SAN DIEGO BEST PRACTICES IN CRIMINAL DEFENSE OF CRIMES

• Police Investigations–if the police want to talk to you, call us immediately.  There are strategic decisions to be made on your behalf that can change the outcome of the investigation and the criminal case.
• Release From Jail–we can help you get released from jail on your own recognizance, meaning without paying any bail money, or help convince a judge to reduce the amount of bail in order to get you released and save you money.
• Violation of Rights–we defend your Constitutional rights to remain silent, to challenge illegal searches of your property, unlawful detentions of the car you were driving, and many other protected areas.
• Reduce a Felony to Misdemeanor–we prepare and file written petitions in court asking the judge to reduce the charges.  This can occur, depending upon the type of crime, during the course of a case or after the case is closed.
• Work Furlough–we help you qualify for work furlough to avoid going to jail, so you can continue to work, make a living, and not lose your job.  There are also other alternatives to custody that we can arrange on your behalf to avoid going to jail, such as CPAC.
• DMV Hearings–we defend your right to keep your driver’s license or to get it reinstated or restricted.
• Sentence Modifications–we prepare and file written petitions in court to modify the terms and conditions of a sentence or probation.
• Rehabilitation Programs–we have access to many rehabilitation programs which you can enroll in to improve your life and the outcome of your case.
• Coerced Confession–did the police read you your rights?  Did you voluntarily make a statement that can be used against you?  We can determine whether this occurred, and if so, find a way to remedy the situation for your benefit.
• Pretrial Drug Diversion–this is a way to resolve your case before trial for drug offenses.  We can help you avoid lengthy court proceedings until the trial.
• Alternatives to Custody–work furlough, electronic monitoring, CPAC, and house arrest are possible ways to avoid going to jail.
• Subpoena Witnesses–we can subpoena witnesses to make them appear in court and help your case.
• Probation Violations–if you have not complied with probation, we can help you to avoid further punishment.
• Civil Compromise–in certain cases you may qualify to have the charges against you dismissed, if the alleged victim agrees to receive compensation and you pay the compensation.
• Expert Witnesses–we have many experts who can testify in court and help you win your case.
• Search Warrant Analysis–did the police had the right to search you or your property?  Let us examine the affidavit or sworn statement that the police used to convince a judge to issue a search warrant, and the return and inventory of property that was searched and seized.
• Unlawful Police Detention–if the police had no legal right to stop your car late at night, look into your private property like a purse or a backpack, search your pockets, order you to get out of your car, we can use this information for your benefit.
• Motion to Dismiss Charges–this request is made in felony cases where there was a legal error according to Penal Code section 995.
• Community Service–this is an alternative to jail that we can help you achieve.
• Lie Detector Results–call us before you take the test!  This test is tricky and you need to know your rights.
• Terminate Probation–if you are on probation, we can file a petition to ask the judge to terminate probation early.
• Withdrawal of Change of Plea–if you believe that your present or previous attorney did not advise you correctly about the consequences of pleading guilty, or made some mistake in representing you, you may be eligible to withdraw your plea of guilty. This is also referred to as a “motion to withdraw a plea.”
