Help When You Need It Most
Our clients do not belong in jail. They need help. We seek to get them the help that they need.
We review all aspects of your arrest, looking for mistakes:
- Was the search and seizure improperly executed?
- Was there a problem with the search warrant?
- Are there extenuating circumstances that led to your arrest?
- Was there probable cause for the police to stop your car?
- What did the police leave out of the record that can give a fuller picture of the situation?
- Were you actually tested for the substances that the police said were in your possession?
Skilled in Prop. 36 Matters
Many clients obtain substance abuse treatment rather than receiving a jail sentence. We are knowledgeable in Proposition 36, the Substance Abuse and Crime Prevention Act. Prop. 36 allows for first- or second-time offenders of simple possession to obtain treatment and get a second chance.
