Services
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense practice combines technical knowledge of chemical testing with courtroom experience to challenge evidence and protect clients' rights. We examine police procedures, breathalyzer calibration records, and medical factors that could affect test results. With former prosecutorial insight, we develop defense strategies tailored to each case's unique circumstances while maintaining open communication with clients throughout the process.
Drug Crimes
We defend against drug-related charges ranging from possession to trafficking allegations. Our approach examines law enforcement procedures, search warrant validity, and potential constitutional violations. Understanding California's complex drug laws, we explore alternatives like diversion programs while preparing for trial when necessary. Our bilingual capabilities help non-English speakers fully understand their legal options and consequences.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence defense requires balancing legal strategy with sensitive handling of personal relationships. We challenge evidence credibility, examine police report inconsistencies, and address false accusations. Our experience includes negotiating reduced charges and protecting clients' rights during restraining order hearings while maintaining their dignity throughout the legal process.
Sex Crimes
Sex crime allegations demand immediate, strategic defense due to their severe social and legal consequences. We investigate evidence collection procedures, challenge witness credibility, and address registry requirements. Our approach combines aggressive courtroom advocacy with discreet handling of sensitive matters, focusing on minimizing long-term impacts on clients' personal and professional lives.
Expungements
We help clients remove past convictions from their records to improve employment and housing opportunities. Our process includes eligibility assessments, petition preparation, and court representation. Understanding the nuances of California's expungement laws, we guide clients through the process while addressing potential immigration consequences and other collateral effects of criminal records.
