What kind of lawyer defends criminals?
I've handled thousands of cases in Southern California. Put my legal experience to work with you. As an Orange County criminal defense lawyer the vast majority of cases resolve on a postive note plea deal. Have your criminal charges reviewed. It's important to know what the prosecutors are planning with your offenses. As a criminal defense lawyer I look at a wide range factors when taking in facts about your case for the purpose of getting an insight. These factors friends who were witness, additional law enforcement officers who didn't happen. Each case is different, has its own circumstances and needs a unique defense strategy. Not everyone needs the services of a criminal defense attorney, not every dui defense ends with an .08 blood alcohol and not every case ends with the police reports, but it is important to make sure your case is reviewed by a criminal lawyer who is familair with the local courts.

My Philosophy on Practice
When everything seems to be falling apart, it's important to have an Attorney on your side when facing the court system. An arrest by a police officer starts a case against you. Regardless of truth, when you are arrested the criminal process is started against you. You must fight your case if you want to avoid the conviction from showing up on your criminal record.
Instead of looking for ways to convict you, you need to have an attorney on your side who look for ways to win your case and provide you with insight. You have the constitution on our side. There are rights entitled to you as an accused. These rights let you bring people into court and put the burden of proof on the state.
Never admit guilt even when you are confronted by a police officer. You have the protection of the constitution. It is up to the state to prove you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. You are entitled to a jury of 12 peers. You also have the right to cross examine your accusers and produce evidence on your own behalf.
When should you hire a criminal defense attorney?
Having a criminal attorney in case can make a world of difference. The criminal justice is funny. You can not listen to the officer's or prosecutors for advice because their job is not to help you out with your dui cases or provide you with a dui defense. In fact, their job is to prosecute on behalf of the state. In addition, you also can not rely on the judge for advice. It is true that they know the law, however they are there as a neutral party. They are not allowed to help and are not allowed to give legal advice. You need an advocate that will help you out along the way and present to you options as the case unfolds.
