Services
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense service specializes in challenging chemical test results, identifying procedural errors, and negotiating reduced charges. We handle first-time offenses, multiple DUIs, and complex cases involving injuries or drug-related charges. With extensive experience in California's DUI laws, we develop strategic defenses tailored to blood alcohol content evidence, field sobriety tests, and license suspension implications.
Criminal Appeals
We provide post-conviction representation focusing on legal errors during trial proceedings. Our team analyzes court records to identify grounds for appeal, prepares detailed briefs, and presents arguments before appellate courts. This service targets improper evidence admission, jury misconduct, and sentencing guideline violations to seek overturned convictions or reduced penalties.
Domestic Violence
Our domestic violence defense addresses false accusations, self-defense claims, and evidence challenges. We handle restraining order disputes, mandatory counseling requirements, and firearm possession implications. The service includes negotiating with prosecutors to reduce charges to lesser offenses while protecting clients' employment and family law rights.
Drug Crimes
We defend against drug possession, distribution, and manufacturing charges under California Health & Safety Code. Our approach examines search warrant validity, chain of custody issues, and lab analysis accuracy. We pursue pretrial diversion programs, negotiate charge reductions, and challenge evidence obtained through unconstitutional police conduct.
Assault Charges
Our assault defense covers battery, aggravated assault, and weapon-enhanced charges. We investigate self-defense claims, analyze injury severity classifications, and challenge witness credibility. The service includes negotiating plea agreements for lesser offenses like disturbing the peace while minimizing jail time and criminal record consequences.
