Learning about your case

There are two ways to learn more about your case. You can research it and you can ask your attorney. We are here to serve our clients. However, if you want to research yourself, then please use the menu above under services. You will see many of the more common California Penal Code and Vehicle Code sections that we defend in court everyday. 

Every decision our attorney makes starts with asking the question, "What is in my client's best interests?" You are the client, and that would be your attorney doing what serves you best. Whether to negotiate for a dismissal of the charges or to order more discovery and fight with a suppression motion, the end goal is for the best result on your case. We understand that true legal representation is based on serving the individual client. This starts with an in depth conversation about the case with your attorney. We want to know about you and what you want. Our goals become your goals.​
