Our Constitutional rights are eroding rapidly. Wiretaps, video cameras, DUI checkpoints, airport body scans, and overzealous law enforcement have encroached upon the the freedoms our framers and founders fought so hard to create and preserve. It is an absolute embarrassment that our "Land of the Free" has become anything but. Our police are trained to intimidate and trick people into giving up their rights, and our courts and politicians continue to allow it. The criminal courtroom is the front line in this important battle between individual freedom and an overbearing government. If you believe your rights have been violated, let us fight for you and stand up for YOUR RIGHTS. We can help you assert your rights, fight your case and achieve the best possible results.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION:
KNOWING AND ASSERTING YOUR RIGHTS
Knowing and asserting your rights during a police encounter is imperative. Police officers are trained to treat everyone like a suspect, and to trick and intimidate our people into giving up important Constitutional rights. Refusing a search does not mean that you have something to hide; it means you are an American, and have a right to be free from unreasonable intrusion by the government into your private life. K-9 sniffs, infrared detectors and DUI checkpoints compromise our rights and our freedom. The framers and founders were deeply concerned with personal rights, and were very clear in their intentions to promote privacy and liberty over punishment. It is important to fully understand what protections the Bill of Rights gives us, and how to handle a police officer's attempt to sidestep those rights. Police see your important rights as obstacles, and use deceptive tactics to get around them. Arm yourself with the knowledge to handle these police encounters, and in the event that you are arrested or end up facing criminal charges, let your San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney assert your rights in court and fight for a favorable outcome.

Having an attorney who is familiar with the law, the court procedures and the defenses available to you is absolutely essential when facing criminal charges. From ensuring that your rights are protected, arguing and negotiating on your behalf in regards to bail, the charges against you, the sentencing terms and more. Whether you intend to take your case to a jury trial or not, there are many ways to defend a case, and a thorough defense considers all angles. The same criminal case can have many different outcomes, and much of that variation depends on the skill, care and knowledge of the defense attorney. This is also the factor most within your control. There is a lot at stake in a criminal case. You could be in jeopardy of losing your liberty, other rights, driver's license and even career. For non-citizens, the immigration consequences of a criminal conviction can be severe. Luckily, you do not have to fight these charges on your own. You can pick the right lawyer to defend you, and leave the rest to us. If you are facing criminal charges, call now for a Free Consultation with a San Diego Criminal Defense Attorney and DUI Lawyer.
