The Right Defense Lawyer
Many people who are in legal trouble start out by searching online for a “5-star criminal lawyer near me” to handle their case. While that’s a good way to start, make sure you find the best attorney for your specific situation with glowing client testimonials. You need to go beyond viewing a few nearby lawyer websites to find someone actually worth hiring who presents the best opportunity for winning your case.
Fighting for Your Best Results
I’m a tough negotiator and successful trial lawyer. Judges and prosecutors respect me because I fight hard to protect my client’s rights and obtain the best optimal result for their situations. My peers in the legal industry rated me an AV-Preeminent attorney by Martindale-Hubbell, meaning I demonstrate the highest level of excellence in legal experience, knowledge, judgment and communication. I also have a perfect 10 rating on AVVO due, in-part to, endorsements from fellow San Diego criminal defense attorneys.
I guarantee the quality of my work and my dedication to seeking the best outcome possible for every client’s individual case. I have experience fighting all types of criminal charges, including evaluating and presenting the right defenses for each unique situation. I have even successfully defended many clients against murder charges and represented defendants in many high-profile criminal cases.
If you are a parent or grandparent, you can retain me to defend your child who has been arrested. When we meet, we’ll discuss how I can provide you the strongest possible criminal defense based on your case’s specifics.
I have experience fighting all types of criminal charges and am well-seasoned in evaluating and presenting the right defenses for each of my clients based on their unique circumstances. After all, someone accused of drunk driving after leaving the Belching Beaver Brewery requires a drastically different legal approach than someone accused of vehicle theft on Shadow Ridge Drive or domestic battery near Brengle Park.
When you meet with me, we’ll discuss what happened to you and how I can help you based on the specifics of your case. If you choose me as your Vista criminal lawyer, I want to ensure you receive the best possible defense for your unique situation.

My Past Experience as a Criminal Attorney
Over 40 Years Practicing Law
I graduated from the University of California, Berkeley Law School in 1983 and have been practicing law ever since. For 15 years, I served the public through the United Farm Workers Union, Legal Aid Society of San Diego and the San Diego County Public Defender’s Office. Since 1987, I have been practicing criminal law exclusively. As a public defender, I tried many murders and a death penalty case, and eventually became the second person in charge in the Vista office as the Assistant Supervising Public Defender.
I opened my private practice back in 1998, offering criminal defense services for adults and juveniles. In the more than 27 years I have been a Vista defense lawyer operating in a solo practice, I have continually strived to help my clients navigate the challenges of the criminal justice system.
I believe in America’s justice system and the ideal that every person deserves the chance to fight the charges brought against them. To help the general public better understand the law, I thoroughly review and edit all of the content in my blog, which has been ranked within the top 50 criminal law blogs on Feedspot for over 8 years.
