Individuals convicted of a crime in the State of California, whether by admission of guilt or through the determination of a jury, are subject to, among other penalties, fines, imprisonment, probation and community service. Defending your criminal case in the strongest possible way is critical to both your freedom and your future.

As a skilled Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, I have extensive experience defending the rights of people arrested and accused of criminal offenses. I handle all types of criminal cases, including minor infractions and misdemeanors and the most serious felony indictments, such as drunk driving, drug possession, narcotics sales, theft and grand larceny, white collar fraud, embezzlement, sex offenses, arson, conspiracy, assault, domestic violence, robbery and murder.

I have more than 30 years of experience handling criminal cases in the courts of Encino, California and the surrounding cities and counties of California, providing trusted legal solutions in areas such as:

• Drunk Driving/ DUI
• Drugs and Narcotics Charges
• White Collar Crimes  
• Domestic Violence
• Felony Crimes
• Misdemeanors
• Gun Violations
• Homicide
• Internet Crimes
• Investigations
• Juvenile Matters
• Sex Crimes
• Traffic Offenses
• Expungement Motions

I handle all State, County, and City criminal defense matters. I cover Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County, and travel to other counties in the State when retained to do so. I represent the accused in defense of every type of criminal offense, including murder, rape, robbery, child molesting, terrorist threats, assault, domestic violence, narcotics possession, sales and manufacturing, drug possession, and drunk driving. I also handle white collar crimes, including embezzlement, grand theft, personation, among others. This office also represents juveniles accused of crimes, including juvenile court proceedings.

In addition to defending client's accused of committing a crime, I also represent clients in collateral administrative law proceedings instituted by governmental agencies to take away a client's professional license based upon the same conduct alleged in the criminal law case. In drunk driving cases, this means hearings before the Department of Motor Vehicles to save client's driving privileges. Many times it involves representation of clients before the Medical Licensing Board, the Realty Licensing Board, the Insurance Licensing Board, the Teacher's Licensing Board, the Vehicle Dealership and Sales Licensing Board, and the State Bar which licenses attorneys.

This office makes use of excellent proven private investigation resources, crime scene schematic drafting, forensic alcohol experts, accident reconstruction experts, and any other forensic experts necessary in the representation of the client.

The outcome of any criminal case depends upon several factors: the facts surrounding the charges, the strength of the evidence, the legal validity of law enforcement and courtroom procedures, and the goals and strategy of the government and defense. As an experienced Los Angeles Criminal Defense Attorney, I will navigate you through this complicated legal process.
