I grew up in Orange County and I have always practiced law in Orange County. You need a local who knows the courts. I fight for my clients to get the best results.Orange County is a tough jurisdiction. The District Attorney and Judges are re-elected by assuring the public that they will be tough on crime. You need me to navigate through the political bluster to the resolution you need.
I live in Orange County and I grew up in Orange County. My practice has been here my entire career.

I practice criminal defense in Orange County. Gene knows the county's court system inside and out, and is a colleague I regularly turn to for advice. He is knowledgeable, professional and kind.

I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Godwin is a very impressive attorney. I am always amazed by his depth of knowledge of the law, criminal procedures, as well as rules of court. He knows the judges, prosecutors, court staff, and fellow attorneys, and he is well respected. Mr. Godwin is very charismatic and very articulate. He has a very noticeable and commanding presence, and he gets great results for his clients. He is also an expert in conducting hearings before the California Department of Motor Vehicles. I had the privilege of witnessing a few of his hearings before the Department of Motor Vehicles, and I found him to be very knowledgeable, insightful, creative and persuasive in his presentation of evidence and arguments before the Department of Motor Vehicles. I am very grateful to him for sharing his knowledge and skills with me.
