Napa County Criminal Defense Lawyer

Criminal Attorney in Napa, California

You may have been arrested for shoplifting or may be facing DUI charges. Whether this is your first arrest or if you have a criminal record, you will need an experienced attorney at your side as soon as possible to begin protecting you against a criminal conviction and the serious penalties this may bring. Even a misdemeanor conviction for drug possession or petty theft may result in imprisonment as well as fines and other possible penalties: driver's license suspension, probation, mandatory drug or alcohol rehabilitation, etc. Having a criminal record will also affect your future opportunities in employment, education, housing and finances.

With a Napa County criminal defense lawyer at your side to protect your Constitutional rights throughout the criminal court process associated with your charges, you will have the opportunity to seek a case result that minimizes potential penalties or results in an avoided conviction or dropped charges altogether. To you, it may seem that you have no chance of an acquittal. But by conducting a thorough investigation and uncovering evidence of an illegal search and seizure, unlawful arrest or other serious violation of your rights, your attorney may be able to have key evidence suppressed that will impact the outcome of your case.
