An important quality to look for in a criminal defense lawyer is honesty — someone who will give you a straightforward evaluation without sugar-coating or making promises that are difficult — if not impossible — to keep.
If you have been arrested on burglary (whether residential or commercial, i.e., shoplifting) or other theft charges, it is important to get a case evaluation as soon as possible from an honest and experienced criminal defense attorney who can give you a straightforward opinion of the most likely outcome of your case.
I have been a criminal defense lawyer in San Diego County for almost 20 years, defending clients against misdemeanor and felony charges, including burglary, robbery and theft.
Full-Service Criminal Defense Attorney
My job as your criminal defense lawyer is to explore every possible avenue to build a strong defense on your behalf. I will review the police procedures used during your arrest and any search and seizure — if I am able to uncover violations of your Constitutional rights, then I may be able to argue for dismissal of the case. I will conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding your arrest — looking for information about witnesses that makes them less credible.
My goal in all cases — whether the charges are for burglary, robbery or another theft-related offense — is to prevent a conviction if at all possible, or to minimize the negative consequences that may result from a conviction.

I have been a criminal defense lawyer in San Diego for almost 20 years.
