DUI Defense
Our DUI defense practice handles California and Nevada cases with expertise in blood-alcohol challenges, DMV license hearings, and charge reductions. We protect clients from license suspensions and minimize jail time through technical and procedural defenses. Our experience with local prosecutors and courts delivers favorable plea agreements and trial outcomes.
Drug Offenses
We defend all drug-related charges including possession, cultivation, and trafficking across both states. Our strategies include challenging evidence collection methods, negotiating diversion programs, and utilizing medical marijuana protections. We focus on preventing incarceration through treatment program referrals and charge dismissals.
Medical Marijuana
Our practice advises on compliance with California and Nevada medical marijuana laws while defending related charges. We work with qualified patients to maintain legal protections, challenge unlawful seizures, and navigate state-specific possession limits through constitutional arguments and statutory defenses.
Assault & Battery
We defend against physical altercation charges using self-defense arguments and evidence challenges. Our approach focuses on disproving intent, demonstrating proportionality of response, and minimizing long-term consequences through charge reductions to lesser offenses with fewer penalties.
Probation Violations
Our practice helps clients facing probation revocation through violation explanations and rehabilitation demonstrations. We negotiate with courts to maintain probation status while addressing underlying compliance issues through modified supervision plans and corrective actions.
