Award-Winning Criminal Defense Lawyer
Assault & Battery
In the heat of the moment people do things they later regret. An assault can be a misdemeanor (PC 242) or felony (PC 245) and if a weapon or firearm is used it may be charged as a felony strike that carries life-long consequences [PC 245(a)(1)] .
Domestic Violence
Sometimes the people we love are also the ones we hurt the most, physically and emotionally. If you are charged with a DV misdemeanor [PC 243(e)(1)] or felony [273.5] your freedom, immigration status and parental rights may be at risk.
Drug Charges (Possession, Distribution, or Manufacturing)
Drug offenders make up one of the largest segments of California's prison population. In 2014 California voters passed Prop 47 reducing simple possession charges to misdemeanors (HS 11377, HS 11350) but drug sales.
Theft & Robbery
Whether you are charged with shoplifting (PC 484), petty theft (PC 490.1), grand theft (PC 487), burglary (PC 459) or robbery (PC 211), theft cases carry serious consequences that may affect future employment and immigration status.
White Collar Crime
White Collar crimes may include bank fraud, credit fraud, online fraud, identity theft, check fraud, counterfeiting, healthcare fraud and insurance fraud to name a few. Some white collar crimes are charged as federal offenses that carry hefty mandatory minimum sentences.
