​

​Located in downtown Fresno, California, we are a firm that represents individuals who are accused of minor to very serious crimes. Criminal defense is not just a job for us, it is an honor: our clients and their families come to us seeking advice and support, often alarmed and confused about the law and what options they may have available.  Many don’t even realize they had options to begin with. 

 

We represent the innocent as well as those who have made mistakes: many people forget that the purpose of the criminal justice system is not simply just to punish: it is also ‘remedial’ in nature, which means to rehabilitate and restore people to normal, successful lives.   

 

Many of our clients are completely innocent of the charges they face, some are culpable of something, but not everything they are accused of, and others may be culpable but desperately need help addressing underlying concerns they have as they seek an opportunity to get back on their feet and on with their lives.  Caring for people who place their trust in us to protect them is the absolute heart of our business.

​

Some of our clients have had their Constitutional rights violated and are shocked at what they feel has been a rush to judgment on the part of law enforcement.  Many believe the events described in the police report are not a complete and fair or accurate account of what actually took place.  And when it happens (which occurs more than most people would care to admit) we aggressively conduct our own investigation to ensure the full story is presented.

​

If you or a loved one needs honest advice, you are always welcome to call us to discuss any case, free of charge at (559) 266-4529.  You’ll find that our lines are open 24/7 and answered by us personally, rather than outsiders, call lines, AI or ‘case managers’ from distant cities.  We’ll discuss your case over the phone, then schedule a meeting for you to come in and see us when needed.  And once we know what kind of case you have, we’ll provide you with a direct and clear quote for the entire case, including any down payment options available to you.  

​

We are NOT some 1-800 number law firm/corporation from a distant city that engages in mass marketing campaigns on social media to maximize business.  Most of our ongoing clients are via word of mouth referrals by prior clients who were happy with our results and trust us to help other family members and friends.  We do not ask for credit card payments over the phone without the client physically meeting us first (attorneys, not staff or 'case managers') unless the client is outside of this area and it's an emergency.  And we regularly refuse to take on cases outside of the Central Valley because our expertise, reputations and connections are attached to the Central Valley.  This is where we do our best work, and have done for over 26 years now.  It's why we don't have to plaster social media in costly ads to solicit business in areas we aren't prepared to handle.  If you have a case in a county we don't cover, we'll refer you to a reputable attorney for free.  But if you have a case locally, give us a call and we'll discuss it with you. 

​

We look forward to hearing from you and protecting you to the fullest extent possible,
