- Criminal DefenseThe Immigration and Nationality Act imposes harsh sanctions on non-citizens in the United States who violate the law.

- DUI/DWIIn California, when you are charged for a DUI / DWI, two separate cases are opened: (1) a criminal matter in superior court, and (2) hearing by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Although both cases are extremely serious, the DMV case is far more time-sensitive. Motorists accused of drunk driving in California have only 10 days from the date of their DUI / DWI arrest to request a hearing with the DMV. Anyone arrested for DUI or DWI in California who does not request a hearing within the required time period, will have his or her driver's license suspended automatically on the 30th day following their drunk driving arrest.
