OUR TEAM
A criminal defense team to turn to when everything is on the line
We’re trial lawyers, law professors, mental health advocates, and advocates for criminal-justice reform. Several of us came out of public defender offices, and alongside the casework we teach, we publish, and we push on the system itself when it gets something wrong.
You’re not going to be handed off to somebody you’ve never met. Cases here are worked by our in-house team — attorneys, an investigator, and a research attorney — and you’ll know who’s on your side from the beginning.

The People Behind Your Defense
WHERE WE PRACTICE
One team. Five counties. Three offices.
Local knowledge matters more in criminal law than in almost any other area. The same charge is handled differently in Salinas than it is in San Jose — and our attorneys know each local court.
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.
Santa Cruz County (Served from San Jose & Salinas)
More than ten years defending clients here, using the county’s unusually strong treatment programs.
San Benito County (Hollister)
A small county with its own way of doing things. We’ve worked here continuously for over a decade.
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.
San Mateo County (Redwood City)
A tough prosecutor’s office that charges aggressively. Cases here need to be taken seriously from day one.
