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

their civil rights, including their right to vote and their right

history
