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

Misdemeanor Diversion

Recent changes in the law allow the Judge, even over objection of the prosecutor, to divert misdemeanor cases for up to two years.  This means that without pleading guilty or otherwise admitting guilt, the client is diverted out of prosecution and the case ultimately dismissed with no finding of guilt or plea of no contest.
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.  Exceptions include domestic violence charges and sex cases requiring Penal Code Section 290 registration.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
