ABOUT US

---

Years ago, someone close to me was arrested on felony charges and was facing significant time in custody. It was shocking to experience the legal system before I had any legal experience because it was overwhelming, terrifying and confusing. The attorney for my loved one did not educate us, keep us informed or have any sort of desire to truly defend the case. This stirred something in me and made me want to pursue a career in criminal defense. My loved one was such a good, intelligent and kind soul, who used poor judgment on one occasion which led to the arrest. It made me realize that demonstrating who the client is, in his/her entirety, is vital during the defense of a criminal case. One choice, should never define your entire future.     

Our law office began in 2000 and has focused exclusively on criminal defense for the last 24 years. Our work is in both the federal and state courts, primarily in the Sacramento, California area and surrounding counties. We are dedicated to understanding the results you want and to help you understand what actions we can take on your behalf. We will work with you every step of the way to make sure that you understand the choices you are making and feel empowered to make them.

Success can be measured in many different ways in a criminal case so finding the best result is a comprehensive process. At times, this may be an acquittal after trial, a plea agreement that allows you to maintain your career/professional license, a disposition which allows you to avoid time in custody or a dismissal. There are also options available for post-conviction relief.
