Building Your Defense

The Arrest

The first issue in any criminal case is the legality of the original encounter between the accused and the police. We need to know as many details as possible about that encounter, as even minor details can make all the difference. If the police did not have a 'reasonable and articulable' basis for your detention, all evidence seized must be suppressed, and the police will have no case.

The Charge

Each charge carries a different consequence. You may be facing a simple misdemeanor or possibly a felony which may carry up to a life sentence. It is vital that you understand the ramifications of the charges you are facing, as even a misdemeanor can have serious consequences and completely alter the course of a person's life.

Minor Charges Can Cause Lasting Consequences

The Defense

Every criminal charge is unique. Strict procedures and laws must be followed in order for the charges to be upheld. Preparing the defense in criminal cases involves investigation of the facts (which includes the discovery of the government's evidence and interviewing witnesses, etc.), researching the law, and of course, discussing the case with the prosecutor. The point is, we need to get involved in the case as early as possible. With so much on the line, you cannot afford to chance your defense to an inexperienced attorney.

You’re here because either you or a loved one needs professional legal help. I have spent over 18 years gathering the knowledge and experience that will make a difference in your case.

I haven’t always been a lawyer. I used to be an investigator for the Los Angeles Police Department. have thrown myself into my work. I have had over 20 successful trials and about 5 unsuccessful ones, each one was a learning experience. I have gotten thousands of cases dismissed before trial. My law firm has the tools, the personalities and the passion that your case needs.

I am a criminal law specialist, certified in 2018 by the California Board of Legal Specialization. Less than 1% of California attorneys have this designation. It requires real trial experience, hundreds of hours of study, passing a test that half of all attorneys fail, and a perfect record for the California State Bar. I have spent over 100,000 hours at the office, including very late nights and weekends where I barricade myself in the office to finish a motion, an appellate brief, or a trial book (sometimes called a “murder book”). We don’t go to court unprepared.

My staff is top-tier. My office manager is a certified paralegal with over 15 years of experience. My associate attorney is a former Orange County prosecutor who has never lost a felony trial.

We work tirelessly to get our work done and we do it so that our clients get the result that they want which is usually much better than what the opposing party wants them to get.

We do criminal defense, civil litigation, appellate work, post-conviction work (on some cases), juvenile dependency, juvenile delinquency and family law.
