Alameda County Criminal Defense Attorney

I have been a criminal defense attorney in Alameda County, California for the past 20 years. Before that I spent seven years working as a Deputy District Attorney in Alameda County. I understand that being charged with a crime can be an embarrassing and scary time in anyone's life, and I am here to help. If you need an experienced criminal defense attorney, please call me at (510) 582-9090. There is no charge for your initial consultation.

Do I Need an Attorney?

There is no legal obligation for people to hire a lawyer. However, I strongly recommend that anyone charged with a crime speak with a criminal defense attorney. Even in cases when a person does not get jail time, a criminal conviction can have serious implications for employment options, community reputation, and constitutional rights. In some cases, the help of an experienced defense attorney can mean the difference between jail time and alternative sentencing.
