As an experienced Santa Barbara DUI attorney for over 15 years, I am widely recognized as a highly effective advocate in the increasingly complex and technical field of criminal law.

Many people charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) have a difficult time dealing with their criminal charge, often because it is the first crime they have been charged with. A person who is convicted of a DUI can face heavy fees and penalties, loss of driving privileges, and may be sentenced to jail time.

Given that so much is at stake in a DUI case, it is important to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney who has handled many DUI cases, and will guide you through the legal maze of the California criminal justice system and Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).

Contact my firm today if you need strong legal defense against any of the following charges:

• Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (DUI/DWI)
  
  • 1st Offense
  •  Repeat Offenses
• Felony DUI
  • Serious Repeat Offender
  • Accident with serious injury or death
  • DUI Manslaughter
• DUI with a child passenger
• Hit and Run Driving
• Reckless Driving
• Contests of Speed
• Driving on a Suspended License
• Other Traffic Crimes
• Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Hearings
• Suspension/Revocation Hearings
• DUI Conviction
• Chemical Test Refusal
• Medical or Drug Suspension
• Negligent Operator (too many tickets)

The stakes are high in a DUI case, and the sooner you hire a lawyer the more likely you are to achieve a favorable outcome. I have established a remarkable record of success throughout California, and have the experience needed to successfully defend you.

My experience includes:

• I was a Senior Deputy District Attorney in the Ventura County District Attorneys Office.
• I spent nine years as a D.A. and handled well over one thousand criminal cases, including domestic violence, statutory rape, sexual assault, child pornography, drug possession, DUI, prostitution, pimping/pandering, assault and battery, and attempted murder cases.
• I have extensive jury trial experience and have also conducted hundreds of preliminary and sentencing hearings. Only a few attorneys currently in the Ventura County D.A.s Office have more trial experience than I do.
• My success rate as a prosecutor was more than 90%.
• I know the prosecutors in the Ventura County D.A.s office and know how they think and make decisions.
• I know and have a good working relationship with most of the police officers and the Judges in Santa Barbara and Ventura County.

If you are facing DUI charges, your choice of an attorney is one of the most important decisions you can make. You need an experienced, local, trial-tested criminal law attorney who will fight aggressively for your legal rights. I have helped clients throughout California fight their DUI charge, and I can help you, too.
