AREAS SERVED

Local knowledge, county by county.

Local knowledge matters more in criminal law than in almost any other area. We defend clients across five California counties from three offices — and we know the judges, the prosecutors, and the programs available in each one.

WHERE WE PRACTICE

One team. Five counties. Three offices.

The same charge is handled differently in Salinas than it is in San Jose — different prosecutors, different judges, different programs available. Our attorneys have deep, intrinsic ties to each local court system.

Central Coast Salinas & Monterey Offices

Monterey County (Salinas & Monterey)

William is a former Monterey County public defender, and much of our team lives and works here. We know this courthouse better than any other.

Santa Cruz County (Served from San Jose & Salinas)

More than ten years defending clients here, using the county’s unusually strong treatment and community programs.

San Benito County (Hollister)

A small county with its own way of doing things. We’ve worked here continuously for over a decade, and know how to win against the odds in rural jurisdictions.

Silicon Valley & Peninsula San Jose Office

Santa Clara County (San Jose)

A third of our team is based here. Two of our attorneys teach law in San Jose, and one is a former Santa Clara County deputy public defender.

San Mateo County (Redwood City)

A tough prosecutor’s office that charges aggressively. Cases here need to be taken seriously from day one.
