About Boris
Biography
Boris Bindman began his career in criminal defense at the Solano County Public Defender's Office after graduating with honors from Washington and Lee School of Law and UCLA. Mr. Bindman sharpened his skills through exposure to a vast and varied caseload as a Deputy Public Defender for Lassen County and later as an associate at the Maas Law Offices before founding The Law Offices of Boris Bindman. Mr. Bindman's defense experience ranges from petty offenses to violent crimes, including Domestic Violence, Driving Under the Influence & Reckless Driving, Resisting Arrest & Reckless Evading, Vandalism, Assault & Battery, Mayhem, Murder, Vehicular Manslaughter, Assault & Battery with a Deadly Weapon, Battery on a Spouse or Intimate Partner, Child Cruelty, Restraining Order Violations, Sexual Assault & Sexual Battery, Criminal Threats, Robbery, Burglary, Drug Possession and Possession for Sale, Marijuana Cultivation & Transportation, Fish and Game Violations, Gun & Firearm Offenses, Identity Theft, Forgery, and Embezzlement.
Mr. Bindman's extensive experience includes representing juvenile and adult clients in Pretrial Proceedings, Jury Trials, Court Trials, Administrative Hearings, Plea Bargaining, Motions to Suppress, Motions to Dismiss, Motions to Quash a Warrant, Sentencing Hearings, Probation Violation Hearings, Appeals, Writs, and Post-Conviction Relief & Expungements (Sealing Arrest(s), Dismissing Past Convictions, Reducing Felonies to Misdemeanors, Certificates of Rehabilitation & Pardons).
Boris has devoted himself to a career in criminal defense and fighting for the rights of the accused—a passion emanating from being erroneously arrested at age thirteen due to a witness misidentification. Being intimately aware of the kind of stress and fear a criminal accusation causes in one's life, Boris isn't afraid to stand up for his clients and fight with integrity to vindicate their rights.
The Law Offices of Boris Bindman is proud to represent clients in federal and state courts throughout the Greater Bay Area, including San Francisco County, Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Solano County, Napa County, San Mateo County, Marin County, and Santa Clara County.
