Santa Ana court: Assault and Attempted Kidnap - victim allegedly met client in parking lot of warehouse store to break off relationship. Victim alleged that client punched her in face and forcibly kept victim in car against her will until she jumped out of moving vehicle sustaining injuries from being dragged in open passenger door. Client was on Felony drug probation.

Santa Ana court: Illegal Audio System in a Vehicle - I ran motion to dismiss based on Unconstitutional vagueness of statute causing judge to find a violation and dismiss charges.

El Monte court: Indecent Exposure - client identified in two incidents allegedly flashing other drivers and committing lewd acts. Client tracked down by license plate and identified in photo lineup.

I convinced judge there was insufficient evidence on Felony Evading charge at Preliminary Hearing and, later, convinced prosecutor to reduce all charges to misdemeanors with probation.

Westminster court: Driving Under the Influence of Marijuana - client allegedly seen driving up Main street in Huntington Beach smoking out of "bong." I filed Motion to Suppress Evidence arguing that officer could not determine if "bong" had a "carburetor" leading prosecutor to dismiss DUI charges in exchange for non-drug related plea with small fine.

San Bernardino court: Felony Vandalism w/ 3-strike enhancement - client allegedly threw large rock at $15,000 paint job on showcar causing major damage. Rock was apparently thrown in response to owner of car chastising client as he was yelling at his young daughter and client was apparently using drugs.

Bellflower court: Credit Card Fraud - client allegedly used stolen card to have $8,000 in high-perf auto parts delivered to his house...merchant had UPS driver identify client.

On pushing matter to Trial, prosecutors finally dismissed all charges as well as allegation of probation violation.

Fontana court: Felony Evading and Reckless Driving - client allegedly took motorcycle to over 130mph after seeing officer’s lights and winding through back roads including residential areas running at least 3 stop signs while looking back over shoulder at officer.

All cases had alcohol levels well-above legal limit. Westminster prosecutors realized that client had 2 additional Colorado priors. I convinced prosecutors to allow plea for 40 days in jail with 40 days of credit for time served in Westminster court. Newport Beach prosecutors then amended complaint to charge Felony DUI while still not realizing that Long Beach case existed. I convinced Preliminary Hearing judge in Newport Beach case to strike/dismiss the Colorado priors and allow client 120 days of house arrest and, at same time, prosecutors discovered Long Beach case. Newport Beach prosecutors attempted to delay Newport Beach case to refile their case as a Felony and, when judge still allowed for house arrest plea, Newport Beach prosecutors contacted Long Beach prosecutors in attempt to have them re-file the Long Beach case as a 4th/Felony DUI. I convinced Long Beach judge to continue to allow plea to 30 days house arrest concurrent with Newport Beach punishment as client had signed and notarized Long Beach plea forms prior to offer being withdrawn by Long Beach prosecutors. Total result was 28 actual days of jail and 120 days of house arrest along with alcohol class for combination of a 4th, 5th and 6th DUI within 7 years.

Chino court: Vandalism and Civil Restraining Order - client allegedly seen "keying" entire body of ex-fiance’s new car after learning she was engaged again. Ex-Fiancé additionally filed for separate Restraining Order attempting to use it to get client fired as the two worked at the same business.

Riverside court: Felony Embezzlement - client allegedly cashes several checks intended for his employer which totaled well over $10k. Client was on active probation for multi-offense DUI, Suspended License, Grand Theft and Domestic Violence incidents.  I convinced prosecutor (over a supervisor’s objection) to reduce offense to simple Misdemeanor Theft offense to avoid impact on client’s stock trading career with payment of only $3,000 of the loss...client spent 59 days on "House Arrest" which allowed him to be away from home 12 hours per day for all 7 days a week.

San Bernardino court: Driving Under the Influence - client arrested on 5th offense DUI in Redlands with 0.20% blood alcohol level blowing through stop. I convinced prosecutor to allow for local jailtime with no probation and Misdemeanor conviction.

Santa Ana court: Driving Under the Influence and Use of Methamphetamine - client on 2nd DUI pulled over going 110mph on freeway and tested positive for both alcohol and meth. Drug Recognition Expert testified that testing proved the client was impaired by both alcohol and drugs. In trial, I used difference in DUI requirement of "substantial" impairment and Drug requirement of just impairment to highlight lack of evidence of guilt of DUI and jury hung on DUI charge. I then convinced judge to dismiss 2nd DUI charge on motion saving client from approximately 90 days in jail and classes required for a 2nd DUI while going 30mph over speed limit.

Needles court: Reckless Driving - client allegedly driving Corvette on twisty section of 2 lane road on radar at over 140mph with pursuit lasting almost 5 miles.

Hemet court: Driving Under the Influence - client allegedly failed to appear at court date listed on her citation and had warrant issued due to non-appearance along with hold placed on driver’s license.

Barstow court: 3 counts Reckless Driving - client allegedly pulled over 3 times within 1 hour traveling well over 100mph weaving in and out of traffic. Each officer warned client they would be alerting other officers that she was driving in hazardous manner. I convinced prosecutor to dismiss all but one of the Reckless Driving charges with no jail time and small fine and allowing client to keep her license from being suspended due to excessive points.

