Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense attorneys handle felony and misdemeanor cases ranging from assault to white-collar crimes. With 76+ years combined experience, we challenge evidence, protect constitutional rights, and negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or dismiss cases. Our Sacramento-based team represents clients in local, state, and federal courts, providing strategic defense for both minor offenses and serious criminal allegations.
DUI Defense
Specializing in California DUI defense, we challenge breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and police procedure violations. Our attorneys analyze blood test chain-of-custody issues and traffic stop legality to build strong defenses. With extensive courtroom experience, we negotiate reduced penalties or case dismissals while protecting clients' driving privileges and insurance rates.
Marijuana Collective Legal Support
We provide comprehensive legal guidance for medical marijuana businesses, including collective formation, permit acquisition, and compliance with state regulations. Our services cover business documentation, contract drafting, and government relations for dispensaries and growers in Sacramento and surrounding areas, ensuring adherence to evolving cannabis laws and Attorney General guidelines.
Drug Charges Defense
Our attorneys defend against drug possession, distribution, and trafficking charges under California Health and Safety Code. We challenge unlawful searches, possession claims, and intent-to-sell allegations by examining evidence handling procedures and constitutional rights violations. With experience in complex drug cases, we negotiate reduced sentences or alternative sentencing programs for first-time and repeat offenders.
Sex Crimes Defense
We defend clients against serious sex crime allegations including statutory rape, child molestation, and sexual assault charges. Our approach challenges witness credibility, examines forensic evidence, and protects against false accusations. With experience in sensitive cases, we maintain client confidentiality while developing defense strategies to minimize registration requirements and incarceration risks under California Penal Code sections.

Questions
Do I have to let the police search my house or car?
Police generally need a warrant or your consent to search your home. Vehicle searches during arrests are permitted, but not during minor traffic stops. Refusing consent protects your rights.
Can the police lie to me during questioning?
Yes, law enforcement can use deception during interrogations, including false claims about evidence or witness statements to obtain confessions.
What is a pretext phone call from police?
This occurs when alleged victims contact suspects (often in sexual assault cases) to record confessions. These calls are frequently monitored and used as evidence.
Are polygraph tests admissible in court?
No, polygraph results aren't accepted as evidence in California criminal proceedings due to scientific reliability standards under the Frye test.
Can my silence be used against me?
No, your right to remain silent under Miranda protections cannot be used as evidence of guilt at any stage of criminal proceedings.
How can I avoid arrest during police encounters?
Maintain respectful cooperation, understand your Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches, and exercise your right to remain silent until consulting an attorney.
