Driving Offenses and Drunk Driving (DUI) Defense

Driving-related offenses can lead to severe, long-term consequences, including loss of your driver’s license, large fines, and even jail time. Booth Law has a proven record of successfully defending individuals charged with DUI, reckless driving, hit-and-run, driving on a suspended license, and other traffic-related crimes.

We thoroughly review the facts of your arrest, scrutinize improper police tactics, and utilize proven legal defenses to preserve your driver’s license and minimize the impact on your driving record.

Drug Crimes Defense

Even a minor drug crime charge in California can have a significant negative impact on your life. Booth Law represents persons throughout the State of California who have been charged with possession, possession for sale, sales and distribution, manufacturing, and trafficking of controlled substances such as marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, and many others. We know how essential it is to challenge the search and seizure process, the lab results, and all evidence. Our firm fights for a diversion or drug treatment instead of jail whenever possible. We have an excellent success rate in obtaining reductions and dismissals of charges in drug cases.

Defense Against Violent Crimes

Charges for violent crimes-from assault and battery to robbery to murder-can carry life-changing consequences, including a permanent criminal record. Booth Law gets aggressive defending clients charged with serious offenses. We investigate every facet of the case, look for discrepancies in witness statements, and use expert testimony when needed. Booth Law negotiates favorable plea agreements as often as possible, but we will absolutely take your case to trial if that’s what’s best for you. Your freedom and reputation mean everything to us.

Theft, Fraud and Other Property Offenses

Theft, burglary, shoplifting, and other property crimes can lead to severe punishments that can undermine your career and future: embezzlement, grand theft, receiving stolen property, and all theft charges in California. Booth Law has extensive experience in the full range of theft and property crimes, from relatively minor shoplifting cases to highly sophisticated white collar crime investigations. We analyze every aspect, from the video surveillance to testimony reliability, and aggressively pursue every possible chance to have charges reduced or dismissed or the case resolved through diversion or civil compromise.

Domestic Violence and Restraining Orders

Arrests or restraining orders raised by allegations of domestic violence can have a devastating social and professional impact on our clients. Those repercussions come immediately in the form of protective orders or loss of child custody, but every allegation also has the potential to damage a person’s reputation.

Booth Law takes these sensitive cases with discretion and dedication. We represent clients facing charges for domestic battery, criminal threats, stalking, restraining order violations, and more. We work diligently to expose fraudulent or overstated allegations to protect you both in the courtroom and in your day-to-day life.

Sex Crimes and Sexual Offense Defense

The trauma of a sex-related allegation can be immeasurable. If the charges against you are not vigorously litigated, you could become permanently registered as a sex offender in the state of California. Booth Law defends individuals who have been charged with sexual assault, rape, indecent exposure, child molestation, and Internet-related sex crimes. We understand how delicate and stigmatized sexual offense allegations are, and take action to handle your case with sensitivity and confidentiality. Our attorneys know how to dismantle thin evidence, undermine unreliable witnesses, and mount a compelling, fact-driven defense on your behalf.

Record Clearing and Expungements

A conviction you thought was behind you can stand in the way of advancement long after the case is resolved. Booth Law assists qualified clients with expungements, sealing of records, and other post-conviction relief to clear your personal history. We evaluate your eligibility for relief, prepare all required forms, and provide advocacy on your behalf in the trial court. Our firm has enabled many clients to move forward with their lives through the clearing of criminal records, opening doors to employment, housing, and professional licensing.
