DUI
We know DUI charges can be frightening. Our staff will work diligently to have charges dismissed when possible, or to limit the penalties from your case.

We are experienced in defending a number of alcohol and drug related driving offenses, including:
- DUI / DWI Link to DUI Page
- Minor in Possession or MIP
- Boating DUI
- Off-road DUI
- Vehicular manslaughter
Drug Crimes
Convictions for drug charges can carry long-lasting effects. In addition to potential jail time and fines, future job or loan applications may require disclosure of your criminal record, including convictions for any drug charges. Our work is focused on having charges dismissed entirely when possible, or reducing penalties from such charges.
Violent Crimes
We offer experienced representation for defendants charged with violent crimes; we have defended individuals charged with assault, including assault with a deadly weapon and felony assault. In addition, we defend against battery charges and homicide.
We also represent defendants charged with domestic violence, which can come in many forms, including allegations of criminal threats, elder abuse, and assault and battery. A conviction may carry serious effects, such as limiting your ability to own a gun or your parenting time. We will diligently protect your rights in domestic violence cases.
Property Crimes
Our firm will mount a strong defense against property crime charges, including:
- Burglary
- Robbery
- Theft
- White collar crimes
- Receiving stolen property
Although every burglary defense case is different, we have successfully defended clients against charges as varied as weapons offenses, strike crimes and public intoxication.
Sex Crimes
You deserve aggressive defense against serious sex crime charges such as sexual assault, possession and distribution of child pornography, and child molestation. If you are being charged with or investigated for sex crimes, it is important that you speak to an experienced rape defense attorney as soon as possible after a rape charge. We will safeguard your rights and move to minimize or reduce charges.
Student Crimes
We have defended many Cal Poly college students against serious student crime charges, including DUI and drug possession, underage drinking (Minor in Possession or MIP), and sexual assault, and work hard to help them stay in college. We work with students and their families to provide experienced, aggressive criminal defense. We also help clients pursue expungement to protect their futures. Expungement dismisses your conviction and removes it from public record, leaving your criminal record clear.
