As a Certified Criminal Law Specialist and an experienced San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney, I represent people accused of crimes, from misdemeanors to serious felonies. I practice in both state and federal courts.

If you have been accused of a crime the decisions you make now can literally affect the rest of your life. The strength of your defense should be assessed by an attorney who fully understands the unique facts of your case and who knows how the law applies to your circumstances. Only then can you make the critical decisions that will affect your future. I have been helping people make these important decisions for over a decade.

I take seriously my responsibility to obtain the best possible result for you. I have successfully assisted hundreds of people like you to resolve their criminal cases. I have often been able to persuade prosecutors to seek no jail time, or to offer favorable pleas. In many cases, I have convinced juries that my clients were not guilty of the charges leveled against them.

The outcome of any criminal case depends upon the facts surrounding the crime charged, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedure, and the goals and strategy of the government and defense. As a skilled San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney, I will navigate you through this complicated legal process, in any of these practice areas: 

• Murder
• Shaken Baby Syndrome
• Homicide
• Manslaughter
• Assault and Battery
• Robbery
• Sexual Offenses
• Domestic Violence
• Drug Offenses

Trust Your Lawyer He Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police:
If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust. Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway. The U.S. Supreme Court allows police, federal agents and criminal investigators to trick, lie and deceive during the course of their investigations to get the information they want.

If you are being investigated for a federal crime or other serious charge, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough.You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights!
