalties. Our former Deputy DA leverages insider knowledge to counter gang expert testimony and reduce charges.
What happens during a DMV hearing for DUI?
DMV hearings determine license suspension outcomes. We represent clients within 10-day deadlines to challenge evidence and preserve driving privileges.
Can juvenile offenses transfer to adult court?
Certain serious juvenile crimes may transfer to adult court under Welfare and Institutions Code Section 707. Our specialized juvenile defense prevents this outcome when possible.
