Services
Traffic Ticket Defense
We specialize in challenging traffic citations including speeding, DUI, and license violations. Our attorneys appear in court on your behalf to prevent points on your record and insurance rate increases. With deep knowledge of California Vehicle Code and local court procedures, we employ technical defenses against radar and speedometer accuracy to achieve dismissals.
DUI Defense
Our firm defends against DUI charges through DMV hearing representation and criminal court proceedings. We challenge chemical test accuracy, procedural compliance, and evidence admissibility. Clients receive guidance on restricted license applications and long-term record implications while we work to minimize penalties and preserve driving privileges.
Criminal Defense
We represent clients facing felony and misdemeanor charges including violent crimes, drug offenses, and domestic violence. Our defense strategy includes evidence suppression, witness investigation, and plea negotiation. We serve diverse clients from professionals to juveniles while protecting their future employment and immigration status through comprehensive legal advocacy.
Record Expungement
Our expungement service helps eligible clients clear felony and misdemeanor convictions from their records. We guide clients through California's legal requirements including probation completion verification and court petition preparation. This process enables improved employment opportunities and professional licensing prospects for those meeting statutory criteria.
Commercial Driver Defense
We protect commercial drivers' licenses against violations that carry enhanced penalty points. Our defense covers speeding, logbook violations, and vehicle equipment citations. By preventing license suspensions and record stains, we help professional drivers maintain their livelihoods through targeted traffic court representation and negotiated penalty mitigation.

Questions
When should I hire an attorney for traffic violations?
Hire an attorney for any violation carrying potential points or jail time. Public defenders handle court-appointed cases, but private representation offers personalized defense strategies for better outcomes.
What should I do during a traffic stop?
Pull over safely, keep hands visible, provide documents when requested, and avoid admitting fault. Remain respectful and let your attorney handle legal arguments in court.
Can out-of-state drivers benefit from local representation?
Yes. California participates in the National Driver License Compact, making local representation crucial for out-of-state motorists facing violations that affect home-state records.
Are red light camera tickets defensible?
Yes. Technical defenses exist regarding camera calibration and procedural requirements. Legal challenges can potentially reduce or dismiss these automated enforcement citations.
What are expungement eligibility requirements?
You must complete probation without violations, not serve state prison time, and have no current charges. Certain serious sex offenses remain ineligible under California law.
How do DUI cases affect driving privileges?
DMV hearings must be requested within 10 days of arrest. A successful defense can prevent license suspension, while restricted licenses may become available after 30 days if suspension occurs.