Fullerton court: Transportation and Possession of Marijuana for Sale - client was passenger in vehicle allegedly pulled over after motor officer observed occupants smoking Marijuana while driving. Client admitted that bag containing 3 ounces of Marijuana, a scale, and baggies was his. Client had large amount of cash on his person. Officer testified at both Motion hearing and Preliminary Hearing that Sales were involved. Client was cited on a separate Marijuana violation while case was pending. I convinced judge to put pressure on prosecutor to allow "dual plea" with Sales charges being dismissed upon plea to one Felony and one Misdemeanor violation. Client was allowed to work jail time off as a "trustee" for a local police department and put on informal probation for the Misdemeanor charge. Upon completion of the Misdemeanor probation, the Felony count will be dismissed without any sentencing leaving client with no record of any Felony conviction.

Victorville court: False Impersonation of a Police Officer - client allegedly had misleading badge and represented self as a police officer threatening arrest if people would not voluntarily surrender their cars for repossession. I convinced prosecutors to dismiss charges that would allow client to keep working as licensed private investigator in exchange for no jail time and plea to disturbing the peace.

Murrieta court: Possession of Marijuana for Sale - client allegedly detained and found with drugs in vehicle with subsequent search of house turning up over 2 pounds of Marijuana.

San Luis Obispo/Westminster courts: Driving Under the Influence with Priors - client allegedly detained for driving against traffic on wrong side of road...tested around double the limit one year after being put on probation for prior DUI and failing to pay fines or attend class.

Norwalk court: Transportation of Marijuana, Methamphetamine and Cocaine - client allegedly admitted minor sales of drugs when found in possession of several ounces of Marijuana, ½ ounce of Meth and 1 ounce of Cocaine. Client had several drug and other Felony prior convictions. Officers testified at Preliminary Hearing that amount of drugs plus amount of money in client’s possession clearly indicated Sales were involved. I convinced judge at Superior Court Arraignment that client was eligible for drug program with no jail time based on specific language in Complaint filed by prosecutors. The case was sent for eligibility review by Probation and Probation denied that client was eligible without specific finding by Norwalk judge that Sales were not involved. I successfully argued in front of drug program judge that Constitutional provisions prohibited further review or factual determination regarding whether case was a "Sales-Related" Transportation charge and client was placed into outpatient drug treatment.

Barstow court: Driving Under the Influence - client detained for moving violations and tested over limit on 4 separate tests. Client was at risk of losing ability to continue with driving job he had with a Federal government agency and would be terminated entirely with any Vehicle code violation involving alcohol or reckless conduct. I convinced prosecutor to reduce charge to offense that involved operating a vessel/boat with alcohol involved with small fine and 12 hour class to save client’s employment.

Westminster court: Possession of Cocaine - client contacted after noise complaint at a party to celebrate his completion of a court-ordered drug program. Client allegedly admitted vial of cocaine found was his while thinking that he was simply eligible for a second program. Although statute specifically precludes eligibility on 2nd drug arrests, I convinced prosecutor that client had given admission solely to stop officers from arresting parolee who was present and that charges should be dismissed on completion of a 16 session drug class.

Mojave court: Under the Influence and Possession of Methamphetamine and Paraphernalia - client in car on side of road allegedly smoking drugs with passenger. I convinced prosecutor that officers did incomplete investigation and poor drug recognition evaluation leading to all Felony charges being dismissed up front with misdemeanor Paraphernalia charge being dismissed on completion of drug class.

Fullerton court: Unlawful Driving/Theft of Vehicle and Grand Theft - ex-employee client allegedly took commercial vehicle from work 2 days after being fired for stealing and selling company property. Meth pipe found in vehicle and client had multiple Felony prior convictions. I convinced prosecutor that shady business dealings of company along with the poor inventory records would make Felony charges difficult to prove and prosecutor ultimately allowed Misdemeanor plea with only informal probation and no jail time.

Compton court: Driving 30+ mph over limit while Driving Under the Influence - client allegedly driving well over 100mph with blood alcohol tests between 0.12 and 0.14%. I convinced prosecutor to dismiss speeding allegations saving client from mandatory 60 day jail sentence.

Santa Barbara court: Minor in Possession of Alcohol and Public Intoxication - client arrested at college party while 18 years old. I convinced court and alternative sentencing coordinator to allow client to attend Alcohol Awareness class near his home and have case dismissed. Client never had to show up in court, paid no fine and avoided 1 year license suspension normally imposed by the DMV.

Barstow court: 2nd DUI w/ Accident and Possession of Counterfeit Goods - after rollover accident, inventory of client’s SUV turned up several hundred counterfeit trademarked watches and handbags (i.e. Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Breitling, etc.) with client testing at 0.15% blood alcohol level. I convinced special prosecutor to allow plea to only misdemeanor charges with no jail time and client paying small fine and doing alcohol class.

Newport Beach court: Transportation of Cocaine, Reckless Evading, Use of Controlled Substance and 2nd DUI - during pursuit client allegedly seen throwing baggie of cocaine into toll road change hopper (baggie recovered) and chased off of toll road through industrial complex.
