Olga

Olga

Senior Paralegal

Handles court dates and negotiation with prosecutors, keeping clients informed about each important decision before it is made.

Prepared, Responsive and Evidence-Focused

Clients need more than a lawyer who appears in court. They need someone who reviews the evidence, explains the process, answers questions clearly and understands how court decisions affect life outside the courtroom.

Our approach is built around preparation: requesting discovery, identifying legal issues, preserving mitigation and making sure the client understands each important decision before it is made.

A Defense Strategy That Fits the Client

Some clients need to protect a license. Others need to protect employment, immigration status, professional licensing, family responsibilities or future opportunities. The defense plan should reflect those priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to go to court?

In many misdemeanor DUI matters, an attorney may be able to appear for you. Whether that applies depends on the charge, court and facts of the case.

Can a DUI charge be reduced?

Many cases are resolved through negotiation, but the result depends on the evidence, prior history, court and prosecutor. The goal is to find weaknesses and push for the best available outcome.

What should I do first?

Speak with a defense attorney quickly, especially if your license may be at risk. DMV deadlines can arrive before the first court date.
