When you hire a lawyer, you are betting your future on their experience. Here is what you are getting when you hire Michael Rooney.

He has won over 95 percent of contested trials across Northern California. In his very first year as a criminal defense attorney, he had every single criminal case dismissed before it reached trial. He was awarded Criminal Defense Attorney of the Year three years in a row, from 2004 to 2006, and compiled the best attorney jury trial record in Amador County in 2000.

He has been on both sides of the system. As Chief Public Defender in Amador County, he fought for defendants who could not afford private counsel. As District Attorney staff, he handled criminal and felony motions in the California Superior Court. For two years he ran the District Attorney Asset Forfeiture Program and never lost a case. As Chief Probation Officer, he made sentencing recommendations to Superior Courts in two counties. He knows how prosecutors think, how judges evaluate cases, and where the pressure points are, because he has sat at every table in that room.

He has defended clients in cases involving DUI, drug possession and sales, domestic violence, violation of probation, resisting arrest, gang association, rape, carjacking, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, and armed home invasion. He has handled methamphetamine laboratory cases and complex felony domestic violence matters that required appointment by the court.

That depth of experience is what you are hiring. Not a firm that will hand your case to a junior associate. Not someone who settles because it is easier. A lawyer who has done this for 30 years in these exact courts, knows what winning looks like, and will prepare your case to get there.
