Know Your Options When You Are Charged with a Violent Crime in Lake County

Lake County CA Murder Defense Attorney Mendocino County Domestic Violence Offense Lawyer California


Helping You Avoid a Third Strike Conviction

Under California's "three strikes" law, if you have been convicted twice of certain serious crimes, another conviction for any felony crime could land you in jail for 25 years to life.

I may be able to get the DA to dismiss one of the previous strikes or reduce your current charge to a misdemeanor so you won't get a third strike.

Or, your best option will be for me to vigorously defend you in court and seek an acquittal on the third charge.

Contact me for a free consultation with a dedicated, local lawyer.

When you are charged with a violent crime, you face serious consequences. You should get help from a local lawyer who knows the local court system and will give personal attention to your case, not a big law firm based outside the area that takes on a lot of cases throughout the state all at once.

I have helped many Lake County and Mendocino County clients facing serious violent crime charges. In some cases, I am able to get clients acquitted, while in others, I work hard to reduce the charges and/or the consequences of conviction. Contact me for a free consultation to discuss the charges against you and what I can do to help.

Prepared to Deal with Any Criminal Charge, Including Violent Crimes

As a criminal defense attorney, I handle the broad range of violent crime charges my clients face in Lakeport, Ukiah and throughout the region, including:

  • Assault
  • Assaulting a police officer
  • Aggravated assault
  • Domestic violence
  • Gang involvement
  • Gun counts added to violent crimes
  • Manslaughter
  • Vehicular manslaughter
  • Attempted murder
  • Murder

I have a background as a prosecutor and experience taking cases to trial, so whatever charges you face, you can be confident that I will have all the necessary skills to do whatever it takes to seek the best possible results for you.

If you have been charged with a violent crime — especially if you are on your third strike, contact me right away for a free consultation to discuss all of your options.
