What makes us the best criminal attorneys serving Cathedral City?
We Don't Dabble—We Dominate Criminal Defense: We don't spread ourselves thin with divorces and business deals. We're not here to play the game; we're here to win the game. We live and breathe criminal law, making us experts in the field. We know how the system works, and we know how to fight it.
We Know This Place: We're not outsiders. We've spent years in these courts, especially the Larson Justice Center in Indio, where the real fights happen. We know the judges, we know the procedures, and we know how to get results. Riverside County has the harshest courts in California. It is a tough place to be a criminal defense attorney. We've been here since 2007.
Our Record Speaks for Itself: We've seen it all, and we've won. Hundreds of cases dismissed, dozens of "not guilty" verdicts, and more than 100 five-star reviews from people whose lives we've fought for. Palm Springs Life Magazine has recognized us as "Top Lawyers" every year since 2013.
We Limit Our Caseload, We Don't Limit Our Effort: We don't believe in running a legal mill, pushing cases through like cattle. We limit our caseload so we can give you the time and attention you deserve. We're not afraid to dig deep, to leave no stone unturned in your defense.
We're on Your Side, Not the System's: We believe in you. We treat you with the respect and dignity you deserve. We will be your voice when no one else will listen, your shield when the system comes for you, and your sword to fight them back.
We are Criminal Defense Lawyers Committed to Working Fighting the System
Never Prosecutors, Never Cops: We've never been on the other side of the so-called "criminal justice system," sending people to jail for the fun of it. We've always been on the side of the accused, and we'll never turn our back on that. We've spent our careers fighting against the system, and we're not about to join it now.
What We Fight For:
DUI Defense: They want to take away your freedom. We're here to protect your driving privileges and your future. We'll fight at every turn, from DMV hearings to trials.
Drug Crimes: Possession, sales, trafficking—they're all the same to the system. But they're not the same to us. We'll fight for diversion and alternative sentencing, and we'll do everything we can to help you get your life back.
Violent Crimes: They call you an animal. We know you're a person. We'll stand beside you and fight against serious charges like assault, robbery, and homicide.
Sex Crimes: False accusations can ruin a life. Our law office handles these cases with the care and the ferocity they demand. We will protect your future and make sure you receive fair treatment in a system that often forgets that "innocent until proven guilty" is more than just words.
Domestic Violence: In these cases, emotions run high. We're here to make sure your voice is heard, and to protect your rights, whether you're in a traditional or same-sex relationship.
Restraining Orders: An unjust restraining order can cost you everything. We won't let that happen. We'll challenge those orders and fight to protect your life.
Mental Health Issues: Sometimes, there are things going on that the legal system doesn't see. If you struggle with a mental health condition, we will find a defense that recognizes that and advocates for treatment rather than just punishment.
Our Fight is Your Fight
We Represent Everyone: We stand with tourists who get caught up in a bad situation, members of the LGBTQ community who are judged unfairly, and anyone who has been accused of an offense due to a mental health issue.
We Know How to Tell Your Story: At the Trial Lawyers College, Joshua Mulligan learned how to take a case and turn it into a story that moves people. We don't just present the facts; we show the heart and soul of your case, to make sure that justice prevails.
We Won't Back Down: We fight for your rights. We will be in court with you from start to finish. We know how to take on the big cases, to stand up against the power of the system and to fight for your freedom.
We Understand That Mental Health Matters: We know that sometimes the reasons behind a criminal charge are more complicated than what the police see. We'll look for ways to show that and get you help if it is appropriate.
Don't let them take your life away. If you're looking for a Cathedral City criminal lawyer or a Cathedral City DUI attorney, call us now for a free consultation. We'll listen to your story, and we'll start fighting for you today. We're here to turn your story into justice.
