When You Hire Me, You Get Me

I handle your case myself, with care, from the first phone call to the last court date. I go to court, review the evidence, and do the research and writing myself. There’s no staff to hand your case off to.

My clients get my direct line, not a number for a receptionist. Text or email is the fastest way to reach me, because I can read them even when I’m in court. I reply as soon as I can, usually within a day.

About me

How I Approach Your Case

First time in trouble?

My goal is to make this a speed bump in the road of your life, not a dead end. A conviction can follow you into job applications, housing, licenses, and immigration, and many cases can end without one. Why a clean record matters

Been in trouble before?

You still deserve a second chance, and I’ll work to get you one. A prior record changes the strategy, but it doesn’t end your options. You’re right to be worried, but the worst isn’t automatic, even when the evidence looks strong.

Straight answers

On our first call, I lead. I ask about you and what happened, then give you my honest read of your case and what I’d expect, then the price, then your questions. By then I’ve usually answered the ones you hadn’t thought to ask yet.

Quick facts

  • Will you take my case? I take most criminal cases, misdemeanor or felony, including DUI, domestic violence, drug charges, theft, hit and run, solicitation, warrants, and juvenile cases. I also clear old records and take civil rights cases against police. If yours isn’t listed, ask me.
  • Where? Most of my cases are in Sacramento County: most misdemeanors at the Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento Superior Courthouse at 500 G Street, and felonies at the Lorenzo Patiño Hall of Justice, 651 I Street. It shares a building with the Main Jail, so most people just call it the jail courthouse. I also take cases in nearby counties, especially criminal cases with a civil rights side.
  • What does it cost? For criminal cases, flat fees, most of them listed on my fees page, so you know the price in writing before you hire me. My DUI fee includes the DMV hearing.
  • Not charged yet? For most investigations, you pay half the expected fee now, and the rest only if charges are filed. What to do before charges are filed
  • Do I have to go to court? In almost every misdemeanor case, I go for you, so you don’t miss work. On a felony, you’ll be in court with me for the main hearings.
  • What about my record afterward? If I handled your case, I typically clear your record at no additional charge once you’re eligible.
  • Memberships. Sacramento County Bar Association (Criminal Law Section), California Attorneys for Criminal Justice, and the Anthony M. Kennedy American Inn of Court.
