Experienced, dedicated, and determined Sacramento DUI attorney.

The Criminal Justice System is often referred to as "Adversarial." This is because regardless of the charges you are facing, you and the government will do battle over one critical item of evidence: Your "Presumption of Innocence." The United States Supreme Court has said that the Presumption of Innocence is "evidence" in favor of the accused, and the government wants to keep that evidence from the Jury. To have a fighting chance, you need someone who knows your adversary.

With nearly 20 years of experience as a lawyer, and as a former supervising deputy district attorney, I know your...
