It has been said that the best defense is a good offense. Nothing could be more true. That is why you should hire us as soon as possible. If you are asked to appear to tell your side of the story or to answer questions, call us immediately. Don't be lulled into thinking that this is an innocent request. Law enforcement officers are calling YOU for a reason. They are trained experts in the art of interrogation. They do not ask innocent questions. If you're nervous, and you should be, you won't be at your best. What you say may be misunderstood or misinterpreted and then used against you. Never walk into a situation like that alone. HAVE ME AT YOUR SIDE TO PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS! If you anticipate being arrested, don't wait until the arrest, hire us now. We usually can prevent that arrest.

Once arrested, you have certain rights. You've heard of your "miranda rights" by now. You know that you have the right to be silent. It is usually wise not to waive that right. In other words, be silent. Have your attorney present before discussing your case with law enforcement. In my opinion, Officers tell you about "Miranda" because they have to, not because they are trying to help you.

Our office handles all criminal cases except death penalty cases.

We handle drug offenses, such as possession of a wide variety of controlled substances ("weed", "crack", "hash", "coke", "meth", "ecstasy"), sales, manufacturing, cultivating and trafficking. We also defend those accused of domestic violence, attempted murder, murder, assault, battery, theft offenses, sex offenses and weapon cases and driving under the influence ("DUI") cases. We initiate expungement proceedings for persons who have been convicted of crimes and want to remove the convictions from their record or obtain certificates of rehabilitation. We also represent Parolee's at parole revocation hearings.

We do bail hearings, motions to suppress evidence, probation violation hearings, discovery motions to gather evidence, pitchess motions to investigate the background of arresting officers, subpoena witnesses and documents to help your case when necessary. We are willing to do the work.

We keep you informed. With your permission and provided it does not compromise your case, we update your loved ones.
