Services
Criminal Defense
The Bogan Law Firm provides aggressive criminal defense representation for misdemeanors and felonies. With over 500 contested proceedings, we challenge prosecutions using technical expertise and trial experience. Our Certified Criminal Law Specialist status enhances credibility in negotiations and trials.
DUI Defense
We defend DUI charges through DMV hearings and court proceedings. Our approach examines traffic stops, field sobriety tests, and chemical results to expose case weaknesses. Certified expertise ensures technical challenges to blood/breath evidence and procedural violations.
Domestic Violence Defense
Our defense strategy addresses domestic battery and protective order violations by scrutinizing evidence credibility. We protect clients' rights against exaggerated allegations while preserving records and future opportunities through courtroom-tested tactics.
Drug Crime Defense
We challenge drug possession and trafficking charges by investigating illegal searches, informant reliability, and lab errors. Our approach seeks suppression, diversion, or dismissal through evidentiary challenges and negotiated plea alternatives.
Personal Injury
The firm represents car accident and slip-and-fall victims on contingency basis. We pursue full compensation from insurance companies while clients focus on recovery. Local knowledge enhances effectiveness in Central Valley premises liability and wrongful death cases.
