Juvenile

In California, minors who are charged with a crime will have their case heard in juvenile court. Although the juvenile court system is designed to be more lenient than the adult court system, juvenile offenses can still lead to serious consequences that may affect the minor for years to come.

DUI

At my law firm, I understand that facing a DUI charge can be overwhelming and confusing. That's why I'm here to help. With effective legal counsel, it may be possible to keep your license and avoid a conviction for DUI. Whether this is your first DUI or not, it's crucial to understand the laws and assert your rights.

Sex Offenses

It is crucial to seek immediate legal representation if you are facing sex offense charges. The laws surrounding these charges are complex and can be difficult to navigate without the help of an experienced attorney. I can help you understand your rights, build a strong defense strategy, and guide you through the legal process.
