Experience That Counts

I possess the demonstrated experience to capably defend clients facing murder charges in California. In more than 30 years as a criminal defense attorney, I have represented numerous defendants facing homicide or murder charges at trial and in plea negotiations. As a solo practitioner, I can assure you that I will personally handle every aspect of your criminal defense case and vigorously protect your rights.

Before entering private practice in 1978, I spent four years as a Riverside County criminal prosecutor. I know how prosecutors think, and can anticipate their strategies and determine where their cases are weakest. I have a solid reputation with Southern California judges and prosecuting attorneys, who know that I am meticulous in my investigations and formidable in court.

Challenging a Homicide Case

During the initial phase, I thoroughly examine all elements of the district attorney's case. My firm employs private investigators, forensics specialists and other experts to find and exploit any holes in the case. We scrutinize DNA evidence and other physical evidence, the reliability of alleged witnesses to the crime, police errors or violations of rights, the assignment of motive and intent and any other basis for fighting the charges.

Straightforward Answers on What to Expect in Your Homicide Case

At the preliminary hearing on murder charges, the judge will determine if there is sufficient cause to proceed to trial. If a trial is ordered, I sit down with the client for a frank discussion of the possible outcomes.

• When the prosecution's case is likely to result in conviction, I have a solid record in negotiating plea bargains with district attorneys that are most favorable to my client.
• If you decide to retain our services at trial, we use every resource and strategy to create reasonable doubt in the minds of jury members to get a not guilty verdict.
