Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice focuses on protecting clients' rights through strategic evidence challenges and procedural expertise. We handle felony and misdemeanor cases involving drug crimes, assault, and sex offenses. With experience in state and federal courts, our attorneys develop tailored defense strategies to minimize penalties or secure dismissals.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI defense includes challenging breathalyzer accuracy, procedural violations, and license suspension hearings. We represent clients facing first-time or repeat DUI charges across Central California, focusing on reducing penalties and preserving driving privileges through DMV administrative hearings.
Appellate Defense
Our appellate practice handles post-conviction reviews in state and federal courts. We identify trial court errors, prepare persuasive legal briefs, and argue cases before appellate panels. This includes challenging improper jury instructions, evidentiary rulings, and sentencing decisions to secure reversals or reduced penalties.
Domestic Violence Defense
We defend against domestic violence allegations by challenging evidence credibility and disproving intent. Our approach addresses both criminal charges and related family court implications, working to prevent conviction records that could affect employment, custody rights, and personal relationships.
Auto Theft Defense
Our defense against auto theft charges examines evidence collection procedures and challenges witness credibility. We handle cases ranging from joyriding to organized theft rings, focusing on disproving intent to permanently deprive owners of vehicles or demonstrating lack of knowledge in possession cases.

Questions
What happens during a DMV administrative hearing after a DUI arrest?
The DMV hearing determines license suspension outcomes independently from criminal court proceedings. We help request hearings within 10 days of arrest to challenge suspension evidence and preserve driving privileges.
Can police search my car without a warrant in California?
Police may search vehicles without warrants under specific circumstances like probable cause or impoundment. However, unauthorized searches could lead to evidence suppression in criminal cases.
What are the penalties for first-time DUI convictions in California?
First-time DUI penalties include fines up to $2,000, 4-6 months license suspension, and mandatory alcohol education programs. Jail time is possible but often avoided for non-injury cases.
How do criminal appeals differ from trial proceedings?
Appeals focus on legal errors rather than new evidence. Our attorneys analyze trial records for procedural mistakes, improper rulings, or constitutional violations that could overturn convictions or reduce sentences.
What constitutes domestic violence under California law?
California defines domestic violence as abuse between family members or cohabitants, including physical harm, threats, and emotional abuse. Convictions carry enhanced penalties and long-term personal consequences.
Can juvenile criminal records be sealed in California?
Juvenile records may be sealed after completing probation or turning 18, depending on offense severity. We assist in navigating the expungement process to minimize future employment and educational barriers.
