Criminal Defense

The majority of my legal practice is devoted to criminal defense work. I have worked as a criminal defense lawyer in San Diego County since 1989. I provide an aggressive defense of my clients' rights and freedoms. At the same time, I am known for giving my clients honest assessments and frank advice about the most likely outcome of their case. I handle misdemeanor and felony cases, including:

I also handle the necessary petitions and paperwork for sealing a criminal record (also known as expungement).

Police Misconduct Cases

I represent victims of police misconduct, particularly false arrest and the use of excessive force resulting in injuries. Police misconduct cases are complex and difficult to prosecute. I encourage my clients to learn as much as they can about what makes a successful police misconduct case before coming to see me.

Business Litigation

I have more than 20 years' experience representing small business owners in resolving with customers, vendors, partners, and employees.
