Military Criminal Defense
Specialized representation for service members facing military justice proceedings. Our firm handles general and special court-martials, administrative separations, and discharge upgrade petitions. With insider knowledge of military protocols and a 100% acquittal rate in contested trials, we protect careers and reputations through aggressive advocacy. Our approach combines tactical litigation with strategic negotiations to achieve dismissals, reduced charges, or full acquittals while safeguarding clients' constitutional rights throughout the process.
Criminal Defense
Comprehensive defense for state and federal criminal charges including DUI, domestic violence, drug offenses, and violent crimes. We challenge prosecutorial evidence, identify constitutional violations, and develop tailored defense strategies. Our trial-tested approach prioritizes early intervention to prevent charges while preparing every case for trial to maximize leverage. We represent clients in California and federal courts, focusing on preserving freedom, minimizing penalties, and protecting future opportunities through both litigation and negotiated resolutions.
Personal Injury
Aggressive representation for injury victims seeking compensation from negligent parties. We handle automobile accidents, medical malpractice, premises liability, and product defect cases on a contingency basis. Our firm investigates claims thoroughly, quantifies economic and non-economic damages, and pursues maximum compensation through settlement negotiations or jury trials. We specialize in countering insurance company tactics while providing compassionate support to clients during recovery periods.
Administrative Separation Defense
Strategic defense against involuntary military separation proceedings. We represent service members facing non-judicial punishment, adverse fitness reports, or command-initiated discharge actions. Our approach combines procedural challenges with substantive evidence presentation to preserve careers and benefits. We leverage insider knowledge of military regulations to negotiate alternative resolutions or present compelling cases before separation boards, ensuring clients' service records accurately reflect their contributions.
Discharge Upgrades
Legal advocacy for veterans seeking discharge characterization improvements or record amendments. We handle cases before the Board for Correction of Military Records, focusing on procedural irregularities, PTSD-related misconduct, and command bias. Our process includes gathering medical evidence, witness statements, and service documentation to build persuasive cases that restore veterans' benefits and reputations through formal appeals and administrative litigation.
