If you or a loved one has recently been arrested, you need the best possible legal advice.

I have been practicing criminal law in Southern California for over 30 years, and am one of the leading experts in DUI and general criminal law in the state, having authored multiple textbooks and treatises on DUI law.

I realize that being charged with a crime is a very difficult experience.  Police and Prosecutors use that to their advantage, and Defendants often say too much, or take unfavorable deals in the interest of getting the ordeal over as fast as possible.  Obviously, I will work as quickly as possible to resolve your case, but not at the expense of an unfavorable outcome.  Often times a plea bargain is the best course of action, but there are some cases that should go to trial.  There are often very subtle distinctions between the two, which is why you need the best possible legal advice.

I have tried over 225 DUI cases in my career – the prosecutors know that I am not afraid to take a case to trial.  Often this reputation can be leveraged for a favorable plea bargain, but if your case does have to go to trial, you can take comfort from the fact that I am an experienced trial attorney.

Please call me today about your case, or if you'd like, fill out the form to the right.  I’d be happy to discuss your options with you, and if I turn out not to be the right attorney for you, I’d be happy to refer you.
