Marshall Hammons has a proven track record of success in misdemeanor and felony cases. He prides himself in working on some of the most difficult cases and projects with a client-centered approach. In addition to the numerous clients he has achieve favorable results in, Marshall has successfully argued a motion to dismiss on a life case resulting in a dismissal of the charges and enhancements making it a life case, suppressed evidence resulting in dismissals, and has been able to argue for release from jail over vehement objection by the prosecution on several occasions. Marshall also has achieved diversion in numerous cases, ranging from domestic violence cases, DUIs, and theft cases, ultimately resulting in dismissals. As the firm’s lead “post-conviction” attorney, he also has been able to get countless probations ended early, reduced felonies to misdemeanors, expunged records, sealed arrests, even vacated pleas due to immigration issues, and has removed clients from their duty to register under Penal Code 290.. He graduated cum laude from U.C. Hastings College of the Law, and holds a B.A. English and a B.S. in Political Science from Santa Clara University.. Before starting at the Silver Law Firm, Marshall was an integral part of Curtis Briggs’ and J. Tony Serra’s pro bono representation of California’s longest serving Death Row inmate. As an unparalleled example of police, prosecutor, and other misconduct, Marshall learned first hand how the system will stop at nothing to win, and how important it is to have a team that will fight your case.. Marshall previously interned at the San Francisco Department of Police Accountability, where he learned the intricacies of police procedure, revamped several community-building and outreach programs, and analyzed the best practices of other civilian oversight agencies.. In his final year of law school, Marshall interned at the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office where he aided in the representation of numerous felony and misdemeanor cases and trials. Marshall also helped develop the office’s response to police misconduct by scrutinizing the changes brought by S.B. 1421 and outlining the weaknesses of the officer discipline process. As an intern for the nearly-created “Integrity Unit,” Marshall also assisted in a post-conviction felony murder resentencing that resulted in a Life Sentence reduced to 7 years and subsequent release.. With his proven track record of success, care and dedication to his clients, and passion for fighting the injustices in the criminal legal system, he will stop at nothing to get the best result possible.

After graduating from the University of Miami School of Law in 1994, I began my legal career as an Assistant Public Defender for Miami-Dade county where I represented people accused of all levels of crimes from misdemeanor to serious felonies.. In the 20 years that I have been an attorney, I have tried over 50 jury trials to verdict and have won nearly all of them.. I have dedicated my career to protecting people from the power of the Government.  Without criminal defense attorneys to protect you from the often overreaching power of the police and district attorneys, your legal rights could be trampled on.. I am committed to my clients with a passion for justice.  I am here to help you navigate the dangerous waters of the court system and to help get you through your case.  I'm available 24/7, including weekends.
