We are a Palo Alto firm that includes an AV Peer Review Rated former prosecutor who is a Certified Specialist in Criminal Law with over 30 years of experience defending every kind of case from Domestic Violence to Murder. We also include one of California's foremost experts in handling DUI cases. We limit our practice to criminal defense and the defense of DUI cases.

Domestic violence defense demands hands-on experience in dealing with rapidly changing methods of prosecution and defense. We devote a substantial amount of our practice to the defense of these cases.

Our DUI experience is current, not only for assisting those charged with DUI in the criminal courts, but for assisting the same people with their resulting driver's license problems. Out of state driver's license holders can have particular problems that need an experienced legal practitioner.

Jury trial experience: We also have a substantial background in jury trial presentations, having successfully tried all types of cases from minor misdemeanors through death penalty homicide.

Negotiated settlements: Many cases can be settled without having to go to trial. Our experience has proven that our familiarity with Palo Alto, Redwood City, Sunnyvale, San Jose and the Bay Area Counties has worked to the great benefit of our clients, when it comes to negotiating a settlement of our client's cases.

Our firm serves all of Northern California and the Bay Area with particular emphasis in criminal defense for Palo Alto, Redwood City, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County and Alameda County.
