Law Office of John Halley
20 Years Trial and Appellate Experience
Firm Overview
I have done criminal defense for more than 20 years, during which I have handled hundreds of appeals and dozens of trials. I have spoken at seminars for attorneys and have argued cases in front of the California Supreme Court.
I have an expertise in driving under the influence cases, including the DMV license problems that they create. I have handled these cases at trial, at the DMV, in the California Court of Appeal, and in the California Supreme Court. I have taken the DMV to court many times to appeal their decisions about license suspensions.
In my work, my job is to correctly understand the story and the legal situation, to make the best decisions about the case, and then do what it takes to make a judge, or a jury, or a District Attorney see things my way.
Example casesI have twelve published opinions in criminal appeals, including four in the California Supreme Court.
