Criminal Defense
The State is powerful when prosecuting an individual charged with a criminal act. Your property and your freedom can be at risk. A strong defense together with knowledge of all available options for resolving criminal charges can help you on your way. For a year I served as the only public defender in a small rural county in Missouri. After that time, I contracted to provided criminal defense services in seven other rural Missouri counties for about two years. Southern California is not Missouri. The laws are different and the courts are different. But there are many similarities. I find criminal defense work interesting, from initial meeting to the jury verdict at trial. Please see my Criminal Defense page.
If you or a loved one has been arrested or charged with a crime, perhaps, I can help. The first rule is to not talk to the police or others about your case. You'll first want to speak with an attorney to learn your rights and the risks of talking to the police without legal representation with you. You have the right to remain silent. In California, you have a right to an attorney in misdemeanor and felony cases. If you cannot afford an attorney, the court will appoint an attorney to represent you.
