If you have been arrested for burglary (residential or commercial, i.e., shoplifting), robbery, or other theft charges, it is important to get a case evaluation as soon as possible from an honest and experienced criminal defense attorney who can give you a straightforward opinion of the most likely outcome of your case.
I am a San Diego County criminal defense lawyer with nearly 20 years of experience. I defend clients against both misdemeanor and felony theft-related charges, including burglary and robbery, in San Diego, Temecula, Murrieta, and throughout Southern California. I have thorough knowledge of the rules and procedures of all local courts, and I have developed respectful relationships with the prosecutors and judges who handle criminal cases in San Diego County courts.
My job as your criminal defense lawyer is to explore every possible avenue to build a strong defense on your behalf. I will review the police procedures used during your arrest and any search and seizure — if I am able to uncover violations of your Constitutional rights, then I may be able to argue for suppression of evidence and possible dismissal of the case. I will conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances surrounding your arrest — looking for information about witnesses that makes them less credible.
My goal in all cases is to prevent a conviction if at all possible, or to minimize the negative consequences that may result from a conviction.
