My wife and I started our family when we were very young, having my first child at age 19. While working full time and raising a family I attended college and law school. I was the underdog and was able to persevere. I studied hard and passed the California Bar on the first attempt. Many do pass on their first attempt – but not while raising children and working full time.. My point is that I take my life skills and use them in my law practice. I fight for every client like I was fighting for myself. My life experience puts me in a position to relate to jurors and tell your side of the story to them.. There is no gimmicks here – just a dedicated fighter not afraid of the jury or opposing counsel.

I have represented people accused of sleeping in bushes, people accused of killing multiple victims, and people accused of doing pretty much everything in between.. Many of my clients have been acquitted at trial, had their cases dismissed, or had their charges drastically reduced.  Mostly because I have been able to use my considerable experience and skills to successfully counter the prosecution's case by challenging the sufficiency of the evidence, by exposing police misconduct, or by identifying procedural errors.  And sometimes just because.. I am very good -- in fact I would like to say that I am the best, but I will never promise you that I will get your charges dismissed or that I will get you a not guilty verdict at trial.  I will not even promise that "I will always fight for you" -- every case is different, and sometimes diplomacy and negotiation gets a better result than "fighting.". I will only ever make you one promise:  If you have been accused of a criminal offense, I will do everything I possibly can to make sure that you are treated fairly.. Beware the lawyer who promises anything more.. (Please feel free to Google me.  If you don't get too distracted by reports of my unusual hobbies or the details of certain notorious cases, you might come across one or two published articles that I have written on the subject of California's very harsh gang enhancement laws.  Not only do clients accused of gang-related offenses seek me out because of my special knowledge and experience in that very difficult area of law, but other criminal defense lawyers frequently seek my assistance in complex gang cases.  In other words; if it's a tough case, and especially if it's a gang case, I'm your man.)

Fighting for justice as a criminal defense attorney is a cause that is dear to my heart. Three decades ago, at the age of 19, I made the mistake of selling LSD to an undercover officer and ended up serving two and a half years in New York State Prison. This was an ordeal that I will never forget and I will also never forget what it was like to have my life in the hands of a lawyer who didn’t seem to really care about me or my concerns. Many years later, I decided to become a lawyer to provide people with the kind of legal representation that they really deserve, the kind that I didn’t get when I really needed it.. In my view, being a criminal defense attorney should not just be a way to make a living, but should be a way to really serve people that need help during a very challenging time in their lives. I fight every case as if it were my own freedom at stake, not settling for anything less than the very best possible outcome for my clients, who have put their trust in me. I believe in my heart that people are worth fighting for and that the way the criminal justice system punishes people usually does more harm than good.. One of the most important things that I practice is staying in good communication with my clients and fully explaining to them everything that’s happening with their case. I will always return your calls and keep you in the loop so that you know exactly what I’m doing for you and where your case is headed.. I am committed to investigating every defense available to my clients and seeking to get their cases dismissed in any way possible. I am eager to win cases outright, rather than having my clients plead guilty when it’s not necessary. Often there are ways to be creative with a case and wind up with a victory. Only when there are no other alternatives and it is truly in your best interest should you plead guilty to a criminal offense.. I have had great success winning cases and getting my clients the outcomes they want. I have gotten many cases dismissed, won dozens of jury trials, and gotten convictions overturned on appeal. My clients often tell me how glad they are to have found a lawyer like me. This is something I take great pride in. I hope that whoever is reading this never needs my services, but if you do, it is my goal to do everything in my power to get you the best results possible in your case.
