VISTA DEFENSE ATTORNEY:
TOP SKILL – IMMEDIATE RESPONSE

Vista Criminal Attorney: Available When You Need Me

No matter what the charges, I can help you. As the only attorney in my law firm, I am the only person who will be working on your case. I have a 24/7 answering service and I will always return your calls and address your concerns promptly and courteously because I know when you have a criminal defense emergency, you need to talk to someone as soon as possible.

The Right Defense Lawyer

Many people who are in legal trouble start out by searching online for a “criminal attorney near me.” And while that’s a good way to start, make sure you find the best lawyer for your specific situation by going beyond viewing a few Vista criminal defense attorney websites to find someone actually worth hiring to represent you.

Fighting for Your Best Results

I’m a tough negotiator and successful trial lawyer. Judges and prosecutors respect me because I fight hard to protect my client’s rights and obtain the best optimal result for their situations. My peers in the legal industry rated me an AV-Preeminent attorney by Martindale-Hubbell, meaning I demonstrate the highest level of excellence in legal experience, knowledge, judgment and communication. I also have a perfect 10 rating on AVVO due, in-part to, endorsements from fellow attorneys.

I guarantee the quality of my work and my dedication to seeking the best outcome possible for every client. I have experience fighting all types of criminal charges, including evaluating and presenting the right defenses for each unique situation. If you are a parent or grandparent, you can retain me to defend your child who has been arrested. When we meet, we’ll discuss how I can provide you the strongest possible defense based on your case’s specifics.

I have experience fighting all types of criminal charges and am well-seasoned in evaluating and presenting the right defenses for each of my clients based on their unique situations. When you meet with me, we’ll discuss what happened to you and how I can help ensure you the strongest possible defense based on the specifics of your case.

I Can Help You Every Step of the Way

The criminal process can be intimidating but I can guide you through your entire court case by:

• arguing for reduced bail
• investigating your case to gather evidence on your behalf
• making court motions
• fighting on your behalf in trial or while negotiating a plea bargain
• working to minimize your sentence
• seeking out alternative sentencing options, such as community service, diversion programs or house arrest

If you are facing misdemeanor charges (with the exception of domestic violence), I can represent you as your Vista criminal defense lawyer without you ever having to go to court. You won’t need to miss work or other activities for court dates and can rely on my experience to secure you the best possible results.

My Past Experience as a Criminal Attorney

Over 35 Years Practicing Law

I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley Law School in 1983 and have been practicing law ever since. For 15 years, I served the public through the United Farm Worker’s Union, Legal Aid Society of San Diego and the San Diego County Public Defender’s Office. Since 1987, I have been practicing criminal law exclusively. As a public defender, I tried many murders and a death penalty case, and eventually became the second person in charge in the Vista office as the Assistant Supervising Public Defender.

I believe in America’s criminal justice system and the ideal that every person deserves the chance to fight the charges brought against them. I thoroughly review and edit all of the content in my blog, which has been ranked within the top 50 criminal law blogs on Feedburner for over 3 years.

My Private Practice Offices

I opened my private practice in Vista back in 1998, offering criminal defense services for adults and juveniles. Over my 22 years as a Vista defense lawyer working in a solo practice, I maintained this same office, serving Oceanside, San Marcos, Escondido, Fallbrook, Rancho Bernardo and the rest of North County.

My San Diego criminal law office in Carmel Valley, serves Del Mar, Solana Beach, Mira Mesa and the rest of San Diego County. Many of my clients have been from neighboring counties in Southern California and I even represent many out-of-state clients charged with drunk driving or other crimes in California.
