DUI Defense

Our DUI defense practice handles all offense levels from first-time charges to felony cases with injury or high blood alcohol content. We challenge evidence through technical defenses like improper breathalyzer calibration and blood sample fermentation. Our attorneys negotiate charge reductions and alternative sentencing while protecting clients' driving privileges through restricted license applications.

Vehicle Crimes

We defend against serious vehicle code violations including hit-and-run, reckless driving, and evading police. Our practice secures outcomes like felony-to-misdemeanor reductions and complete dismissals through evidence suppression and plea negotiations. We address both criminal penalties and driving record consequences across Bay Area jurisdictions.

Criminal Defense

Our criminal defense covers domestic violence, drug offenses, theft, and weapons violations. We pursue pre-trial dismissals through diversion programs and motion practice while advocating for probation over incarceration. The firm handles warrant clearances, probation violations, and criminal record expungement with a focus on minimizing long-term consequences.

DMV Hearings

We represent clients in administrative DMV hearings for DUI-related license suspensions and negligent operator proceedings. Our attorneys challenge evidence to prevent license revocation and help clients obtain restricted driving privileges during suspension periods through legal process navigation.

Case Dismissals

Our firm prioritizes pre-trial case dismissals through motion practice and evidence suppression. When dismissal isn't possible, we negotiate charge reductions to minimize penalties. This includes reducing DUI charges to wet reckless pleas and converting felonies to misdemeanors with no jail time in many cases.
