Homicide Cases
Homicide is the killing of one human being by another, and in California, there are numerous types of unlawful, as well as excusable and justifiable homicides.
DUI Offenses
In California, many drivers are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and other drugs, otherwise known as a DUI offense. Penalties for DUI convictions include license suspension, jail time, and significant fines. In addition to criminal proceedings, a DUI defendant may also request an administrative hearing before the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to contest the automatic suspension of his or her driver’s license. For more information about DUIs and DMV administrative hearings, please see our DUI page.
There are numerous other types of traffic crimes in California, ranging from driving with a suspended license or reckless driving to hit-and-run crimes. These and other charges can result in significant fines and even jail time. Our criminal defense attorneys handled a wide range of DUI and other traffic crime charges, and firm principal Daniel C. Morgan’s prior experience as a police officer and Certified Traffic Accident Investigator gives him a unique understanding of how best to defend against these types of criminal charges.
Domestic Violence & Crimes Against Children
Domestic violence is abuse committed against people with whom you have an intimate or familial relationship, such as a spouse, a cohabitant, a fiancé, a person whom you are dating, a child, or the parent of your child. Abuse can include recklessly causing bodily injury, placing another person in fear of immediate serious bodily injury, or sexual assault. California law provides for a specific domestic violence restraining order, violations of which can lead to serious criminal penalties. For more information about domestic violence and related restraining orders, please see our domestic violence page.
The Penal Code also defines a number of specific crimes against children, including through the enactment of the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act. These crimes include child abuse, child neglect, child endangerment, sexual abuse, sexual assault, molestation, and sexual exploitation (including child pornography). Arrests or convictions for domestic violence and crimes against children can have a significant impact on family law matters, such as child custody and visitation rights. For more information about family law matters, please see our family law overview page.
