Our Modesto-based team serves Central Valley and Northern California clients, focusing on dismissals, charge reductions, and protecting clients' futures through local courtroom expertise.
DUI Defense
We defend DUI charges across California with technical expertise in field sobriety tests, breathalyzer accuracy, and DMV proceedings. Our Certified Criminal Law Specialist analyzes traffic stops, evidence collection, and officer conduct to challenge cases. From license suspension hearings to trial representation, we protect clients' driving privileges and freedom in Modesto and surrounding counties.
Domestic Violence
Our firm defends domestic violence charges involving false allegations, relationship complexities, and protective orders. We challenge evidence credibility, expose procedural errors, and mitigate consequences like jail time and firearms bans. With courtroom experience in Stanislaus County Superior Court, we protect clients' records while addressing the sensitive nature of these cases.
Drug Crime Defense
We challenge drug charges by examining search legality, lab testing errors, and informant reliability. Our defense includes possession, trafficking, and cultivation cases, focusing on suppression motions and diversion programs. With knowledge of California's evolving drug laws, we pursue dismissals, reduced charges, and alternative sentencing for clients in Modesto and Stockton areas.
Personal Injury
We represent injury victims on contingency in car accidents, slip-and-falls, and wrongful death cases. Our Modesto firm negotiates with insurance companies and pursues full compensation for medical bills and lost wages. Using trial experience, we prepare cases for litigation while offering local representation that out-of-town firms cannot match.
