As an experienced criminal defense attorney, I understand the stress that a criminal or DUI arrest can have on an individual. This website has been created to educate persons facing the difficult task of planning a successful defense without causing undue fear and anxiety.  Often, persons arrested for DUI may feel like all is lost – but a qualified DUI specialist can determine what defenses are available. This is not the time to panic. I welcome you to read my website or call me for a free consultation today at  (800) 763-7171.

I concentrate my practice on criminal and DUI defense and limit my geographical focus to San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Sonoma, Marin, Napa, and Solano Counties. Whereever I can drive within about an hour and a half. Because I have spent the past 18 years focusing on criminal and DUI defense I am familiar with the local court procedures or I find out and plan your defense. 

More importantly, I personally represent all my clients in court. Clients often hire a senior partner of a law firm as their attorney, based on education and reputation. However once it comes time to appear in court the partner you hired sends a junior associate to defend you. This will never happen at my firm, period.

The other big difference between my practice and my competitors is location. In early 2010, I realized that technology has made “bricks and mortar” offices obsolete. I began working remotely and now meet with clients by phone, web conference, and at various satellite offices around the San Francisco Bay Area. I also handle a large amount of visitors who were arrested for DUI while visiting the Bay Area. This has worked out extremely well for my clients, and has allowed me to reduce the fees I charge to defend DUI arrest.

When you need information on your case, or just a status update, you can call my firm and speak with either myself or my paralegal. You will be provided with you case status quickly and efficiently. 

Here is what sets me apart from my peers in the DUI defense industry:

• I have been a member of the California DUI Lawyers Association for 17 years. In 1998, I was elected by my peers to the Board of Directors and have been honored with reelection to the Board since that time. In 2006, I also became the CDLA Executive Director. I currently remain active in both positions. 
• The California DUI Lawyers Association focuses exclusively on California DUI Law. While there are some national DUI defense groups, their focus is on national issues. I believe by focusing on California DUI issues I can prepare a more vigorous defense for my clients.
• I am a past co-author of “California Drunk Driving Law,” considered one of the leading DUI defense publications in California.
• Numerous attorneys have come forward to update and edit California Drunk Driving Law, originally authored by attorney Ed Kuwatch in the mid 1980’s. I was honored to be a protégé of Ed’s and enjoyed my time carrying on his work. My knowledge of California DUI law has been well recognized by leaders in the DUI defense industry. 
• I am not afraid to fight for my clients, and I have the record to prove it.
• In 1999, I defended a group of fire victims in a civil suit against the building owner. As part of my investigation I interviewed the arsonist in prison, which turned out to be a mistake. I was ultimately punished by the State Bar and received a $400,000.00 settlement from the building owner on behalf of my clients.

When you hire me as your attorney, you will have every confidence that mounting a rigorous defense is my utmost priority. I am not afraid to fight for your rights. Call me now at (415) 203-4350 to discuss your situation; I am always available to meet by phone or conference evenings and weekends.

Unlike most other attorneys, I have personal experience fighting a case all the way to the California Supreme Court. I know how to fight cases when necessary because I've actually taken many cases to judges for dismissal and to jury trial. I've even had appeals won and even better outcomes for clients later.
