For 44 years, I have had the privilege of representing good people accused of terrible crimes. I view my client, not just as another case, but as an individual who "wants to be home for dinner;" a father, a mother, a son or daughter, a brother or sister.. My client has a problem and I have the tools to solve it. The prosecution is always well-funded and powerful. A defendant's only hope is that his or her lawyer is smart and tough enough to "level the playing field." I am recognized among those who have worked with me, whether judge or prosecutor as a tough, intelligent criminal litigator.. I have tried federal cases all over the country, from New York to Washington, and all federal districts in California. I have tried cases in state courts all over California and even in Minnesotta. On many occasions, my work at trial has served to reverse convictions illegally obtained.. Of course, no good lawyer can guarantee a result, but I can guarantee that I will devote my time, energy, and superior knowledge to your case.
