If you've been arrested in Ventura County, here is what matters: the decisions made in the first few days shape everything that follows, and the lawyer making them should know this county's courts cold. That is what I offer. I have practiced criminal defense exclusively in Ventura County for 30 years — more than 20,000 personal appearances in the Ventura County courts, nearly every working day since the 1990s. I grew up here, my office has been in Oxnard for over 20 years, and I know the local judges, prosecutors, and court staff as well as anyone practicing today.
My career began inside the most famous criminal trial in American history: as a law clerk to Judge Lance Ito, I spent nine months on the O.J. Simpson case, researching the admissibility of the DNA evidence at its center. Thirty years later, that is still how I defend cases — by attacking the evidence: the stop, the search, the breath machine, the lab work.
I charge a fair, flat fee, quoted up front before you hire me. And I promise every person who does:
Honesty about your case and what your chances really are
Total access to me, every day of the week — you will have my cell number
Calls answered by me, not staff
Exactly what you were promised, delivered
Full information at every stage of your case
In other words: you are not my "client," you are my "customer."
I handle all criminal matters in Ventura County — DUI, drug charges, theft, domestic violence, assault, serious felonies. On all misdemeanors, I appear in court for you, so you never miss work. And many Ventura County misdemeanors can be resolved through judicial diversion and dismissed with no conviction — it's one of the first things I evaluate in every case.
When you call I will answer the phone myself, and the consultation is free.

Professional and committed to getting you the best outcome
I Was arrested For Public Intoxication. I simply chose to walk home instead of driving home and was stopped due to it being early AM. Upon being released I was worried and confused on how this would effect me and my family. I called several lawyers who acted like my charge didn’t need to be represent...
Another 647(f) drunk in public case dismissed! I always try to handle these aggressively because it's very rare that there will be any breath or blood test to substantiate the conclusion that my client was under the influence.

Knowledgeable yet compassionate about clients situation and future
My situation was extremely serious, due to my checked past. I was basically throwing in the towel concerning my future. I had lost all hope. For some reason I started to go through all the legal solicitations received when arrested . I call a few all to no avail, then Paul called me back. After lis...
Thank you David! Your case is a classic example of how I can help someone even when the charges can be proven. There are always two parts to a case. The first is whether or not you are guilty. If so, then the second part is how can I help minimize your penalty. Many cases come down to minimizing penalties. You did everything I asked you to do and we got a good deal. I wish you the best.

This is a great attorney I really would recomme...
