Practice Areas: Criminal Defense

I have always been dedicated to criminal defense.  I have represented numerous people through the criminal justice system who were accused of offenses including catalytic converter theft, domestic violence, torture, police shootings, robbery, narcotics trafficking, and homicide.  I have dedicated myself to studying the intricacies of California's STEP ACT and gang crimes.  I have worked with some of the state's top experts in gang and organized crime allegations.. In addition to membership in the California State Bar and the California State Bar Criminal Law section, I am also a member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, the Beverly Hills Bar Association, the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and the California Public Defender's Association.. I studied both political science and psychology at Clark University in Worcester, Massachusetts and later at the University of San Diego, where I received by Bachelor of Arts degree.  I focused my studies on argument, story-telling, cognitive psychology (which includes the study of unreliability of eye-witness testimony, the fallacies of light-bulb memories, the intricacies of memory, and perception.). I conducted the same independent research at Clark University, a private liberal arts college in Massachusetts, and at the University of San Diego, a Catholic University in San Diego, California, on jury behavior.  Specifically, I studied the effect of race when jurors are deciding whether or not to impose the death penalty for felony murder.  I studied the intricacies of DNA, civil rights, and philosophies behind race and society.. At McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, California, I focused on criminal law and graduated with a certificate in Criminal Law in May 2010.  After interning with the Stanislaus County Public Defender's Office in my first year of law school, I became a certified law student and was able to take cases to trial.  I interned at the Federal Public Defender for the Eastern District of California (2008-2009), the Stanislaus County Public Defender (2008-2010), the San Joaquin Public  Defender (2009) and ultimately did my post-bar internship at the San Diego County Public Defender (2010).

Throughout my time in law school in addition to working a full time job I raised two boys with my beautiful wife Robyn.  Although it was challenging they made the necessary sacrifices for me to complete that journey culminating in me graduating and taking the California State Bar Exam that July. Their love and support carried me through to passing the bar as well.. Since then I have practiced in the area of criminal law as a prosecutor and defense attorny and have gained valuable experience in communicating with prosecutors, judges and especially clients.  Even while a prosecutor and representing the People I made sure I treated defendants with respect and dignity as fellow human beings.  As a crminal defense attorney I make sure each client knows that their case is equally important as the next. I feel that it is important for an attorney to convey that to a client because while we may see scores of similar cases the client may be going through the process for the first time.  I tiell them that it's my job to show prosecutors that these are people behind the case files with careers, families or on their way to obtaining those things and to keep that in mind.  I have recently expanded my experience into the area of Family Law but the goal is the same:  giving a client the best of my knowledge and skill as an attorney.. Ultimately the feeling of getting a client the best possible out come for their case and helping getting their lives back on track is immensely gratifying.
