DUI Defense
Our DUI defense service challenges drunk driving charges through strategic legal representation, leveraging knowledge of California's vehicle codes and courtroom procedures. We analyze chemical test accuracy, contest procedural violations, and negotiate plea bargains to minimize penalties. Clients benefit from former prosecutor insights and a track record of securing dismissals, reduced charges, and license protection.
Domestic Violence
This service defends against domestic violence allegations by challenging evidence credibility and proving lack of intent or self-defense claims. We protect clients' rights during investigations, address false accusations, and minimize consequences like restraining orders or custody impacts. Our approach combines legal expertise with sensitivity to clients' reputational concerns.
Drug Crimes
We defend against drug possession, sales, and transportation charges by challenging unlawful search/seizure practices and lab analysis validity. Our strategies include negotiating diversion programs, reducing felony charges to misdemeanors, and securing expungements. Former prosecutorial experience informs effective counterarguments against complex drug crime allegations.
Expungement
This service helps clients remove criminal convictions from public records through legal expungement processes. We guide clients through eligibility requirements, petition preparation, and court proceedings to restore employment opportunities and personal reputations, focusing on long-term life improvement post-conviction.

Our approach includes modifying probation terms, securing rehabilitation program substitutions, and minimizing incarceration risks while maintaining clients' legal compliance.

Questions
What should I do immediately after a DUI arrest?
Contact an attorney immediately, avoid discussing your case publicly, and document all details while evidence is fresh.
Can first-time DUI charges be dismissed?
Yes, through defenses challenging test accuracy, procedural violations, or lack of probable cause for arrest.
How does a domestic violence charge affect child custody?
Allegations can impact custody arrangements; our defense focuses on disproving claims and minimizing long-term family consequences.
What's the difference between drug possession and possession for sale?
Possession involves personal use quantities, while possession for sale requires evidence of intent to distribute, typically carrying harsher penalties.
Can I get a restricted license after DUI charges?
Yes, through DMV hearings and ignition interlock device installation, though eligibility depends on case specifics and prior offenses.
