Practice Areas

Record Clearance

Successfully reduced over 300 Felonies to Misdemeanors getting clients released from Prison, off Probation and out of County Jail.

Misdemeanor Judicial Diversion

Recent changes in the law allow the Judge, even over objection of the prosecutor, to divert misdemeanor cases for up to two years.

Drunk Driving (DUI)

You don’t even need to have consumed alcohol to be charged, prescription medication alone or in combination with alcohol can result in a DUI arrest.

Domestic Violence

No type of case is more suitable for pre-filing representation than Domestic Violence cases.

Sex Crimes

I am acutely aware of the seriousness of such charges and the devastating impact they can have on a client’s life.

Alcohol Offenses

Drunk in Public, Minor in Possession of Alcohol, Possession of a Fake ID and Open Container can have serious collateral consequences.

DMV Actions

DMV suspension for medical infirmity, negligent operator points or because you are under the age of 21 and facing a zero tolerance suspension.

Judicial Affairs

I have advised and represented clients under investigation by the Office of Judicial Affairs and understand how stressful the accusation and investigation can be.

Federal Court

The person arrested does not even realize that they are on federal property and will be charged in Federal Court

Juvenile Court

The focus of juvenile court is on the rehabilitation of the child and I view few things in law as more important than limiting the damage a juvenile record can do following someone into their adult life.

Assault Crimes

Even a slight touching if done in anger can be charged as a battery and more serious assault charges can expose a client to state prison for felony conduct.

Mental Health Diversion

If you are charged with a Felony that is due at least in part to a diagnosed mental illness, you may be eligible for Mental Health Diversion for a period of two years.

Penal Code Section 290 Registration Relief

Until two years ago, California was one of only two states requiring lifetime Penal Code Section 290 Registration for any listed sex crime.
