Criminal Defense
Criminal defense encompasses a wide range of misdemeanor and felony matters, including assault and battery, domestic violence, weapons charges, and other serious allegations. Depending on the offense and circumstances, a conviction can result in jail or prison time, probation, substantial fines, court-ordered programs, and a lasting criminal record.Beyond the immediate penalties, criminal charges can affect employment, professional licensing, housing, relationships, and future opportunities. Every case is different, and factors such as the available evidence, prior criminal history, law enforcement procedures, and circumstances surrounding the alleged offense can influence the outcome. Understanding your rights and available defense options early in the process can be critical when so much is at stake.
DUI Defense
DUI charges in California can carry serious consequences that extend well beyond the initial arrest. Depending on the circumstances, a conviction may result in driver’s license suspension, fines, probation, DUI education programs, and possible jail time. Penalties can become more severe when a case involves prior DUI convictions, injuries, drugs, chemical-test refusal, or other aggravating factors. A DUI case can also involve both a criminal court proceeding and a separate California DMV process affecting driving privileges. Evidence such as the legality of the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, breath or blood test results, officer observations, and testing procedures can all play an important role. Understanding these issues and acting quickly—particularly when DMV deadlines apply—can be critical to protecting your license, record, and future.
Our Practice Focus – Strategic Criminal & DUI Defense
Assault and battery charges can result from physical confrontations, threats, or disputes and may carry serious criminal penalties. The circumstances, evidence, and intent involved can significantly affect how a case is handled.
Drug charges can involve possession, distribution, trafficking, or other controlled substance offenses. Depending on the allegations, a conviction may result in fines, probation, incarceration, and other lasting consequences.
Felony and misdemeanor charges can carry serious consequences, including incarceration, probation, fines, and a criminal record. The severity of the penalties depends on the specific offense, circumstances, and prior history.
White collar crimes involve financially motivated offenses such as fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and forgery. These cases can involve complex investigations and carry significant financial and criminal penalties.
A first DUI can result in license suspension, fines, probation, DUI education programs, and possible jail time. Acting quickly is important, especially when separate California DMV deadlines apply.
A DUI arrest can trigger a separate DMV action against your driving privileges. California drivers generally have only 10 days to request a DMV hearing, making quick action critical.
California imposes strict Zero Tolerance laws on drivers under 21. Even a low BAC can lead to license suspension and other consequences that may affect a young driver’s future.
A DUI involving injury can lead to enhanced penalties and potentially felony charges. These cases often involve complex issues surrounding impairment, accident causation, and the severity of the alleged injuries.
