Criminal charges and major car or other auto accidents can be traumatic experiences. When dealing with these problems, you want personal attention from a local attorney.
That is where I come in. I help clients in Lakeport, Ukiah and throughout the region with criminal charges and personal injuries. Contact me for a free consultation about your case and how I can help.
Prepared to Vigorously Defend Criminal Defendants
Every criminal case is different. Sometimes, you have little chance of being acquitted, so the focus is on avoiding jail time and minimizing the other consequences. In other cases, it is possible to seek an acquittal, which can involve performing an independent investigation. I am fully prepared for either scenario, as shown by my past results.
No matter what anyone tells you, you should never speak directly to the police or prosecutor about your case. This will not help you or clear up the charges against you.
I defend clients against a broad range of criminal charges. As a criminal law attorney, I focus on major charges that require in-depth personal attention. Among the charges I can defend you against are:
- Theft, including burglary, robbery, fraud, embezzlement, receiving stolen property and auto theft
- Drug crimes, including possession, transportation, manufacturing and conspiracy
- Drunk driving (DUI)
- Firearms cases, such as possession of an illegal weapon or felon in possession of a gun
- Sex crimes, including rape, sexual assault and child pornography
- Making criminal or terroristic threats
- Evading arrest, resisting arrest and assault of a police officer
- Violent crimes, including assault, domestic violence, manslaughter and murder
I have prosecution experience, so I understand how the prosecutor makes charging decisions and what sort of evidence is required for them to prove their cases. I will work hard to get you the best possible result under the facts of your case.
An Advocate for People with Serious Injuries
If you have been injured in a car accident or other accident due to another party's negligence, or if you have lost a loved one in an accident, there is no way to completely make your pain disappear, but there are often ways to get compensation for specific expenses and burdens. I represent people who have been hurt in car, truck, boat or slip-and-fall accidents or who have been bitten by dogs or other domestic animals.
I have worked at a law firm that does insurance defense, so I know how the insurance companies make decisions and what evidence they need in order to provide you with the just compensation you deserve.
If you are dealing with criminal charges or need compensation for an injury in Lake County or Mendocino County, contact me for a free consultation with a local lawyer.
