With over 37 years of courtroom experience, I’ve built a strong track record of fighting — and winning — for my clients.
Since 2014, I have handled a heavy felony and misdemeanor caseload, from arraignment through preliminary hearing and jury trial. My caseload has included murders, s*x offenses, gang allegations, other crimes of violence, theft, fraud, and drug-related charges. I have also handled, and tried, numerous mental health cases.
July 2019: Two back-to-back jury trial victories — one involving a serious injury with a gang enhancement, and another Three Strikes case carrying a life sentence.
March 2023: After three years of relentless advocacy, I secured the release of a man serving life in prison.
August 2023: Successfully restored freedom for two clients in separate complex Restoration of Sanity cases.
June 2024: Before taking a six-month break from Lake County, I prevailed in 2 life in prison cases, an armed robbery, attempted murder with a shooting, and a 3 strikes kidnapping case...And many more success stories.

TAKING IT TO THE BOX!

All the time I hear from criminal defendants, “I’m taking this one to the box!”
Now, sometimes that happens where you can’t resolve a case and you go to trial. More often than not, probably high ninetieth percentile, cases settle. What I always get a kick out of is how cavalier defendants are about going to trial. This office is currently preparing to start a jury trial in a criminal case this Thursday. I can promise you that between attorney and staff time, just in the week preceding trial, we will spend upwards of fifty hours preparing.
There is Voir Dire, which are questions to ask prospective jurors to try to determine if they would be good to have on your case. There are Motions in Limine, which seek to prevent the admission of certain evidence, for example: A prior conviction. Then there will be a hearing on your various MIL’s, then of course there is the jury selection process which entails much work to be prepared. When the pretrial stuff is over and the trial actually commences, the attorneys make opening statements which give the jurors a road map to the case and what the attorney thinks the evidence will show.
Do you think you need to prepare much for that?
After opening statements, there is testimony from witnesses. Oh yeah, you need to prepare your witnesses for giving their testimony. Of course, to have a witness, you need to subpoena them, so there is plenty of document preparation to do for each one, and literally serving them in person.
There are exhibits to prepare and at some point, after a day, or a week, or a month, there are closing arguments to make.
What did the evidence show? That is a brief recap of the case to persuade the jurors to find your client not guilty.
That’s just a little insight on what it takes to go to trial. So, you want to take it to the box?

WORD TO THE WISE

What should you do — and not do — if you’re stopped by police while driving?

You’ve probably seen videos online where drivers curse at officers or refuse to cooperate, but in the real world, that kind of behavior usually only makes things worse — even if the traffic stop turns out to be illegal or unconstitutional.
Refusing to show your license or failing to cooperate can still result in:
A citation or arrest for failing to present ID (California Vehicle Code § 12951).
An unnecessary escalation of the situation.
If the officer asks, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” — avoid guessing or offering reasons. Saying what you think could sound like an admission of guilt.
Instead, respond politely:
“No, officer — can you tell me why I was pulled over?”
They might reply, “Why do you think?” but stick to your position — don’t speculate.
It’s smart to:
• Record the encounter (if it’s safe and legal in your situation).
• Make note of the officer’s badge number and patrol car number for your records.
• Always present your license, registration, and insurance when asked — even if you believe the stop isn’t legitimate.
The most important thing:
Stay calm, stay safe, and handle any dispute later in court — not during the stop.
