Traffic Violations / Speeding Tickets
Driving through the hills and cities of Northern California is breathtaking; however, a vacation or trip to town can quickly be ruined if you are pulled over for a traffic violation.

Record Expungement
Have you run into a problem or restriction because of a past arrest and criminal charge, even though you were never convicted? This has become much more common in the Internet age, with extensive background-checking much more accessible for employers and others across the spectrum of society.

Appeals
Persons accused or convicted of a crime often feel overwhelmed, frustrated and helpless. However, judges and prosecutors can make mistakes. Even the defendant’s own attorney may not provide competent and effective representation. When you have lost a trial or been convicted of a crime, it is not necessarily the final determination of your guilt. In order for a case to be appealed you must establish that a legal or procedural error affected the…
Assault
An assault is an act, a verbal threat or physical gesture that suggests an attack is imminent to another person. An assault is also the attempted striking, beating, or other use of violent force against someone else. The actual striking or attacking itself is called a battery. People who commit assault or battery may or may not use a weapon to physically hurt their victims. Assault charges are usually the result of very frightening and highly emotionally charged people and situations…

Having this conviction on your criminal record will not make things easy for you should you have another police encounter in the future. While the consequences may not seem …
Burglary
People have a need to feel safe, whether that safety protects their home, office, or their own bodies. Public policy demands that this safety issue remains a high priority, as the ability to function in society depends on people’s ability to assume that they’ll be able to manage their routines without any undue risk or danger. Robbery and burglary are considered violent crimes, even in cases where an empty home is entered. These are also crimes in which the victim can appear…

Gang Related Crimes

It is not uncommon for someone who is being charged with a crime to be accused of being a gang member when in actuality they are not. A juvenile crime may be any crime committed by a minor. Because the defendant is a legal minor under the age of 18, it’s commonly thought that a juvenile who has committed a crime will get…
