Felony, DUI, & Violent Crime Defense in Stockton

We represent people accused of felony charges, DUI, violent crimes, sex crimes, gang crimes, homicide, theft, assault, drug crimes, and federal criminal matters. Our past work includes cases involving felony DUI, rape accusations, burglary, domestic violence, robbery, and assault.

The appropriate defense approach depends on the alleged conduct, prior record, witness accounts, video, search or seizure issues, testing procedures, and the stage of the proceedings. We’ve secured dismissals, dropped charges, not-guilty verdicts, and mistrials for past clients, but every case must be evaluated on its own facts.

Criminal Accusations We Can Help With

• Felony allegations: Charges involving potential incarceration and lasting consequences for a person’s record and rights.
• DUI defense: Misdemeanor, felony, multiple, and underage DUI allegations, including breath and blood testing issues.
• Violent-crime allegations: Assault, domestic violence, robbery, homicide, and related accusations.
• Sex, theft & drug crimes: Serious allegations that require careful attention to evidence and procedure.
