As a San Francisco criminal defense attorney, I have with passion, dedication, and success, represented those facing prosecution for various crimes from murder to d.u.i. No case should ever be considered too small or inconsequential when one is talking about one’s freedom. Being prosecuted for a criminal offense is something that no one is prepared for, and it can literally turn your life upside down. Facing criminal charges is intimidating to say the least, and without the representation of a successful aggressive criminal lawyer the consequences can be quite severe. The selection of the right criminal defense attorney will likely be one of the most important decisions one will ever make, so it is critical to do your research and choose wisely. See my Case Results.

When you are unfortunate enough to be charged with a crime it can seem like a nightmare without end. Your very freedom, reputation and dignity are on the line, and what you need is an aggressive attorney that is experienced, successful and well regarded in criminal defense. See my Testimonials.

Having established 15 years of a successful criminal defense practice in the city of San Francisco, I proudly showcase my case results as proof positive of my successful representation of my clients’ causes. Equally important are the testimonials of my former clients who attest to the dedication, commitment, and empathy I give to each client.

Whether you have been charged with a crime, or just have been told you are the subject of an investigation, you should immediately contact a San Francisco criminal attorney who has the proven history of experience and success in protecting clients’ rights by discrediting the prosecution’s accusations or mitigating their culpability or punishment.

A Criminal Defense Attorney Whose Top Priority Is The Client

For over 15 years I have based my criminal law practice on putting the client first and doing whatever it takes to achieve the best positive outcome for their cause. When I take on a criminal case my commitment to each and every client is that I will never take the easy way out, I will protect your interests with all my might, and I will never settle your case just to save time or money. When someone retains me to represent them, I am fully aware of the great responsibility that is placed upon me. While just about every attorney will try to convince you they are the right choice for your case, few have the proven record of successful representation to back up that claim. If you visit me in my office and I feel that another attorney is better suited for your case, I will not hesitate to refer you to them while still providing my expert legal opinion in our consultation. While this is not common, your well being comes first because I truly believe that everyone deserves the best possible criminal defense when faced with prosecution.

As a criminal defense attorney, I provide representation to those who are facing prosecution for Federal Crimes, drug crimes, theft crimes, DUI, gun and weapon crimes, white collar crimes, sex crimes and violent crimes like assault, domestic violence and murder. These criminal charges are all serious and require the representation of an experienced and successful criminal defense specialist.

Why You Need An Aggressive Lawyer Representing You

The thing that should be the greatest concern to anyone charged criminally is that the prosecutor can ask for you to serve the maximum punishment for the crime you’re accused of. This is why having a successful, experienced and dedicated defense attorney protecting your rights is absolutely essential. Without someone protecting your rights, you will likely almost certainly be found guilty and you will also likely face harsh sentencing as well.

A knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer will know that a criminal case is won in its preparation before you go to court. I will use my 15 years of experience in the criminal courts to formulate an effective criminal defense strategy to discredit the prosecution’s positions. We will challenge their case against you by filing motions to exclude evidence, interviewing key people in the case, and tapping into my vast resources that include expert witnesses to testify on your behalf.

A Leader In San Francisco Criminal Defense

Often when people think of a criminal defense lawyer they think of a jury trial, and that the primary purpose of legal representation is to be found not guilty. In reality, a large part of what a criminal defense lawyer does is mitigate the punishment that someone receives. When a case should not be taken to trial, a good defense attorney knows how to humanize their client – making them a real human being instead of just a case number on a piece of paper.

As a criminal lawyer, I am relentless and aggressive in my pursuit of my client’s rights. The best defense is an aggressive defense, and this means representing a client by looking at every aspect of the case to see how to effectively minimize damage to the client or eventually acquit the client. On countless occasions the tenacity exhibited in examining discovery evidence over and over and thorough preparation has enabled me to find the solution to help my client win the case. You need an attorney who will, without reservation, tirelessly advocate on your behalf.

I encourage you to use my email address provided at the top of the page if you have any questions, or give my office a call if you require immediate assistance.
