We challenge field sobriety test validity, chemical testing procedures, and police conduct to protect clients' rights. With over 25 years of experience handling California DUI cases, we leverage local court relationships to negotiate dismissals or reduced charges. Our approach includes scrutinizing breathalyzer calibration records, blood test chain of custody, and probable cause for traffic stops while maintaining direct client access throughout the process.

We provide strategic defense for domestic violence allegations through evidence analysis and legal advocacy. Our approach includes challenging witness credibility, examining injury documentation, and negotiating alternative sentencing options. The firm protects clients' rights during protective order hearings and works to prevent long-term consequences to employment and family relationships while maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the legal process.
Theft Charges
Our theft defense practice addresses charges ranging from shoplifting to grand theft auto. We challenge property valuation evidence, examine intent requirements, and explore diversion programs for first-time offenders. The firm works to prevent permanent criminal records by negotiating civil compromises and demonstrating lack of criminal intent in cases involving mistaken possession or property disputes.

We defend assault and battery charges by analyzing medical evidence, challenging witness accounts, and demonstrating self-defense claims. Our approach includes negotiating reduced charges for lesser-included offenses while preparing for trial when necessary. The firm protects clients' Second Amendment rights and works to prevent mandatory sentencing enhancements under California's Three Strikes Law.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?
Contact an attorney before speaking to police. Do not admit to drinking or taking substances. Preserve evidence like dashcam footage and witness statements while avoiding further legal complications.
Can domestic violence charges be dismissed?
Yes, charges can be dismissed through evidence challenges, witness credibility issues, or demonstrating lack of injury. Prosecutors may drop cases when victims recant statements or when self-defense applies.
How does prior criminal history affect theft charges?
Previous convictions can elevate petty theft to felonies with harsher penalties. Our attorneys challenge prior offense validity and negotiate alternative sentencing to minimize long-term consequences.
What defense options exist for drug possession charges?
We challenge unlawful search and seizure, contest lab results, and explore diversion programs. Successful defenses include demonstrating lack of knowledge or possession control while protecting constitutional rights.
How does the criminal defense process work?
The process involves arraignment, discovery, pretrial motions, and trial preparation. We negotiate plea deals when beneficial or proceed to trial with comprehensive evidence challenges and witness cross-examinations.
