My greatest passion and satisfaction in life is helping the oppressed, vindicating the underdog, fighting battles for the poor, going to war for the defenseless and freeing the innocent. My clients hire me for my intelligence and tenacity. I throw my heart and soul in for free.
Success is NOT by chance. Losing is NOT an option! With offices in Orange and Fresno Counties, we provide aggressive and relentless representation in all areas of law, concentrating in Criminal Defense, Civil Law and Bankruptcy Cases. Don't place your life and liberty in the hands of unproven lawyers. If there is a way to help you, rest assured that I will find it.
While many attorneys claim they can represent you in any case, you are well-advised to inquire how many cases of a particular nature they have actually handled, and the final outcome of those cases. Talk is cheap but Success speaks volumes. While many talk a big talk, most cringe at the thought of actually arguing your case before a Jury, making coherent arguments, cross-examining police officers and witnesses, and actually standing in front of a jury to fight for your freedom. Most lawyers are proud to have tried 5 Jury Trials in their entire career. I tried 8 cases just this past year. This isn't just a job to me, it's my life-long passion.
Most lawyers who take a case, do so solely with an eye toward a plea bargain, as they lack the requisite experience, intelligence, knowledge and pure guts to go to Trial. I watch these inexperienced lawyers shaking and trembling in court everyday, and can't help but feel sorry for their clients. Do not be fooled by such phrases as the "Presumption of Innocence", a "Jury of your Peers" and "Innocent until Proven Guilty". Despite the fact that these phrases are imbedded in our Constitution, most criminal trials are intense and bloody battles waged during cross-examination and a vicious and fiery exchange of wits with police officers, forensic experts, scientists, crime scene technicians, Medical Examiners, witnesses, and your accuser, all being closely watched by a highly conservative Jury Pool that actually wants to send you to Prison.
My fees are reasonable because I sit in the trenches. I do not have Valet Parking, an ocean-front office, a Ferrari or Armani suits. If your life and liberty are on the line, select experience, know-how, raw linguistic talent and a military-style blue-collar work ethic, over a fancy but inexperienced lawyer sitting in a shiny high-rise building. Most Judges and Juries are unimpressed with "fancy and flash", but look for a well-prepared, well-spoken, intelligent but humble lawyer who is willing to connect with them on their level. I worked in a gas station for 15 years before becoming a lawyer. Unlike most lawyers, I'm not arrogant, self-absorbed or full of myself. My humble disposition, street-wise attitude and fearless but honest attitude are a direct link to most jurors' hearts and souls.
I have successfully stood up to the following powerful entities without blinking an eye:
- FBI
- CIA
- DOJ
- ICE
- Dept. of Homeland Security
- Secret Service
- Department of State
- U.S. Postal Service

I know how to defang and diffuse those "aggressive" investigators who knock on your door at 11 pm just to "chat" about the case. I have dismissed cases due to "dirty" and/or compromised police work, thrown out false and coerced confessions and had Guilty Pleas reversed based on fabricated testimony. I know how to expose skilled liars before the Jury. Don't be a victim. The playing field is not "level". Do not get involved without me on your side, as I am not afraid to go to war and certainly not shy of fighting for your cause, no matter the adversary. I won't give you lip service, or paint you a rose garden. I will tell you the way it is; No hype, no sales-pitch, no fancy lawyer talk. Most people who hire me once, keep me for life. This is my life and my passion. If you or a loved one are in trouble, don't settle for a Poodle, hire a Pit Bull.
