- If you have been arrested, it is important to consult with an attorney right away. Often, immediate action is needed to protect your rights. I am available for phone or in person consultations. As always, consultations are free!
- A good attorney should explain the legal process, present possible defenses, and provide support as you deal with the effects of a criminal charge on yourself, your family and your finances. Often, my clients tell me they feel a sense of relief once they have hired an attorney.
- Choosing the right attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. An experienced criminal defense attorney will fight for you.

In many instances, you have a constitutional right to allow your attorney to appear in court on your behalf. Generally, your public defender will require you to be in court at every hearing. Being able to avoid appearing in court will allow you to continue to go to work and take care of your family.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE TO APPEAR IN COURT
Since a private attorney generally has a much smaller case load, they can tailor their representation to meet the needs of individual clients. We call our clients after every court appearance, are available to meet in-person, and we will go the extra mile to guide you through this difficult time.
PERSONALIZED SERVICE
Some statistics estimate that California public defenders work over 1500 cases in a single year. Therefore, they may not have the time to properly investigate your case, file the motions that need to be filed, and ensure that their clients constitutional rights are protected.
