You need help. Don't wait until it's too late. Let me help you get a great result on your case!
Practice areas
I only handle criminal defense cases. From DUI to drugs, simple battery to homicide, and every other type of case in between. I am a criminal trial attorney with about 160+ jury trials completed as of January 2021.
28 years, 3,000 cases
Ventura and Santa Barbara DUI defense for first time, and no record clients, to felony DUI crashes involving death and serious bodily injury clients. I also have extensive experience with both drug and alcohol DUI cases.
28 years, 20,000 cases
Drug sales and possession for sales of heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl. THC sales cases are almost entirely gone now with recent changes in the law. I have also helped hundreds of clients find go treatment programs.
28 years, 5,000 cases
One of the worst crimes to be accused of whether the client is guilty or falsely accused. Many cases end up in trial and experience is essential. Don't talk to the cops without me by your side.
21 years, 800 cases
Whether domestic violence or stranger on stranger violence, I have handled most types of violent cases. The penalties get substantial. I help with gangs, guns, and robberies also.
27 years, 300 cases
I can help you get your record cleaned up after you are finished with the "live" part of the court case. Not every case can be expunged, but we can talk about your case and the charges that you want to expunge.
14 years, 100 cases

I've known David for several years, and worked with him in Inns of Court. I can't think of a better way to put it than this--David is one of the first people I would call if I or a family member were charged with a serious crime.
