A Real Free Consultation
Many lawyers promise a free consultation, but only deliver a 15 minute sales pitch. Not Jerry. On your first visit, he will sit down with you for as long as you need to fully review your Orange County criminal defense case and all of your legal options.

My promise to you:
  • You can call me at any time. My phones are staffed by a live person 24/7.
  • I will discuss your case with you for as long as you need and at no charge to determine what actions should or should not be taken for your particular situation.
  • No case is too big or too small. I have handled criminal cases ranging from shoplifting to murder.
  • I will not "dump" your case on the first or second court appearance by entering a "guilty" or "no contest" plea; unlike many attorneys who charge low fees and plead their clients out on the first or second court appearance.
  • I will attempt to have your case dismissed prior to the charges being filed; if your case has already been filed, I will attempt to reduce the charges against you.
  • If your case goes to trial, I will seek a "Not Guilty" verdict. My skill as a trial lawyer allows me to often obtain better results than lawyers who simply "negotiate pleas."
  • I will keep you informed at all times regarding every aspect of your case.
