Domestic Violence
Protecting Your Individual Rights In the Courtroom and Beyond
When you are accused of a crime of domestic violence, you face harsh penalties including jail time, probation, required classes and other limitations on your freedom. Even when you are innocent, you are further penalized by the social stigma that accompanies charges of this kind. In these cases, you need an experienced attorney who believes in you, who can effectively challenge the evidence against you, and who can undermine the credibility of your accuser.
As a Deputy Public Defender in Mendocino County, I aggressively represented clients charged with domestic violence offenses. I successfully obtained either dismissals or not guilty verdicts for clients by highlighting the many areas of weakness in such cases, exposing the ulterior motives or lack of credibility of my clients’ accusers, and using expert testimony to support our defense. I will do what it takes to get you the results you need and deserve and to prevent this charge from holding you back in your future life.

As a Deputy Public Defender in Mendocino County, I aggressively defended clients charged with assault, battery and other crimes of violence. I understand how to successfully defend you, expose the weaknesses in the case against you, and effectively cross-examine your accuser to reveal the inconsistencies in their story.
