Martin Baker

Firm: Law Office of Martin Baker
1111 J Street , Modesto , California 95354
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
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.)

Douglas Belyeu

Firm: Scott Mitchell Law Offices
1231 8th St Ste 650 , Modesto , California 95354
Practice Areas: Bankruptcy, Family, Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, Bankruptcy & Debt
I am a late arrival to the field of law. Following High School, I became employed as a baker while attempting to pursue a career in music. I was employed by Costco for over 20 years, and in that time, while keeping my love for music, I also entertained other hobbies. I received a black belt in Shudo-Kan karate from Master Ken Polite of Modesto, CA in 1990, a hobby I thoroughly enjoyed and one that helped me grow personally on many levels. I also became fascinated with guns and firearms related matters, such as ballistics and forensics, which has been helpful in the practice of criminal defense. Prior to attending law school I discovered a fascination with Astronomy through courses at Modesto Junior College with a truly wonderful professor, Dr. William Luebke. To simultaneously preserve a relationship with my wife of 27 years and maintain our family, provide for the household, and complete law school and ultimately pass the Bar exam, required hard work and persistence; these same traits drive me to do my best to become the most competent attorney I can, and to thereby better assist my clients.

No one in Stanislaus County has more experience, or had more success as  criminal defense attorney. I've represented hundreds of individuals charged with every kind of criminal defense. I’ve defended each one aggressively,  passionately, knowledgeably, and with compassion. I've had over a hundred jury trials, and won or hung most. I’ve represented  fourteen clients facing the death penalty and do not have a single client on death row. I’ve challenged and changed California law. (Madrid v. Municipal Court, People v. Dustin).  Now I’d like the opportunity to help you.
