When a criminal charge threatens your future, career, family, and freedom, I step in. Having handled thousands of Driving Under the Influence charges in California, I know exactly what a DUI conviction can cost you and how important it is to preserve your license and record.

I will always be direct with you about what is at stake and what the best path forward is. Together, we will minimize the impact of a DUI or other criminal charges, such as drug possession or domestic violence, on your life.

Our Practice Areas


A single moment of weakness or foolishness is all it takes to put a lifetime of work at risk. Criminal charges like DUIs threaten your professional licenses, career prospects, education, and your freedom. At the very least, you risk losing driving privileges, (which are all but impossible to live without in Central Valley), and at most, you could be looking at jail time.


When that happens, you deserve a professional and experienced defender who focuses on exactly the kind of situation you are in. Here at the Cain Law Office, I handle DUI, drug crimes, and domestic violence charges – and I’m prepared to use my keen understanding of criminal law to steer your future in the right direction.


Defense That Central Valley Professionals Like Can Count On

Over a hundred thousand drivers are convicted of Driving Under the Influence in California each year. You do not want to be one of them.

If you have been pulled over, arrested, or charged with a DU – whether or not you have failed a field sobriety test or a blood alcohol test – there may still be room to help salvage your license, driving privileges, and career.

I will work around the clock to get your charges dropped or dismissed and if that’s not legally possible, I will negotiate for an outcome that minimizes the damage of the arrest for the rest of your life.

Alcohol is not the only substance that can get you charged with driving under the influence. From illegal drugs to prescription medications and, of course, California’s recently decriminalized cannabis, there are a dozen ways to land yourself in hot water with the police.

While the charges are often the same, the defenses required and the approach needed to beat drug-related DUI charges can sometimes be completely different.

Luckily for you, I have considerable experience handling the nuances of drug-DUI charges as well, and I will do everything in my power to keep them from ruining your career and future.

Drug possession and trafficking charges present a great danger to your future and freedom.

From jail time to prison sentences, a drug crime conviction can derail your life – unless I can help you avoid it altogether.

By evaluating police evidence, calling into question their search methods and results, or negotiating an alternative sentence, I can often ensure that a drug crime does not result in a fatal blow to your career or future.

If the police ever show up at your house or apartment because the neighbors called about a dispute, it is unlikely they will be leaving without putting someone under arrest.

Even if all that happened was a heated argument, police will often bring domestic violence charges, regardless of what you or your partner say.

You need an advocate who understands more than just the law and how to beat these charges – you need someone who knows the stakes that are at play when facing a conviction that can chip at the foundation of your career and family.
