| Case Type | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Wrongful Death Auto Accident |
Policy limits settlement for wrongful death case; represented three siblings whose parents and little brother died in an auto accident. |
| "Cleaning" Criminal Record |
Convictions set aside and sentences vacated on two drug cases. Proved to the court what the client claimed: the client was not properly advised by the court nor by his former lawyer of the immigration consequences of these drug convictions. Client was able to move toward regularizing his immigration status because he no longer had a criminal record. |
| Auto Accident |
Auto accident policy limits settlement. Client owed her health insurance the same amount as the settlement. Negotiated with the health insurance - my client paid them nothing at all, putting more money in her pocket. |
| Criminal Defense Pre-Prosecution |
My client hit and ran. The police told him to come down and talk to them. He hired me instead. I resolved his case with no client statement and no criminal charges filed against him. |
| Criminal Defense |
I got the client's felony perjury charge dismissed. He pled only to an infraction of driving without a driver's license. Fine only; no probation, no jail. |
| Crime Victims, Wrongful Death, And Death Benefits |
Criminal, civil and workers compensation. Represented 9-person family: husband, adult children and grandchildren. Obtained criminal restitution order. Fought for and achieved settlements in civil wrongful death and workers' compensation death benefits cases. All family members received civil settlements, and the kids receive monthly payments until they reach age of 18 years old. |
|---|---|
| Criminal Defense |
U.S. District Court 5 co-defendant federal case. Conspiracy charge dismissed. Pled guilty to possession charge. No prison. 4 years probation, 1 year ankle bracelet, fees and restitution. My client was the only sentenced defendant who did not go to federal prison - I got him the ankle bracelet instead. |
| Criminal Defense & DMV |
Client refused blood and breath tests. I won his DMV refusal case. He kept his drivers license. This saved him from a one year solid license suspension which would have allowed no driving allowed at all. |
| Wrongful Death Auto Accident |
Policy limits settlement for wrongful death case. 18-year-old bicyclist was killed by newly licensed driver. |
| Criminal Defense |
DUI dismissed, client got drunk in public charge only. Client had admitted to the police that he drove drunk. |
| Criminal Record "Cleaning" And Save Client's Job | Got criminal exception granted for home healthcare aide client; "cleaned" her criminal record and then fought for her work license. She recovered her home healthcare license and got her job back. She then filled out her application to renew her work license, without me, but made serious mistakes. She lost her work license again. She hired me again, I fought for her and she got her job back. |
| Wrongful Death Auto Accident |
Policy limits settlement and out of pocket payment for 18-year-old bicyclist killed by motorist with no assets. The boy was crossing the street at night while riding his bicycle - which is against the law. |
| Death Benefits |
A contruction worker fell off roof at work. The boss had insufficient safety equipment on the job. I represented the deceased's pregnant longtime girlfriend, and their little girl. Death benefits were won for the girlfriend, and both children. The children will receive benefits until the last born child reaches the age of 18. Employer had no workers compensation insurance. |
| Medical Malpractice |
A doctor punctured my client's intestines during a liposuction gone wrong. The doctor denied all liability. A medical malpractice settlement of maximum allowed in California for general damages was obtained: $250,000. |
| Criminal Record "Cleaning" And Reductions |
For one client, "expunged" 16 criminal cases all at once. Reduced two misdemeanors to infractions. These results include cases where the client had violated probation. |
| Sexual Assault Victim Claim For Damages | Achieved settlement with apartment owner who denied all liability for a sexual battery commited by their employee against my client, who was the tenant at the apartment complex. The employee had no prior history of sexual offenses, and he claimed the sexual contact was completely consensual. |
| Criminal Defense and DMV | Persistently fought my client's DUI criminal case. I got it dismissed after winning a long fight at the DMV. My client walked free and kept her drivers license. |
| Criminal Defense | Unlicensed and uninsured 19-year-old drunk client hit and ran twice in one day. He had two separate car accidents, both while he was speeding on the freeway. I resolved his case for one charge of "wet reckless" only and got rid of all his DUI charges. |
