Practice Areas

DUI and DWI 35%

DUI defense is, in many ways, far more complex that other areas of law. Fighting a DUI case requires a deep understanding of scientific and physiological limitations to prosecution as well as recognizing the way jurors process evidence and testimony.

29 years | 3,500 cases

35%
Criminal Defense 25%

My practice is focused on low-cost DUI, Domestic Violence, Theft/Burglary, Drug Possession/Sales, Assault/Battery, Weapons offenses and all other Misdemeanor and Felony defense matters in Orange, Los Angeles, Riverside & San Bernardino county courts

29 years | 8,000 cases

25%
Drug Crime 20%

At this point, the big issue is whether a prosecutor can prove a Sales-Related case. Whether it is a Search/Seizure violation, a factual issue of Sales being shown or a negotiation of factors that justify leniency in punishment, I may be your guy.

29 years | 1,000 cases

20%
Violent Crime 10%

Domestic Violence matters are obviously the focus of this area of law and properly defending someone in DV or other Assault-type cases requires an understanding of how to present facts to judge, DA and juror in a light most favorable to my client.

29 years | 500 cases

10%
Sex Crime 3%

From Rape cases to Pornography matters, I am highly motivated to help my clients escape potentially harsh treatment that often comes with these types of offenses.

29 years | 40 cases

3%
Cannabis Law 2%

Obviously, the criminal defense aspect of Cannabis Law has been minimized by the ballot initiatives. Still, law enforcement repeatedly bring these cases in certain areas and I am dedicated to fighting for clients AND voters at every opportunity.

29 years | 40 cases

White Collar Crime 2%

Never a high-volume part of my practice but, over the years I have dealt with any number of Embezzlement-type matters for clients in courts throughout Southern California.

29 years | 50 cases

2%
Expungement 1%

This is a low percentage of my practice as many matters are simple enough to handle yourself. However, if you need help getting your record fixed, I can handle it in any courthouse in Southern California.

29 years | 40 cases

1%
Juvenile Law 1%

Another low volume for my office, I have handled several significant juvenile criminal matters and am equipped to deal with any issue in this area of law.

29 years | 10 cases

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 1%

This is the part where I half-jokingly point out that the main reason I handle traffic ticket cases is to make sure that I can get myself out of them.

Goals accomplished

I was looking at this site and saw the negative review from the guy whose case was dismissed and I am surprised that he was complaining about a dismissal. I had Mr. McBride deal with a Felony Assault with a Weapon arrest back in 2010 and I was happy with both the result (no conviction on my record) a...nd the service (he immediately presented my issues to a supervising District Attorney). I would use this office again without hesitation as the fee was a fraction of what other lawyers charged for this. Maybe things changed or maybe the other client really had different expectations than I did but, I don't see how you can complain about a dismissal?
