Our Legal Services

We provide expert legal assistance in various fields, including:

Legal Consultation

As with any criminal offense, a conviction can impact your life in negative ways, affecting your employment, professional licensing, and even personal relationships. Consulting with ASM Defenders about your legal issue is always confidential and free of charge. We will consult with you about your specific circumstances and discuss the legal issues involved and provide you with the appropriate path forward.

Case Preparation & Strategy

After retaining ASM Defenders, we will work diligently with you to review the facts of the case and analyze the evidence to ensure that the appropriate case strategy is implemented with the goal of securing the best possible outcome. It is important to review all possible defenses and potential challenges to the evidence presented, as well as exploring options for diversion or alternative sentencing if appropriate.

Court Representation

We will provide you with superior experienced advocacy during all phases of a case from origin to disposition. We will prepare all relevant motions, attend all hearings and preliminary hearings in felony cases, with the intent to resolve your case prior to trial. If trial becomes warranted, we will provide trial-level advocacy and tell your story so that juries will hear and understand.

Protecting Your Freedom with Proven Defense Strategies

Criminal Defense

A criminal conviction, whether charged as a misdemeanor or felony, can impact your life in various ways. It can affect your potential employment, eligibility for or revocation of professional licenses, and even your personal relationships and reputation.

Restraining Orders

Restraining orders can involve domestic violence, civil harassment, or elder abuse. If you have been served with a temporary restraining order, an experienced attorney can make the difference in whether a permanent order is issued at the upcoming hearing.

Juvenile Dependency

When a county services agency obtains the authority to remove children from the custody of their parents, it is a deeply trying time for both children and parents. If a petition has been filed under the Welfare and Institutions code, you will first attend a detention hearing where your children can be detained

Dependency Appeals

If you have been hailed into juvenile court for a dependency case, your right of appeal is critical to maintaining your parental rights. ASM Defenders will review your case, determine all issues for appeal and brief the California Court of Appeal to ensure that your rights are preserved.
