Bio: I have been a criminal defense lawyer in Southern California for over 20 years. I have spent my entire career defending people accused of crimes by the government. I have seen how heavily the deck is stacked against the defendant in a criminal case. The law presumes that the accused is innocent. Police officers and prosecutors do not. If you are charged in a criminal case, it is because prosecutors and the police have already made up their minds that you are guilty. The resources that they will amass to ensure your conviction may seem overwhelming. Having an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side is essential to protecting your rights and freedom.
