Making the State Meet Its Burden of Proof
As far as we are concerned, every minute our clients spend in jail is one minute too long.
Our lawyers will do everything they possibly can to help you avoid jail time or, when that's not possible — to get gang-related criminal charges and sentence enhancements taken off the table.
In practical terms, this means taking a long, hard look at the facts, at the witness testimony and evidence the state plans to use against you and at every potentially viable defense — and then challenging the state to meet its burden of proof at every available opportunity. This dedication has resulted in countless dismissals and has allowed us to achieve a 95 percent success rate in criminal trials.
