Defense on Felony and Misdemeanor Charges

Assault and Violent Crimes: Family issues, conflicts with friends, neighbors, or coworkers-this is one of the most common ways people get in trouble with the police. Getting a lawyer on your case right away can make a difference in the outcome of your assault case. I handle any assault charge, including:

• Assault and battery, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, assault on a police officer
• Domestic violence, spousal abuse, or child abuse
• Juvenile dependency hearings to resolve family issues and help you regain custody of your child

Drug Crimes: I defend people in state and federal court on drug offenses ranging from simple possession to sale and distribution, manufacture of drugs, or drug trafficking.

Drunk Driving: Your driver's license is too important to leave to chance. Don't lose it without a fight. Contact my Tustin law office within 10 days of getting pulled over for DUI. I can begin work immediately to save your driver's license at the DMV license suspension hearing and in court.

Sex Crimes: I represent people facing criminal charges for sex offenses such as rape, sexual assault, possession of child pornography, prostitution or solicitation, and other sex crimes.

Theft and Property Crimes: I defend adults and juveniles charged with property crimes such as theft, burglary, larceny, shoplifting, or bad checks.

Juvenile Crime: I represent people under the age of 18 who are charged with any of a variety of criminal offenses in Southern California.

California Three Strikes Law

Under California's Three Strikes Law, you could face life imprisonment for a felony conviction if you have two prior "strikes." You may be surprised to learn what counts as a strike. I can explain the Three Strikes Law and whether you are in jeopardy.

I represent my clients personally at every step of the criminal proceedings. My goal is to get you out of jail and to keep you out of jail. I also help my clients get the help they need to stay out of jail with alternate sentencing options such as drug court, Prop 36, or inpatient treatment.
