Greg Girard and
Mark Prothero have been practicing Criminal Law for over
50 years combined. The expertise they have developed allows
them to represent defendants charged with the simplest of crimes
to crimes of severe magnitude. These nationally renowned criminal
law attorneys are qualified to represent defendants in every type
of court environment, from Municipal Courts to the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals, including persons who are facing the death penalty.
Greg and
Mark can defend clients against all types of misdemeanor charges,
including D.U.I.s, reckless driving, street racing, negligent driving,
hit and run, and driver’s license violations. Their work with
these crimes also includes representation at administrative hearings
before the Department of Licensing. Other misdemeanor charges
that they defend include theft, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol-related
offenses.
Mark and
Greg also have decades of experience in the defense of felonies including
murder, manslaughter, sex offenses, drug offenses, offenses involving
firearms, vehicular assault and vehicular homicide, and “strike” offenses
such as robbery, burglary, kidnapping, and assault. They are
also experienced in the use of forensic DNA in criminal investigations.
With their experience, together with the substantial resources
of a firm such as
Hanis Irvine Prothero, persons requiring
defense in a serious criminal matter can be assured that they will
have every protection afforded by the law and by the Constitution.
In
addition to the defense of people charged with misdemeanors and felonies,
our Criminal Law Department can also assist clients in many related
ways. They can assist clients with extradition issues and civil
actions for unlawful detentions; can help defendants in obtaining
vacations of criminal convictions and also in getting certificates
of rehabilitation. They can also assist clients with a post-conviction
restoration of their civil rights, including their right to vote and
their right to possess firearms, through the expunging of a client’s
criminal history
