Another interesting and successful day! Started off again in downtown LA on a serious felony evading case. I was able to convince the judge to release the client on his own recognizance, so he didn’t have to post $75,000 in bail.

Then off to the North Justice Center in Fullerton, where we showed completion of a drug awareness class as part of judicial diversion on a misdemeanor drug possession at Disneyland case. As a result, the charge was dismissed Two very happy clients!

Got a great for a client and getting two misdemeanor cases dismissed through mental health diversion. I’m happy to report the client, with the support of his family and the justice system, is stable, employed, and pursuing career training, while getting treatment and medication. He will continue living a happy and productive life with a clean record.

The Anaheim Police Department will be conducting a warrantless and suspicionless stops of hundreds of innocent drivers that they'll refer to as a "DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint" today, September 25, 2026, between the hours of 6:00 p.m. (until 2:00 a.m. probably), at an undisclosed location, which by law they are supposed to reveal but don't.

If stopped, invoke your right to remain silent and refuse to answer any questions without an attorney present. Despite what police officers will say, you always have these rights, whether arrested, detained, or just out in public. Police officers legally can lie to you. Do not think you will talk your way out of being arrested.

Do not do any field sobriety tests. Do not think you will impress them with your performance, because they get to decide how you performed. And even if you perform well, the argument will be that it means nothing because it's "easier than driving."

Do not blow into any portable breath testing device before you are arrested (unless you are under 21).

Once arrested, cooperate and choose to do a blood test. Once released, contact this office immediately. You have only 10 days following your arrest to request a DMV hearing. The failure to do so will result in a drivers license suspension in 30 days.

Stay safe out there and protect your rights!

The Anaheim Police Department will be conducting a DUI Checkpoint in West Anaheim beginning at 6:00 p.m. this Friday.

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs puts everyone on the road at risk. If you’re planning to drink or use ma*****na, make a plan for a safe ride home before you head out.

Remember:
• A DUI doesn’t only apply to alcohol. You can also be arrested for driving while impaired by ma*****na or other drugs.
• A first-time DUI conviction can cost more than $13,500 in fines, fees, insurance increases and other expenses.
• The consequences can include license suspension, court costs, DUI education programs and even jail time.

Don’t risk your life or someone else’s. Designate a sober driver, use a rideshare or taxi, or stay where you are until you’re sober.

Never underestimate the power of AI. A client sent me a screenshot of the search results that recommended me to her. I got hired!

Picked up a client at the airport yesterday morning to take him to court. We had a difficult motion hearing trying to convince the judge to reduce a felony vehiclular manslaughter conviction to a misdemeanor. A very sad situation where the client made a mistake trying to help a friend that led to his death.

But it’s been 10 years, and the client has lived an exemplary life, gotten married, has young kids, studied and trained as an electrical foreman. But the stigma of a felony still lingered and held him back from a lot of professional and personal opportunities.

In the end, the judge saw this clients’a sincere rehabilitation, and that he still carries around a lot of guilt for what happened to his friend. The judge reduced his felony conviction to a misdemeanor, and the client, a large, tough man, broke down in tears.

I was so thrilled to be able to help him move forward with his life and put some of this trauma behind him. And I took him back to the airport afterwards for the flight home to his wife and children.

The Orange Police Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint on July 31, 2026, between the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m, at an undisclosed location in north Orange.

DUI checkpoint locations are determined using data associated with incidents of impaired driving-related collisions and frequency of DUI arrests. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, while also checking drivers for proper licensing. The primary purpose of a DUI checkpoint is to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.

“Our community deserves to be safe from the preventable dangers of impaired driving. Plan ahead, designate a sober driver, or use a rideshare service. The OPD will continue to prioritize the protection of life and property through aggressive enforcement,” said Sergeant Bryce Nielsen.

The Orange Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational ma*****na are legal, driving under the influence of ma*****na is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.

Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
