What I Defend

Violent Crimes

Murder, attempted murder, assault, ADW, armed robbery, gang. Strike-eligible felonies with the maximum exposure California law allows.

DUI & Driving

First-time, repeat, felony, DUI with injury or death. Plus the parallel DMV hearing – most attorneys miss the 10-day window.

Strike Priors

Two-strike and three-strike defense. Romero motions and strike removal can change the entire sentencing calculus.

Domestic Violence

Charges, restraining orders, criminal protective orders. Collateral consequences (gun rights, custody, immigration) often outweigh the criminal sentence.

Theft & Property

Burglary, theft, white collar, fraud. Penalties depend on value, force, and prior record. Prop 47 reductions still available.

Drug Crimes

Possession, sales, transportation, manufacturing. Diversion programs and Prop 47 reductions can keep convictions off your record.

Sex Offenses

Rape, lewd acts, sexual battery, registration cases. Pre-charge intervention is often the most important step.

Expungements

Dismissal, sealing, reduction, certificate of rehabilitation. Multiple paths to clean up a criminal record.

Juvenile / Child Abuse

Juvenile court defense, transfer hearings, and child abuse allegations. Coordinated defense across criminal and dependency tracks.
