Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice handles misdemeanor and felony cases across California, including DUI, domestic violence, drug offenses, and white-collar crimes. With former prosecutorial experience, we develop strategic defenses tailored to each case's unique circumstances. Our approach combines thorough evidence analysis, courtroom advocacy, and negotiation skills to achieve dismissals, reduced charges, or favorable verdicts while protecting clients' constitutional rights.
Immigration Law
We provide comprehensive immigration solutions including deportation defense, green card applications, citizenship processing, and employment-based visas. Our expertise extends to complex cases involving criminal convictions affecting immigration status. We represent individuals and families in matters before USCIS, immigration courts, and federal appellate courts, focusing on personalized strategies to achieve lawful residency or citizenship goals through family-based, employment-based, or humanitarian pathways.
DUI Defense
Specializing in California DUI defense, we challenge evidence admissibility, breathalyzer accuracy, and procedural compliance to protect driving privileges and minimize penalties. Our approach addresses both DMV administrative hearings and criminal court proceedings, seeking charge reductions or dismissals through technical defenses and negotiation while preparing for trial when necessary. We handle first-time offenses, repeat violations, and complex cases involving accidents or injuries.
Drug Offenses
We defend against California drug charges ranging from simple possession to transportation and sales allegations. Our strategies challenge evidence collection procedures, laboratory testing validity, and possession claims while exploring diversion programs where applicable. We address both misdemeanor and felony charges under Health & Safety Code sections 11350-11380, focusing on minimizing incarceration risks, preserving employment opportunities, and mitigating immigration consequences for non-citizens.
Domestic Violence
Our domestic violence defense covers charges under California Penal Code sections 243(e)(1), 273.5, and related statutes. We challenge evidence credibility, examine alleged injury severity, and address false accusations while protecting clients' parental rights and professional licenses. We handle both misdemeanor and felony allegations involving spousal, cohabitant, or child abuse, seeking dismissals, reduced charges, or alternative sentencing options that avoid mandatory probation requirements.
