Services
Criminal Defense
Our criminal defense practice protects clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges in Contra Costa County. We employ strategic defense planning that challenges evidence validity, identifies procedural errors, and negotiates favorable plea agreements. With extensive courtroom experience, we represent clients in trials and sentencing hearings while maintaining strict confidentiality and ethical standards throughout the legal process.
DUI Defense
Specialized DUI defense services challenge breathalyzer accuracy, field sobriety test validity, and arrest procedures. We analyze police reports, blood alcohol calculations, and evidence chain-of-custody issues to build effective defense strategies that minimize penalties or secure charge dismissals for first-time and repeat offenders.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence defense focuses on protecting clients' rights while addressing case-specific circumstances. We challenge evidence credibility, identify false accusations, and develop defense strategies that consider relationship dynamics while maintaining aggressive legal advocacy throughout the court process.
Expungements
Our expungement services help clients clear criminal records through legal petition processes. We evaluate eligibility under California law, prepare necessary documentation, and represent clients in court to remove convictions from public records and improve future opportunities.
Drug Crimes
Drug crime defense challenges search and seizure legality, evidence handling procedures, and charge classifications. We represent clients facing possession, distribution, and trafficking charges while exploring alternative sentencing options like rehabilitation programs under Proposition 47 guidelines.
