DUI Defense
Greg Hill & Associates defends clients charged with misdemeanor or felony DUI, including breath test challenges, DMV license revocation hearings, and immigration consequence mitigation. Our team leverages over 1,000 handled DUI cases to identify procedural errors in traffic stops, blood alcohol testing, and evidentiary issues. We prioritize pre-filing diversion programs, reduced charges through wet/dry reckless pleas, and courtroom defense strategies tailored to each client's professional and personal needs.
Domestic Violence
Specializing in Penal Code 273.5 cases, we defend against false accusations, prosecutorial overreach, and immigration consequences. Our approach includes immediate bail advocacy, Pitchess motions for officer misconduct records, and alternative sentencing proposals like anger management programs. With over 80 case results, we focus on minimizing mandatory batterer's classes, preserving parental rights, and preventing career-ending convictions through strategic negotiations and evidentiary challenges.
Drug Offenses
We handle possession, sales, transportation, and manufacturing charges under California Health & Safety Code. Our defense emphasizes Fourth Amendment violations, lab evidence retesting, and Prop 36/PC1000 diversion eligibility. With hundreds of cases resolved, we secure dismissals through suppression motions, informant confidentiality leverage, and alternative sentencing proposals, particularly for first-time offenders and non-citizens facing deportation risks from felony convictions.
Federal Offenses
Our firm represents clients facing federal charges including drug trafficking, white-collar crimes, and extradition matters. We challenge search warrant validity, analyze sentencing guideline disparities, and negotiate plea bargains that avoid mandatory minimums. With court experience in USDC Central District, we emphasize mitigating immigration impacts and leveraging local judicial relationships to secure favorable pretrial and trial outcomes for high-stakes federal cases.
Probation Violations
We defend probation revocation allegations through evidentiary hearings, technical violation mitigation, and alternative sentencing proposals. Our strategies include PC1203.3 modification motions, rehabilitation evidence presentation, and addressing underlying charges that triggered violations. With comprehensive knowledge of California's probation statutes, we work to maintain sentencing alternatives while protecting clients' freedom during revocation proceedings.
