Defending Against a Wide Range of Criminal Charges

I have meaningful experience defending clients against a wide range of felony and misdemeanor criminal charges, including (actual cases):

  • Capital murder case: result - jury trial verdict, not guilty
  • Attempted murder (assault and homicide): result - reduced to minor misdemeanor
  • Resisting arrest: result - jury trial verdict not guilty
  • Gang murder case: result - reduced to voluntary manslaughter
  • Gange murder case: result- reduced to assault with a deadly weapon
  • Murder (lover's quarrel): result - jury trial verdict reduced to manslaughter
  • Rape and robbery charge: result - robbery charged dismissed after successful writ filed, rape charge dismissed by DA before trial
  • Drug sales/transportation charges: result - dismissed after successful motion to suppress

Every case is different, and the results of your case will depend upon the facts of your situation. I am dedicated to uncovering the information that strengthens my clients case. I will thoroughly investigate the details of your case by conducting witness interviews and carefully reviewing legal documents. If I believe police violated your constitutional rights, I will file a motion to suppress evidence and attempt to get your charges dropped.

Understanding Immigration Issues

If you are an immigrant and not yet a naturalized citizen, your status in this country can be put in great danger by a criminal conviction. It is extremely important that you hire an attorney that understands the consequences that a criminal conviction can have on your immigration status. An experienced defense attorney can will know the importance of negotiating a resolution that will have the least impact on your immigration status.
