DUI Defense
Specialized defense for driving under the influence charges in California and Nevada. Our practice handles blood alcohol concentration cases, drug-related DUIs, and refusal charges. We challenge evidence admissibility, negotiate plea options like 'wet reckless' pleas, and represent clients at DMV hearings to prevent license suspensions. With experience in both states' unique DUI statutes, we protect clients' driving privileges while minimizing criminal penalties.
Drug Offenses
Comprehensive defense for drug-related charges including possession, distribution, and trafficking. We utilize medical marijuana law expertise, challenge unlawful search and seizure procedures, and negotiate diversion programs. Our practice handles both simple possession cases and complex felony drug conspiracy charges across multiple jurisdictions in the Lake Tahoe region.
Domestic Violence
Specialized representation for domestic battery and abuse allegations. We challenge evidence credibility, negotiate alternative sentencing options, and work to prevent permanent restraining orders. Our defense strategy addresses both criminal penalties and collateral consequences like firearm restrictions while maintaining focus on clients' long-term personal and professional interests.
Probation Violations
Representation for probation condition violations and revocation hearings. We develop mitigation strategies, negotiate alternative sentencing, and demonstrate compliance efforts to judges. Our approach focuses on maintaining probation status where possible while minimizing additional penalties through evidence-based advocacy.
Expungements
Legal process assistance for criminal record sealing under California's Proposition 47 and Nevada's expungement statutes. We evaluate eligibility, prepare documentation, and represent clients at court hearings. Our service helps clients overcome employment barriers by legally removing past convictions from public records.
