If you've been arrested in Ventura County, here is what matters: the decisions made in the first few days shape everything that follows, and the lawyer making them should know this county's courts cold. That is what I offer. I have practiced criminal defense exclusively in Ventura County for 30 years — more than 20,000 court appearances, nearly every working day since the 1990s. I grew up here, my office has been in Oxnard for over 20 years, and I know the local judges, prosecutors, and court staff as well as anyone practicing today.

My career began as a law clerk to Judge Lance Ito during the O.J. Simpson trial, where I researched the admissibility of the DNA evidence at the center of the case. Three decades later, that is still how I defend cases — by attacking the evidence: the stop, the search, the testing, the lab work.

I handle all criminal matters: DUI, drug charges, theft and shoplifting, domestic violence, assault, burglary, robbery, sex crimes, three strikes cases, expungement, and more. On misdemeanors, I appear in court for you, so you never miss work. Many Ventura County misdemeanors can be resolved through judicial diversion and dismissed with no conviction.

I charge a fair, flat fee quoted up front — no hourly billing, no surprises — and when you call, you reach me personally, not a secretary or associate. In other words, you are not my "client," you are my customer.
