Criminal Defense Services in San Diego County
San Diego County brings the full weight of its legal system against those it charges. We fight back with equal force. Liberty Criminal Defense & DUI’s practice covers every criminal charge filed in San Diego County courts:
- DUI Defense: Dissecting every phase of your DUI arrest, from the legality of the traffic stop or checkpoint to the calibration records of the breath and blood testing equipment, to expose flaws the prosecution is counting on you missing.
- Domestic Violence: Protecting the accused against emotionally charged allegations where facts are often distorted, ensuring that one bad night doesn’t define the rest of your life.
- Drug Crimes: Mounting aggressive suppression motions and strategic defenses for everything from misdemeanor possession to distribution and trafficking charges, including cases arising near the border and along the I-5 and I-8 corridors.
- Sex Crimes: Providing a steel-walled defense against allegations that carry lifelong consequences, including sex offender registration, because your reputation deserves the same fierce protection as your freedom.
- Assault & Violent Crimes: Constructing strong self-defense and reasonable doubt arguments against charges of battery, aggravated assault, robbery, and homicide.
- Weapons Charges: Cutting through California’s complex and frequently misunderstood firearm laws to defend against unlawful possession, carrying, and use allegations.
- Fraud & White Collar Crimes: Untangling complex financial records and digital evidence to dismantle prosecutions built on embezzlement, wire fraud, identity theft, and insurance fraud accusations.
- Bail Hearings: Moving fast, because the hours after an arrest matter most, to argue for reduced bail or release on your own recognizance so you can fight your case as a free person.
- Expungements: Clearing your record of past arrests and convictions so that a single chapter of your history stops blocking your future opportunities.
