Is Your Lawyer a California Bar Certified Specialist?
It is understood throughout the legal community that the quality of your defense lawyer at trial has a huge impact on the outcome of the case. We are the only firm in Riverside and San Bernardino to be certified by the California State Bar in the field of criminal law. Becoming a Board Certified attorney is no easy feat to achieve. It requires continued education in criminal law, extensive experience, ethical conduct, and high scores on a rigorous examination. Board certified lawyers meet a high standard of legal knowledge.
Our years of trial experience and impressive victories prove that we are aggressive defenders who know their way around the criminal justice system, judges and juries.
An understanding of how prosecutors strategize - through personal experience - allows our legal team to stay one step ahead when planning the approach to employ in defending your case. We stand by our clients when the world has turned against them, and in some cases we are the only voice that they have in their fight for freedom. This is our mission and our calling, and we are proud to be of service to those who need it the most.
The criminal justice system is complex, and knowing how to navigate effectively requires extensive knowledge of the law as well as a sound understanding of judicial processes. Having the right team on your side – a team that knows what it takes to get results – can mean the difference between a conviction and your freedom.
