San Luis Obispo Criminal Defense Attorney
Jere Sullivan

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.

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  I will navigate you through this complicated legal process.

As an experienced San Luis Obispo Criminal Defense Attorney since 1986, I have represented thousands of individuals in the courts of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and surrounding cities and counties, 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 
  • Terrorist Threats
  • Landlord Evictions
Protecting Your Driver’s License When You Are Arrested for Drunk Driving:
I have represented thousands of individuals accused of Driving Under the Influence, and have also handled the administrative hearings with the DMV that result from action to suspend the driving privilege of our clients. For several years, I have worked with Ronald A. Jackson, who is recognized as one of the premier DUI defense lawyers in the state of California (Mr. Jackson is available for consultation and retention in unusual cases). I have excellent investigation resources, forensic alcohol experts, accident reconstruction experts, and any other forensic experts necessary to fully represent clients.

To protect your legal rights, call me as soon as possible after your DUI arrest. Unless you take immediate action, when you are arrested for DUI in California, the DMV will suspend your driver's license for a period ranging from four months to three years, depending on prior offenses and other aggravating facts. The Temporary License that is issued in place of your real Driver's License (at the time of your release from jail) has a hidden time bomb: YOU MUST CONTACT THE DMV WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST TO REQUEST A HEARING TO CONTEST THE SUSPENSION OF YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE.  If you make a timely request for an administrative hearing, the suspension of your license will be stayed pending the final determination of your case by the DMV.  You also have the right to appeal a DMV Hearing Officer’s decision against you to a judge.

Trust Your Lawyer– I Will Be the One Representing You, Not the Police:
If you have been arrested, or if you are stopped by the police for questioning, remember that your lawyer is the person you should trust.  Law enforcement investigators are specifically trained to get people who don't want to talk to them to open up and talk with them anyway. The U.S. Supreme Court allows police, federal agents and criminal investigators to trick, lie and deceive during the course of their investigations to get the information they want.

If you are being investigated for a federal crime or other serious charge, do not answer any questions the officers, detectives or federal agents ask. You should politely, but firmly, tell them that you will need to retain an attorney before you can speak with them. Do not answer their questions. This cannot be stressed enough. You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney – use those rights!
