Our
Values
Transparency
We work to get our clients in as good a position as we can given their unique circumstances.
We’re always honest and transparent about the strengths and challenges of your case.
Innovation
We approach each case differently, based on the specific facts and legal issues involved in the case, as well as the client’s wishes and priorities.
That may mean taking a case to trial, negotiating a favorable plea deal, advocating for dismissal, pursuing diversion, and/or litigating pretrial motions. We think creatively to work toward the best result in each case!
Compassion
We are sensitive to our clients' cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and values, and adapt communication and representation strategies accordingly.
(Let us know if you need Spanish, Mandarin, or Cantonese language support.)
Respect
We treat our clients with dignity and respect, regardless of the allegations they face. We see our clients' humanity and worth as individuals. We fight vigorously to ensure you are treated fairly throughout the legal process.
