Criminal Defense

I specialize in Criminal Law and have 20 years experience defending people that have been accused of felonies and misdemeanors. I have extensive trial experience including high profile capitol offense cases and 3 strikes cases. I have had excellent results defending criminal allegations of all kinds including DUI's, drug related charges, sex offenses, murder, burglary, robbery and grand theft. I defend clients primarily in Placer County and Sacramento County including Auburn, Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Citrus Heights, Fair Oaks, Folsom, Antelope, Sacramento and surrounding areas. I have also defended clients in other Northern California communities such as Yuba City, Marysville and Nevada City.

I teach continuing education seminars on criminal law, and I attend legal education seminars across the state covering subjects relevant to criminal law, including the annual death penalty conference.

I have created or collaborated on the following publications: CrimeTime Software, California Crimes and Enhancements Listings, and Federal Drug Sentencing Calculator.

Over the past twenty-one years I have handled literally thousands of criminal cases. I have gone to trial on several high-profile capital cases that resulted in not-guilty verdicts. On one occasion, I defended a twenty-two year old woman charged with special circumstance murder. The prosecutor was seeking the death penalty. The young lady was eventually found not guilty of all murder charges.

I began my private practice in 2006 after practicing criminal law as a public defender in Placer County since 1987.

Prior to starting a private practice in 2006, I worked as a public defender in Placer County. In 1996, my partner, Len Tauman, and I were awarded the contract to provide public defender services to Placer County. Fulfilling this contract required me to employ approximately 24 attorneys, 8 investigators, and a support staff.

I created the CrimeTime Software that is used statewide to calculate criminal sentences. I have trained several thousand criminal practitioners (judges, prosecutors, defense attorney, probation officers, state attorneys, legislators, etc) on how the intricacies of California's complex sentencing law work.

I am an approved provider of continuing education for bar-related education.
