Criminal Defense A conviction can follow you into every job application and background check. We defend misdemeanor and felony charges at every stage, from investigation through trial.
DUI Defense A DUI arrest starts two cases at once. One is the criminal case in court. The other is a separate DMV action against your license, and you have only 10 calendar days, weekends included, to request a hearing. A DUI lawyer in Rancho Cucamonga should be working on both from day one.
