Virtual Consultation Available
As former Deputy District Attorney, I handle criminal defense matters, including domestic violence. I can anticipate arguments from the defense and victim's perspectives which allows me to provide the most precise case plan because our call of action is clear in an area that involves grey matter where often victims become suspects and vice-versa. Gaslighting is real and we work with you to determine what point-of-view that you should endorse to gain an objective optic to your situation with the mindset of making your life better by restoring it as much as possible to normalcy sooner rather than later. The "before" and "after" charges are filed phases are also critical to our representation. With our pre-file representation, we work with the goal to have charges rejected by the District Attorney's Office. As a former Prosecutor, I know what cases look like when they are charged because that was my job to consider cases for filing. I certainly can help you identify a case that will likely be rejected for filing based upon my training and experience as a former prosecutor. We cannot guarantee results however my team strives tirelessly to achieve this outcome by use of Mitigation. If the District Attorney's Office decides to file criminal charges against you, and we work with you to have the matter dismissed before conviction, if possible by using the Mitigation plan we create for you that is a profound tool to change the course of your case toward the best outcome possible. If your case is not dismissed prior to conviction, we can offer Expungement services. We also handle other matters that involve conflict with the goal of mediating before cases escalate by using cease-and-desist letters. If necessary, we help you file or aggressively defend Civil Harassment Restraining Order matters, Deepfake AI, and more. My practice is driven by a dedication to enforcing my clients' rights from day one. Whether you're navigating complex legal disputes or seeking proactive legal counsel, I offer personalized solutions tailored to your needs, whether enforcing your criminal Constitutional Rights, or those under Marsy’s Law if you are a victim. Trust in my expertise to provide strategic guidance and effective representation throughout your legal journey. Together, we can face the fear of the unknown and prepare a solid foundation for your future.
