PRACTICE AREAS
Civil Rights
Police and government misconduct comes in many forms. It can be outright excessive force, false arrest or perjury at the courthouse. It includes abuse and corruption and it happens whenever cops or government officials victimize the very people they are supposed to serve and protect. Many of our California police officers and government workers do their job honorably, but unfortunately there are those among them who feel entitled to commit crimes/violation without fear of repurcussions. They are responsible for their misconduct when it occurs.
Police/Government Misconduct
Criminal Defense
Protecting all your rights
Mistakes in your criminal case can cost you your civil rights action. Criminal defendants may have valuable civil claims. If your criminal defense attorney does not understand the interply between criminal defense and civil rights law, this can be a costly mistake and bar or cripple your civil case. Because we handle both criminal defense and civil litigation (state and federal), we understand how to protect your civil rights while defending you in the criminal case. Many attorneys do not have the perspective or knowledge of how one relates or impacts the other.

Civil Litigation
Personal Injury, Wrongful Death
When you are injured in an accident you have two choices: you can rely on an insurance company to provide you with a settlement or you can call an injury attorney and take legal action. Before you make this choice it is important to remember that insurance companies serve their own best interests and are dedicated to increasing their profits. An injury attorney, on the other hand, will serve your best interests and be fully committed to getting you every penny you are due.
