I know exactly how the other side builds its cases — and how to dismantle them.
Contact Us Today, And I Will Generally Respond Directly Within 24 Hours.


Has Child Protective Services (CPS) intervened into your life? Have they taken your children away? Are you looking for help getting them back? Uniquely serving families throughout the North Bay, I offer juvenile dependency representation on both a private and county-contract basis ensuring every family I represent has access to experienced, dedicated counsel regardless of their situation.
No matter the situation, I fight with the same commitment to reunify you with your children.
As a former Deputy District Attorney, I have experience handling all types of cases — from DUI and Domestic Violence to Attempted Murder and Homicide. The advantage of having a former prosecutor defend your liberties is knowing you have someone who worked for the other side, using those same skills and tactics to fight for you.
I handle every case personally. When you hire me, you get me — in court, on the phone, and at the negotiating table. As a Sonoma criminal defense attorney with over 15,000 court appearances, I have built a reputation as the North Bay’s trusted Sonoma criminal defense lawyer. Whether you need a criminal defense attorney in Sonoma County for a DUI, domestic violence charge, serious felony, or juvenile dependency matter — I am here to fight for you personally, every step of the way
